Well, Wayne County Clerk successfully mooted the case by snatching all the named plaintiffs and moving up their appointments and giving them their CPLs before the hearing.
By a complete and astonishing coincidence, I'm sure, all 3 of
them had their appointments moved up on the very same day, 5 days after we filed the complaint
with the very same Wayne County Clerk.
Since they all got their CPLs or applications accepted - the judge reasoned they can't ask the Clerk to do anything more, and the advocacy groups do not have standing for mandamus relief.
Well crap. We did good for our named Plaintiffs, but everyone else will still be delayed and waiting interminably for the clerk to do her job now.
Assuming we get some more Wayne County residents who are stuck waiting for their appointments to happen, we're going to have to caption it John Doe and Jane Doe to stop these shenanigans.
