A vertical photo along Lake Superior's icy shores. In the foreground, ice covered rocks for a u-shaped channel, revealing small boulders surrounded by small red rocks. Ice covered rocks extend towards a small island. The island is completely covered in ice, with several spindly pine trees growing from the center. Near the center of the island, two root beer colored ice formations are formed by water seeping out of the island. Above the island, the sky is filled with gray clouds, showing slight signs of gold sunlight.

A California sheriff who seized 650k ballots in an attempt to challenge last year’s redistricting referendum argued that a pro-voting group challenging the seizure didn’t have standing to sue, citing a quote from a landmark case. The problem? That quote “appears nowhere in the opinion.”

California sheriff used ‘non-existent’ quotes in legal defense of ballot seizures
Such non-existent quotes can be the result of lawyers using artificial intelligence to help draft their arguments — though it’s unclear how they wound up in Bianco’s brief.
