It appears that the law firm of Lathrop & Gage filed a lawsuit on December 15, 2008 in circuit court against Teresa Collins (a republican who was Johnson County Auditor for a few months in 2007 until the recount reinstated Democrat Kay Dolan Reynolds) and Lynn Stoppy (r), the current Johnson County Prosecuting Attorney.
