    1 Defendant's claim that the Plaintiff lS looking onl2 for special relief of being placed on the ballot,3 simply a fraudulent statement. The pleadings clear 14 state that the Plaintiff spent $40,000 of her own mane5 and over $10,000 of money donated by her supporters to6 run for the office of California Secretary of State.7 Plaintiff stated In the complaint that she was force8 to run against the opponent, who was committing fraud,9 as he never provided on his voter registration car

    10 mandatory disclosure of his prior voter registration in11 two other states: CA and TX. Plaintiff provided the

    whic12 court with an attachment to the complaint,13 contained a Defendant f s prior voter registration fro

    15FL, which showed him registered as a Democrat in FL. InCA he ran in Republican primary as a Republican.Plaintiff also provided the court with a letter frothe registrar of voters from Jacksonville, Duval CountFL, which stated that Defendant contacted the registrarof voters III FL and demanded to delete from thedatabase record of his voter registration, which showehim registered as a Democrat. The registrar in Frefused to delete this information from the database,as this was a permanent record. At the same timeDefendant failed to provide this information to theRegistrar of voters in Orange County California. Theseactions on part of the Defendant, Damon Dunn, showethat he remembered that he registered in Florida as aDemocrat, he tried to delete these records, which shows

    1 a pattern of fraud and further pattern of attempte2 cover up of fraud.

    the defense 1S seeking a decision on the3 While4 pleadings, the only decision that can be made, 1S that5 the defendant indeed committed fraud. The defendant6 does not provide any evidence that would contradict the7 fact that he registered in two other states and that he8 did not include this information 1n the require9 mandatory disclosure section of his voter registratio

    10 card. He did not negate the fact that he contacted the11 registrar in FL and asked to delete from the data base12 his voter registration from FL. He is just saying that13 his FL registration was no longer good. His14 impossibility to vote 1n FL does not negate his frame15 of mind and actions. As such the only ruling on th16 p1eadings can be in favor of the plaintiff.1718 Wherefore the plaintiff moves this honorable court t19 1. deny the motion for judgment on the pleadings or 120 the alterna tive allow the plainti ff the leave of21 to file a first amended complaint to cure m1no22 technical errors in the complaint, that might be faun23 valid errors by the court24 2. award the plaintiffs reasonable fees for the timespent on research and drafting of this opposition25262728

    ACTIONS OF THE DEFENDANTDefendant lS saying that because Debra Bowen, secretarof state of CA did not make him fill out a new voteregistration card and did not remove him fromballot, somehow excuses Dunn's actions. Wrongdoing aanother party does not excuse the wrongdoing of theDefendant.

    1 Whether Secretary of state Debra Bowen acte2 negligently or in bad faith, 1S irrelevant to actions3 by the defendant. Defendant knew that he registered to4 vote 1n two other states: Texas and Florida. He kne5 that he registered previously as a Democrat.

Nomination fraud14 Plaintiff plead not only voter fraud and elections, but15 also nomination fraud. Plaintiff provided informatio16 regarding nominators Mr. and Mrs. Linton, who17 listed by Dunn as nominators f but who stated that the18 never nominated him.

    lOne of the most outrageous allegations l.n the

    18 Transcript of the 07.01.2011 hearing (Exhibit 1)

    2 Defendant' 5 motion is a notion that the Plaintiff di3 not file her legal action timely. In reality the4 Plaintiff filed timely in June of 2010. Plaintiff5 scheduled three TRO hearings. Defendant did not show u6 on June 17 and 23rd and an order to show cause was7 scheduled by Hon Cori Cramin and the case was8 transferred to unlimited jurisdiction and a hearing was9 held on 07.01.2010 with Hon Jeffrey Glass. At

    10 07.01.2011 M. Hildreth argued that there is no need to11 hold an expedited hearing prior to General election, as12 there will be a remedy of nullifying the results of the13 primary election, if it was found that fraud was14 committed by the Defendant. The fact that now the15 Defendant 1S claiming that the plaintiff did not act16 timely, shows bad faith on part of the defendant, wh17 is making a flagrantly fraudulent allegation.

    19 shows f that as Taitz argued for expedited handling 020 the case, prior to the Certification of the Republican21 primary, Hildreth opposed by stating " ..' The point t22 make 1S that the elections code provides for this23 circumstance where somebody is unhappy or feels that24 the person who was elected did not deserve to be25 elected or somehow instituted fraud on the process. An26 basically what the elections code stipulates 18 that27 the certification goes forward, but that if - If the28

    1 fraud or whatever it lS proven, that a new certificate

    3of election is issued. ""+++Butif Ms. Taitz is somehow able to prove up herclaim/ that a new certification of election would beissued to the, quote, unquote, winner of the primarelection. II

And, you know, she does havelegal remedy that is adequate to her, which is provideby the elections cade" Transcript of 07.01.2010 Motionfor TRO hearing.The court itself stated II We are here on aemergency, not to get it certified. What my questiois? Why is there an emergency? If it is certified, theelections can still be annulled based on fraud."At this time the Plaintiff, Dr. Taitz is seekingexactly the remedy, that was described by the HoJeffrey Glass and by the Defense attorney himself:is seeking to annul the results of the prlmarRepublican California election based on fraud committeby the Defendant candidate Damon Dunn, who knowinglfailed to provide to the registrar and the secretary 0

    In his motion for judgment on the merits the Defendantmakes an outrageous statement: "Contestant had an ampletime and opportunity to seek remedy (i.e. to have her

    1 name placed on general Election ballot after the2 Primary Election and Prior to the General election.3 However, Contestant did not pursue her Election Contest

    5in a timely fashion and, thus, the matter is now mootand this court no longer maintains jurisdiction"Clearly the defendant and his attorney know that thisstatement is made with malice and represent aegregious fraud on the court. Clearly they know, thatthe Plaintiff filed a timely action, served them,argued in three hearings and Mr. Hildreth, attorney fothe defendants argued that there is no reason to havean expedited hearing. This is not a differentrepresentation of a point of law, this is just aegregious fraud on the court.

    F AFFIDAVIT VERIFYING THE COMPLAINT WAS FILEDDefendant states that this court does not have

    jurisdiction over this case because the contestant didnot verify her contest. As stated previously, the

    complaint includes multiple causes of action, not justElections contest and those causes of action of fraud,elections fraud, voter fraud, nomination fraud do not

    require a verified complaint.Additionally, the contestant signed the affidavit anverified her complaint ln a signed affidavit.Plaintiff checked the docket and it shows that 006.23.2010(filed with the court on 06.24.2010) sueaffidavit was filed.

Fothis reason the legislature gave the candidates 5 daysafter completion of canvassing to file their contests.Taitz, who never ran for a political office before andid not know when the canva ssi.nq will be officiallover, acted with abundance of caution, she wanted tmake sure the contest will not be late, that it is in aproper court and proper jurisdiction. Indeed, thecontest originally filed in the Laguna Hills divisionwas transferred to Santa Ana division by judge CoriCramin, who initially presided over the case. Whentheresults of the election were announced on TVand newspapers, she filed her contest. At the end of theofficial canva ssi.nq the contest was in place. It wasnot late, it was not untimely.

Kirkwood (1902) 13Cal. 396 [69 P. 30] (irregularities result of ignorancor inadvertence; election upheld where no harm done)Here the court 1S talking about irregularities stemminfrom ignorance or inadvertence.Yet again Atkinson v.

Dunn says that he was notaffiliated with another party for 12 months prior telection. Dunn wants this court to rule on thepleadings, however there lS nowhere In the pleadingsanything, stating that Dunn was not a member of anotheparty for 12 months before the election.As a matter of fact, the pleadings show his voteregistration from FL, where he is registered asDemocrat. As Dunn refused to submit to deposition anwe did not have trial yet, we do not have informatioshowing us that he severed his ties with the Democratparty. This is a disputed matter of fact, to bedetermined at trial. Even if you were to believe thathe severed his ties to the Democrat partyfit stilldoes not negate fraud, committed by Dunn III noproviding a mandatory disclosure on his voteregistration card of the fact that he registered as aDemocrat in FL.

Dunn is a grown up man, a collegegraduate, who ran for second most important position lthe state. What is he saying in his pleadings? Is hesaying that he did not understand the mearn.nq of theword "State"? He did not understand the meaning of thewords "Political Party"? It did not state politicalparty of Ca. It did not state don't feel out politicalparty in FL. It clearly stated that one needsprovide the state, where he registered before and partaffiliation.Incidently, he understood the meaning of the warparty, when he marked in paragraph 14 "Republicanparty". He understood the meaning of the word state inparagraph 5. So, what happened to him, when he reacheparagraph 16? He no longer understood simple English?He suddenly suffered severe brain lnJury betweeparagraph 14 on this simple form and paragraph 16?This shows how frivolous the motion is.

    1 P14 'li:C Dunn states that other nominators actuall2 signed the nomination and there was no fraud there.3 First of all that 1S not evident on the pleadings.4 Additionally, even if other nominators really signe5 the nomination and fraud was not committed there,6 does not negate the fact that fraud was committed i7 relation to Mr. and Mrs Linton, who are stating that8 they did not sign the nomination.9 ~D OF THE MOTION IS TOTALLY FRIVOLOUS1Q What Dunn rs doing in paragraph 0 presents the sam11 twisted logic, whereby he simply throws out the all the12 causes of action relating to fraud, elections fraud,13 voter fraud, nomination fraud. He arbitrarily an14 unilaterally decides that the complaint will be limite15 only to the first cause of action, Elections16 and he states that elections contest includes onl17 section 16101 of the code. Yet again, the complaint18 includes multiple causes of action, not only elections19 contest, therefore the argument 1n S [ 0 1S of no value20 and frivolous.21 ~ E IS FRIVOLUS22 paragraph E is frivolous, as it simply rehashes pri.o23 paragraphs and claims that under CCP 438(c) the action24 is moot and no longer asserts the causes of action25 under which relief can be granted. As state26 previously, Taitz spent $40,000 of her own savings an27 over $10,000 donated by her supporters to run against28 the candidate I who was committing fraud. While this

    12 Defense refers In it's motion only to Dunn's

    1 point might be moot for Dunn, it ls clearly not moot2 for Taitz. additionally, secretary of State of Ca has3 announced that she is running for Congress, which means4 that the position will be open. Either injunctive5 relief or award of damages or both will be proper. As6 stated previously, Dunn conveniently talks only about7 elections contest in ~E, though this complaint contains8 other causes of action, not only elections contest.9 R. FACTUAL BACKGROUND BY THE DEFENSE CONTAINS A

For this16 reason alone motion cannot possibly be granted as T17 registration lS a disputed fact, that needs to18 resolved at trial. Additionally, whether Dunn committe19 fraud by not disclosing his FL registration, is to be20 determined at trial.21 S. THE ONLY RULING THAT CAN BE ~E ON THE22 PLEADINGS, IS THAT THE DEFENDANT INDEED COMMITTED

    FRAUD.2324 While the defense lS seeking a decision on the2526

    pleadings, the only decision that can be made, is thatthe defendant indeed committed fraud. The defendantdoes not provide any evidence that would contradict thefact that he registered in two other states and teat he

    1 did not include this information In the require2 mandatory disclosure section of his voter registratio3 card. He did not negate the fact that he contacted the4 registrar In FL and asked to delete from the data base5 his voter registration from FL. He is just say i.nq that6 his FL registration was no longer good. His7 impossibility to vote In FL does not negate his frame8 of mind and actions.

BECAUSE7 THE CERTIFICATION TELLS US THAT THE NUMBER OF VOTES, WHETHER8 THEy'RE COMMITTED WHETHER THEy'RE OBTAINED WITH FRAUD OR9 NOT, ARE X, Y AND Z, WHATEVER THEY ARE. AND PRESUMABLY

    10 YOU'RE WILLING TO ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE LESS OF THE VOTES THAN11 HE DOES. BUT THAT'S NOT CLEAR.12 OKAY. THEY CERTIFY IT. YOU STILL HAVE YOUR CAUSE13 OF ACTION TO ANNUL IT.

    _TAITZ[I]25 GUESs t FIRST, THE POINT TO MAKE IS THAT THE ELECTIONS CODE26 PROVIDES FOR THIS CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE SOMEBODY IS UNHAPPY OR

    CHRISTINE L. BELASCO, CSR 6189, RPR, CRR 181 FEELS THAT THE PERSON WHO WAS ELECTED DID NOT DESERVE TO BE2 ELECTED OR SOMEHOW INSTITUTED FRAUD INTO THE PROCESS.3 AND BASICALLY WHAT THE ELECTIONS CODE STIPULATES4 IS THAT THE CERTIFICATION GOES FORWARD, BUT THAT IF THE5 IF THE FRAUD OR WHATEVER IT IS IS PROVEN, THAT A NEW6 CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION IS ISSUED. SO THE CERTIFICATION IN7 THIS CASE CAN ABSOLUTELY GO FORWARD.8 BUT IF MS. TAITZ IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO PROVE UP HER9 CLAIMS, THAT A NEW CERTIFICATE OF ELECTION WOULD BE ISSUED

    10 TO THE, QUOTE, UNQUOTE, WINNER OF THE PRIMARY ELECTION. AND11 50 THAT IS UNDER THE ELECTIONS CODE. AND I THINK BASED ON12 THAT, MS. TAITZ DOESN'T MEET THE STANDARD FOR A TRO.13 IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS NO REPARABLE HARM TODAY14 AS WE ALL SIT HERE. AND, YOU KNOW. SHE DOES HAVE A LEGAL15 REMEDY THAT IS ADEQUATE TO HER, WHICH IS PROVIDED UNDER THE16 ELECTIONS CODE. IT IS DIVISION 16 WHICH IS ENTITLED17 "ELECTION CONTESTS."18 AND THIRD, I GUESS SHE HASN'T SHOWN A REASONABLE19 PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS ON THE MERITS OF HER UNDERLYING20 ELECTION CONTEST. SO BASED ON THOSE THREE REASONS AND BASED21 ON WHAT IS PROVIDED IN THE ELECTIONS CODE t I THINK THAT THE22 TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER TODAY SHOULD BE DENIED.23 AND, IN ADDITION, I WILL SAY THAT SHE IS ASKING24 IT APPEARS THAT SHE IS ASKING MR. DUNN TO STOP TALLYING THE25 VOTES. SO WE DON'T HAVE THE REGISTRARS OF VOTERS FROM EACH26 COUNTY HERE TODAY. AND WE DON'T HAVE THE SECRETARY OF STATE

    11 __ TAITZ[1]THERE MAY BE OTHER SECTIONS. I TRIED TO FIND12 THEM. I COULDN'T FIND THEM. YOUR CITATION, THOUGH, TO 4413 IS FOR THE APPELLATE COURTS AND THE COURT OF APPEAL -- AND14 THE SUPREME COURT. AND I AM NOT -- THOSE RULES DON'T APPLY15 TO ME. I AM NOT THERE. THANK GOODNESS.16 SO -- AND FURTHER, I DO HAVE A PROBLEM ORDERING17 SOMEBODY NOT TO DO SOMETHING IF I DON'T HAVE JURISDICTION18 OVER THEM. YOUR LAWSUIT IS AGAINST MR. DUNN. I CAN ORDER19 HIM TO CERTIFY IT, I GUESS. BUT I AM NOT SURE THAT I CAN20 ISSUE THE ORDER YOU WANT, TO STAY THE REGISTRATION BY THE21 COUNTY REGISTRARS.22 I THINK IF I SEND AN ORDER TO THE COUNTY OF23 REGISTRARS SAYING DO NOT DO THAT, THEY WILL SAY WHO ARE YOU24 AND WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT NOT TO DO. AND I25 AGREE. I AM NOT SURE I HAVE ANY JURISDICTION FOR THE26 TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER.

    CHRISTINE L. BELASCO, CSR 6189, RPR, CRR 231 IN OTHER WORDS, YOU WANT ME TO RESTRAIN THE COUNTY2 FROM DOING SOMETHING, THE REGISTRARS OF 50 COUNTIES FROM3 DOING SOMETHING. I NEED JURISDICTION OVER THEM BEFORE I CAN4 DO THAT. SO IN LIGHT OF THAT, I AM GOING TO DENY YOUR5 EX PARTE APPLICATION. IF YOU -- THERE ARE OTHER6 ALTERNATIVES, BUT I AM DENYING THE EX PARTE APPLICATION THAT7 YOU SET FOR HEARING.8 MR. HILDRETH, WOULD YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THAT.9 MS. TAITZ: MAY I RESPOND, YOUR HONOR? YOUR HONOR, MAY

    10 I RESPOND TO THIS?11 THE COURT: NO. I'VE RULED. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.12 MR. HILDRETH: THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR.1314
