Thank you for the support and I appreciate your posts immensely as well.
On that note, here's a court filing from Friday from defendant Ann Selzer in Trump's lawsuit over a poll she made during the election campaign where Trump is trying to step all over the First Amendment's freedom of the press.
"Mr. Trump and Ms. Miller-Meeks allege their campaigns “expend[ed] extensive time and
resources to mitigate and counteract the harms” of the Iowa Poll, though they do not allege what
those resources or expenditures were. (Id. at ¶¶ 131–32.) Rep. Miller-Meeks alleges her close race
triggered a “costly recount.” (Id. at ¶ 91.) Under Iowa law, the State of Iowa—not Rep. Miller
Meeks or her campaign—paid for the recount. Iowa Code § 50.48(2)(a). Mr. Zaun, who lost his
state senate seat to Democrat Matt Blake by four points, alleges Blake’s victory “upon information
and belief [was] fueled by momentum from” the Iowa Poll. (Id. at ¶ 101.) Plaintiffs also allege the
poll “deceived Iowans who contributed to their campaigns.” (Id. at ¶¶ 117–18.)"
