==National Clean Elections Lawsuit==
In 2007, Robert Schulz filed a federal lawsuit, with plaintiffs in all 50 states, claiming that electronic voting machines were inefficient means of counting citizens' votes, and calling for hand counts of paper ballots nationwide. The "National Clean Elections Lawsuit" was filed in federal court in New York in September 2007, and was served in all 50 states in early November 2007.〔(Montana's News Station ), retrieved November 9, 2007〕〔(We the People Foundation press release ), retrieved November 9, 2007〕〔Complaint, docket entry 1, Sept. 12, 2007, ''Robert Schulz, et al. v. State of New York, et al.'', case no. 07-cv-00943, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.〕
The Constitution Party noted that several of its state chairs were plaintiffs in the lawsuit.〔(Constitution Party homepage ), retrieved November 9, 2007〕
The District Court ultimately ruled against Schulz and the other plaintiffs, concluding that Schulz and his other litigators lacked standing to maintain the lawsuit.〔Decision, July 7, 2011, docket entry 383, ''Robert Schulz, et al. v. State of New York, et al.'', case no. 07-cv-00943, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York.〕
