Judge Nap: As a Judge You Bend Over Backwards to Allow a Person to Vote Unless You Think They Are Deceiving You

‘If you read the rules literally, they demand literal compliance but if you read the interpretation of the rules by judges, they say, be rational’

EXCERPT:

NAPOLITANO: "If you read the rules literally, they demand literal compliance but if you read the interpretation of the rules by judges, they say, be rational. Be fair. Because people have the right to vote. I myself in New Jersey, on many instances was the judge — in a prosperous and populace county. On election day, that was my assignment. You bend over backwards to find a way to justify the person to vote unless you think they are deceiving you. Again, take that and multiply it thousands of times. That’s what they are confronted with."
