They want to THROW OUT millions of ballots that were cast by American voters under the rules for the state at the time of the election. The time to appeal was before the election, not after you find out that you've lost.
Those states could probably be asked to hold a new election between now and 1/20. If not, it’s up to their legislators. Let’s see what the Supreme Court decides.
What's the point of a new election? If Donald Trump doesn't win it will be considered rigged.
I think the point is some states do a better job implementing and enforcing Democratic Republic better than others when it comes to determining our one President. Let’s see if this claim has merit.
I'm not smart enough on each individual court case, but holistically I feel like claims of fraud, mistakes or failed procedures are not being adequately heard out. I don't know if this is the lower courts wanting nothing to do with these cases and just punting or if the system needs to be reevaluated.
Multiple election officials from both parties have stated that this election was secure and there is no evidence of it being rigged. One of the largest differences between states is deciding who gets to vote. In Florida, felons have had a hard time voting, while in some states they can vote from prison. Thanks to Florida's implementation of strict rules restoring voting rights to felons, we have Bush in 2000 and the Iraq disaster. Too late for a do-over.
You've mentioned a number of allegations above. Quick question: were any of those items introduced, with actual evidence, in any of the court filings?
From my understanding some of those were filed, but never presented which actually helps the appeal process.
Okay. Millions disagree on whether our election was compromised. Let those state legislators decide. I have faith in our Supreme Court.
Are you saying lawyers didn't present evidence so they could hold it until they appealed their case?
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think they were afforded the opportunity to. Like GA yesterday.
I guess we still aren't going to give us any details, but let's start with how PA screwed up. Would love to know.
They made a change to their absentee voting laws that required a constitutional amendment and then they never amended their constitution.
Which change is this?They made a change to their absentee voting laws that required a constitutional amendment and then they never amended their constitution.
Yes, I was wrong:
That's not going to happen. Courts will rule that it's too late. The appropriate time to seek judicial relief was prior to the election, not after.
Ok, we will see if SCOTUS agrees. Not following your own commonwealth's constitution seems like a pretty big deal to me.
Their claim doesn't even make sense.
I keep hearing this from the right. What does transparency in our election process mean? You can read how the election process works from start to finish. I learned a lot I didn’t know about it this cycle. You can volunteer to actually participate in the election process (a big THANK YOU to these people). I voted by mail and I could check my barcode to see which step in the process my ballot was at, which seems pretty transparent to me
Funny isn't it that only the swing states President Trump lost are the ones who aren't doing a good job.
I think we need to get away from the states using a two machine vote tabulation process. Vote on machine A which prints a QR code to scan in on Machine B. It's unnecessary. Especially when user error and glitches cause problems.
No idea what a two voting machine process is or which states use them, but for all the talk of Dominion and voting machines, the hand recounts that have been done thus far have shown the voting machines are accurate.
The recount is accurate when you recount only the QR codes coming from the voting machine into the tabulation machine. Dominion machines have an adjudication process where workers can see ballot images and determine who that vote is actually for. This is an unsecure process. A true audit would look at the paper ballot vs the end result of the QR code entered.
There is a dispute as to whether or not it required an amendment and the change was made long before the election but they chose to challenge Act 77 weeks after the election was over. Now they're asking to throw out 2.5 million ballots cast by American citizens or just ignore the vote and appoint republican electors.They made a change to their absentee voting laws that required a constitutional amendment and then they never amended their constitution.
There were a lot of statistical firsts this year. Why anyone finds this odd is beyond me. There are a lot of reasons why 2020 is unique:
She was sitting right beside Rudy in all of the "hearings" and press conferences, neither wearing masks. Knowing what we do about how this spreads it would have been amazing if she didn't get Covid. I hope she recovers fully and quickly but man she was being reckless with her health and to those around her.
Link please? I’m seeing people claim crazy things like there are now 12 states joining the TX suit, etc but nothing is being reported anywhere (meaning under any news organization).
I'll post one when I find one. Heard it from a friend who said it was on Bannon's show.... which I know is not a source around here. I haven't heard more than those two states though.
