Ballot Design Case Expenses
Dear Monmouth County,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access.
The records requested relate to two federal lawsuits concerning the design of New Jersey’s primary ballots: Conforti v. Hanlon, 3:20-cv-08267 (USDNJ) and Kim v. Hanlon, 3:24-cv-01098 (USDNJ) including its Third Circuit appeal (3d Cir, 24-1594).
Records requested:
1. Documents constituting or evidencing a list of all payments to outside counsel, legal consultants, and other expenses associated with these lawsuits since July 1, 2020. (Note: I am seeking payments related to the legal challenges described above. If you cannot sort in that manner, then I will take a list of all payments. This probably exists in a vendor history/activity report.)
2. Invoices for outside counsel, legal consultants, and other expenses associated with the lawsuits described above since July 1, 2020. (Note: Again, I am only seeking payments related to the legal challenges described above. If you can sort in that manner, then that is all that is needed. Otherwise, I request all invoices.)
Please produce the list of payments immediately. I understand the invoices may take longer, although they are also "immediate access" documents.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil

Dear Monmouth County,
I left a phone at the Clerk of the Board's office earlier today. I just wanted to make sure my request was received and will be processed.
I do not see a portal or the word OPRA on the website referenced in the out-of-office message I received ("you may submit your request via the online portal at visitmonmouth.com") and I prefer not to use such a portal. Please confirm the status of my request. Thank you very much and have a nice weekend.
Yours faithfully,
Charlie Kratovil
