Nationals Case Description

“On March 17, 2015, the city of Truman, Midlands held its mayoral election. That night, the
media reported that incumbent Max Heisman defeated challenger Elizabeth Ginger, and the city
tabulation director certified the result the next day. On March 20, Ginger filed a civil lawsuit against
Heisman that alleges election fraud and seeks to overturn the election. An expedited trial is
scheduled to begin April 17, 2015. Both parties have requested a jury trial. ”
