Work & Deliverables
Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN) is a project designed to provide election officials with pro bono legal help in response to the increasing wave in harassments, threats, and state laws subjecting them to criminal penalties for performing their jobs.
EOLDN has received a request for legal assistance from an election official in California. The request reports dealing with a former election official who has received a demand letter alleging defamation.
We are looking for an attorney interested in offering guidance and speaking with the election official. Defamation experience is required. If interested, we will provide additional request details.
