The plaintiff, with out any legal training, lacked the skills to address McDermott's attorney's motion to dismiss.

There was convincing evidence the billing dates did not match, the time frames between when the vehicle was leased and billed do not match.

The majority of the appointee's on this board do business in Lake County, with some of them doing business, at one time or another, for various Hammond government entities.

Someone video taped a previous McDermott complaint brought before the same Lake County Election Board.

It was obvious McDermott violated Election laws. Many believe by controlling contracts disbursed to the board members, along with long standing personal relationships, McDermott controls the outcome.

The plaintiff, Nauracy didn't have a chance.
