Lizard People: Election recounts lawyered up, ready to go

The Seattle Post Intelligencer published an article by Joel Connelly, a long-time political reporter in Seattle, who described a recent book signing event in Perkins Coie's offices for the book "This is NOT Florida:  How Al Franken Won the Minnesota Senate Recount." The event, which featured Jay Weiner, the author of the book, underscored lessons for the current 2010 election cycle.  Perkins Coie partner Kevin Hamilton's and Weiner 's presentation is summarized by Connelly in the article.  Connelly frequently quotes both speakers, noting that Perkins Coie is a pioneering firm in election litigation.
