before and we are now before you are really only four issues that we were able to divine through motion practice and drive the fundamental question for an election contest petition is this does the electoral results reflect the will of the people and we  contend and we believe that the evidence shows that the result that has been reported in unity in university or in two thousand and eleven does not reflect the will of the people and while sixty eight poland we poland ve mullion stated as a general rule ignorance inadvertence a state or even intentional wrong will not be permitted to disenfranchise voters because to do so offends the fourteenth amendment to the united states constitution in article three of the illinois house to sion that guarantees that all elections be free and equal and every ballot legally passed as the same way each of these provisional ballots should be open and how to and the evidence at trial voter is registered at the address shown from information provided by you know the voter and election judge the state wide voter database the current student bodies or the secretary of state's case and that that the voter if the clerk is able to verify that the voter is registered at the address shown in all three cases that we are going to argue the clerk was not able to verify that the voter was park since two thousand and four she's voted at that address many times and for years at the two thousand and eleven municipal election though ms boyd went to her polling place cast her ballot she was told you're not on the happened was that the secretary of state had mistakenly registered ms boyd and another address and that registration canceled her registration in university  park in two thousand and nine ms boyd entered into a contract to purchase an investment property in stock village illinois in cook county in order to have she said no it was not to be for primary address it was an investment property she bought it as an investment and as it plays for her children to live and she was not moving and she did not want to saw village does not bear her signature so not only did she say no she didn't sign anything but yet it was put through i was her changed registration was cook county that information was reflected to the illinois state or of elections statewide voter database which then noticed that we have a dual registration for ms boyd one one and will the state board of elections database then notified will quality that there and then an updated registration form is void and will county cancel this void is university park registration so although newsboy did miss boys the entire family was register at her university park at rest and was eligible to vote in the twenty a level election  wiedmaier and will county doesn't excellent job with their elections let me say that she said and admitted even if the information we get is incorrect we have to follow me up there's you know the rising because this is such a obviously such a close election and only because we have properly invest in the trial forms with this matter i wouldn't see this as  a similar situation mr parker on january the first twenty levon i went to the only department of human services office and registered to vote at his home in university park five fifteen voter registration act which is popularly referred to as the motor voter law agencies such as the illinois department of human services are designated as voter registration agencies at trial  r parker produced his application to vote and he clearly did apply to become a registered voter the problem couldn't provide anything else that would have demonstrated that they were registered to vote in university park so i moved quickly to sydney felt mr bell's provisional bal whereas he lived at six fifty seven sullivan lane outside of monet five the evidence that we provided for the trial works to demonstrate that he lived at six fifty seven so mr the landlord walks through the house monthly at six fifty seven lane observed them in their living with his family and the landlord him self live down the street and then finally the landlord would receive a proportional reduction in the vote totals that they garnered in that precinct thank you very much y we know from the record and she states though that when she went to vote she showed him an id card we don't know which target was we can guarantee it wasn't awareness that's awful all right so she has chosen a course of action here and the chronology is critically important she had long skinny for the court a court had to look at all the evidence and determine if i open this ballot do i affect the outcome of the race or do i implicate other issues in the testimony of witnesses self  gentleman who admits for nineteen years he's illegally voting out of his father's house the facts in this pretty clear he lives with one of the best with his parents for series of years he moved down the block to block or so away ok he can use from the age of twenty three to forty two your public record of having signed the emanation a ballot in cook county establishing residency being registered there you see in the record around pages eight hundred or so all his records and so he put those two together what ballots those facts against the law said it was  creates a higher level of consideration and implication federal constitutional rights and my only point here a very minor point here is to say the state doesn't lose the ability to control the qualifications of balance that i'm really just going to to address you particular points first with respect to all three provisional ballots that we've been arguing over each of these three individuals brought suit on their own not all that uncommon in the election law world where you are able to determine exactly how a certain individual voted by if perhaps you are conducting a discovery recount in a particular precinct that only had one absentee ballots and you know exactly who it is you know exactly how they voted so that does happen sometimes and in no way should   my second point i'd like to make is with respect to the intent of germ all right no we were not able to we did not produce germ all right to tell us what is intent was
