Attorney Bombach argued that voters who do not wish to be contacted can notify their party to that effect — drawing a pointed reply, “Do you realize you've just upended the ruling now?”, according to N12's live coverage. The exchange touches on the dispute over parties approaching voters; N12's report does not identify who delivered the retort.
As the High Court hearing on voter-data reporting continued on Wednesday morning, a sharp exchange erupted: Attorney Ilan Bombach argued that voters not wishing to be contacted can simply notify their party, drawing a retort from the court — “Do you realize you've just upended the ruling now?” according to N12's live coverage, which did not identify who made the comment. The exchange touches on the broader dispute over party contact with voters.
The hearing follows a sequence of developments: On Monday evening, the High Court issued a conditional order requiring parties to justify why they should not be prohibited from transmitting voter information on Election Day. Later that evening, the court began hearings on the petitions. Prior to that, on August 6, Bombach — Likud's legal adviser — called on Central Elections Committee chairman Justice Hanan Solberg to cancel a ruling barring party representatives from reporting who has voted, calling it erroneous, as The Zioneer reported according to N12's Daphna Liel.
The identity of the person who delivered the retort remains unidentified in the N12 report.
