Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[The d]efendants argue that [the p]laintiffs' allegations that the DRE voting machines are vulnerable to hacking and are 'presumed to be compromised' convey only a speculative, generalized fear, thus falling short of establishing a concrete injury. These arguments are unavailing. For one, [the p]laintiffs have alleged that the DRE voting system was actually accessed or hacked multiple times already - albeit by cybersecurity experts who reported the system's vulnerabilities to state authorities, as opposed to someone with nefarious purposes.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Heindel v. Andino“Donna Price 'cast her vote on a DRE in the 2016 General Election,' and '[w]ithout the intervention of this [c]ourt, Price will be compelled to choose between relinquishing her right to vote and acquiescing to cast her vote under a system that violates her right to vote in absolute secrecy and have her vote accurately counted'... 'DREs produce neither a paper trail nor any other means by which the records of votes cast can be audited.' [Curling Complaint, Doc. 70 ¶ 16].”
