Ballot Design Case Expenses

The request was successful.

Charlie Kratovil

Dear Camden 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
