Amazingly unprofessional order. Either the Judge need to check his work before putting it out, or his secretary does (from JSonline.com):
“Even so, Statehouse staffers spent Tuesday afternoon counting the mistakes in Flanagan’s 11-page order on voter ID.
The most notable is Flanagan’s reference to “Justice William Scalia.” That would be U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Several sentences in the decision are garbled.
Flanagan refers to the wrong section of the state Constitution when he says it “sets forth explicitly the requirement for eligibility to vote, Art. I, Sect. 2 (4).”
The article and section cited by Flanagan deals, instead, with the prohibition of slavery. He meant to refer to Article III.”
Impressive.
