For the record, following my criteria as listed above there is still no listing of any contest official having been found at fault and been successfully sued.
That is still no reason not to purchase insurance that is available to all officials. You don't want to be the first.

Have your legal beagles do a thourough search of cases at the state, circuit and lower court levels. They will find the cases most of which have been settled, a few lost, many lost then overturned. There have been many "firsts".
Have them call your insurors and have them point to the cases, they sure as hell know and if they cannot, ask them why your rates are so high for a nonexistent liability.
It's not the damages awarded that will sink you, it is the cost of defending yourself, your org, your assets and your reputation (future income).
