"#Lindell told The Washington Post in an interview that he plans to fight the panel’s ruling and #Zeidman is only pursuing the #money to try to 'discredit' the #evidence he has of the election fraud."

Well, duh. Wasn't that the whole point of Lindell's "contest"??

Sheesh. These people are DENSE! 😒

pp 11-12:

At issue are two key phrases: (1) “prove that the data Lindell provides, and represents reflects **information from the November 2020 election,** unequivocally does NOT reflect information related to the November 2020 election,” and (2) “whether the submission proves to a 100% degree of certainty that the data shown at the Symposium is not reflective of **November 2020 election data.**” (Emphasis added.)
————

You can't use a broad view of "related to" to mean "related to in any way" in the phrase "unequivocally does NOT reflect information related to the November 2020 election" when the above bolded phrases restrict the possible readings. Contracts must be read as a whole.

So then in pp 13-14, the defense is ridiculed:

————
Defining data as being merely “about the election” or “relating to the election” ignores the Contest rules’ reference to data “from the election” and reference to “election data.” These terms require the data not merely be about the election, but must be from the election process itself. As admitted by Mr. Lindell, this would be packet capture data. Thus, if data is not PCAP data, it is not from the election, and it therefore cannot be “related to the November 2020 election.”

In fact, it would be unreasonable to conclude that any data about the election is “election data.” Newspaper articles and broadcast news about the election are transmitted as data over the internet, for example. It is unreasonable to conclude that any data file containing those accounts – or excerpts from such a file – would qualify as election data in a contest. If such data qualified, the Contest would not really be a contest at all.

Ouch! #Lindell #Zeidman
