1. What law, government policy, or action (taken by a government official) do you request that the Court review?
During the September 2022 General Election The Voting Booth disclosed more than it was legally allowed to from my private ballot.
2. What portions of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Legal Code, or other legal document do you believe has been violated by the above? How so?
According to Section 4.4: Overall Election Law:
Further my right to cast an anonymous ballot was infringed upon when my additional "ramblings" where posted along side my ballot. The text of such ballot can be found below now that my anonymity has been infringed upon and my vote public.
3. Are there any prior rulings of the Court that support your request for review? Which ones, and how?
Not that I am aware of as this is a particularly unique issue we have not seen the likes of before.
4. Please establish your standing by detailing how you, personally, have been adversely affected. If you are requesting a review of a governmental action, you must include how any rights or freedoms of yours have been violated.
My standing is that my vote and nonsensical ramblings have been shared publicly removing my right to cast a private ballot, a right I did not yield by using an id of 9003 as a random number generator could very easily produce such a result. Further The voting booth knowingly edited my vote to alter the appearance, while this did not effect whom I voted for I feel as though my vote has substantially changed its apperance. The original vote contained two quote tags at the bottom thus proving that The voting booth has the ability to remove any of "the other details of the vote"
5. Is there a compelling regional interest in resolving your request? If so, explain why it is in the interest of the region as whole for your request to be decided now.
Allowing users to decorate votes with ramblings that have to be posted by the voting booth could lead to spam or more oversight for the EC, Thus delaying the democratic process. Furthermore a user could accidentally send personally identifying information via ballot should they not release that they are still sending a DM. While this information may be damaging if seen by anyone reducing the spread of said information should be the regions duty to protect its citizens.
6. Do you have any further information you wish to submit to the Court with your request?
None at this time.
