Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether the Tennessee State Supreme Court's decision conflicts with other State Supreme Courts and denies Petitioners' right of suffrage and to redress grievances

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1) The Tennessee State Supreme Court has entered a decision in conflict with the decisions of two other State Supreme Courts recently rendered in this mat‘ ter, and as it affects a Constitutional right of Petitioners, in that they have been denied their right of suffrage and to redress this and related grievances, we ask this Court to settle this without delay. 2) A conflict exists whether this matter should be heard in State Court or Federal Court in Tennessee, and we ask our Honorable Justices to settle this as Judges in Tennessee have failed to hold a hearing for this matter in State Court, and Federal Court has failed to remand and also failed to hold a hearing on this in Tennessee as law issued by this Court affirms. As this Court has already rendered a decision that it should be heard at both levels, Petitioners ask their Justices to settle this conflict in these Courts quickly. 3) There is a serious conflict between a decision regarding treason as rendered by this Court and the failure of the lower courts to hear or order this matter be heard as per this Court’s decision and the Constitution. As this matter is of utmost importance to our na; tional security as it involves treason and the flipping of the 2020 electronic vote for the office of President and Vice President, and involves the refusal to act by many government officers including Judges with a sworn duty to act whom Petitioners reported this to, and as this has left our nation compromised at the highest level, we ask this Court to quickly resolve this. ii : QUESTIONS PRESENTED Continued 4) A conflict exists between Federal Law and State law in this matter, and elections have been held in Tennessee and many other States upon electronic voting machines not certified per federal law. We therefore ask our Honorable Justices to decide: Should the 2020 and 2022 elections held in States participating in the 7 Federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) law but who used machines not certified according to this federal | law be decertified, because not only Petitioners’ State, but multiple States failed to uphold this federal law : and used electronic voting machines not certified per that law.
