Hoffman back in court
Independent U.S. Senate candidate Herbert Hoffman of Ogunquit and 13 co-plaintiffs went back to federal District Court Thursday in another attempt to have Hoffman's name appear on the November general election ballot, according to his campaign.
Hoffman has been trying for months to get his name on the ballot alongside incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, D-Maine.
His attorney, John Branson of Portland, filed an emergency motion for reconsideration of the U. S. District Court's August 29th denial of a temporary restraining order, because of what Branson characterizes as "manifest errors of law" that had been used as the basis for that denial.
If the restraining order had been granted last week, Hoffman's name would have stayed on the ballot while the case moved forward.
Meanwhile, Collins continues her bus tour around Maine and Allen has lined up a list of U.S. Senators who will be here this weekend campaigning with him in various locations.
Meanwhile, the Dobson For Senate Campaign is filing a lawsuit in Federal Court, following a narrow ruling by the Law Court, which did not address the Constitutional issues brought up in the appeal which was heard by the Maine Supreme Court on Friday.
The campaign's legal brief is listed on the website at www.dobsonforsenate.com on the blog. A detailed press release, specifying the Constitutional grounds to be presented before the Federal Court will be issued from the campaign at filing.
