Well this part is pretty much the system that is in place right now. Right? Dominion machines count the votes and disputes and mail in ballots are evaluated by reps from both parties. Do you think there would be any less complaining about the system that you propose and the system that is in place right now?
You're talking about something different, I think. You're talking about the observers in the room, right? All those people do is watch the workers process ballots. They're not allowed to actually get involved.
Isn't that kind of what happens? Maybe not by computer but if their is a question on a signature multiple people look at it.
Exactly. I do mail in ballots. Each ballot is specify to the county I live and also to the city I live in.
But who are the "multiple people"? I don't think that decision should be entirely put into the hands of people who might oppose my beliefs. I think my side should get fair representation there.
I don't know how it works in every state, but I think signatures are usually verified, before the inner envelopes are opened, by partisans from each party.
We need to sign in at the polling place and a poll worker checks it. I always expect them to question it.
I don't bother trying to pen a legitimate signature anymore. I just draw a little swirl with the electronic pen and call it a day. There's no way the signature on my ID is remotely close to what I put down when I voted.
I think this was the intent all along. That, and staying out of jail.
My guess is the same day Biden has his inauguration, Trump holds a rally in Florida announcing the start of his 2024 campaign for President. He will continue his rallies, maintain claims he’s the legit President and the county is overrun with fraud. He will harass Biden in everything he does and make the divide in the country even worse than it already is.
You do understand that secret balloting is a fundamental premise of free elections. At some point, the signature needs to be separated from the ballot.
Sorry - was trying to get a more concrete answer/link but it looks like Powell is looking to appeal her four cases directly to the Supreme Court bypassing the lower courts. She’s seeking a Writ of Mandamus.
Since the Trump campaign distanced themselves from Powell, anyone know who is paying her fee these days?
Donations - she set up a 501c4 to investigate election fraud (Legal Defense Fund for the American Republic I think is the name). This thing is basically a racket to earn money as honestly her legal filings are so bad she probably has some law schools student doing all the work for free. I haven’t seen anything this bad in my 15+ years practicing law.
The last I saw, the fund she was using did not qualify as a 501(c)(3) and she was asking donors to write checks directly payable to her law firm.
Before we go off creating huge bureaucracies that would slow down elections and cost 10s of billions of dollars, shouldn’t there be some evidence of voter fraud?
The word district was misspelled twice on the freaking title/headline of the filing in Michigan. This is so embarrassing for a lot of people.
You think any of them will actually get that far? Or care that none of it supports their fever dreams?
This is what happens in Florida already
Based on their actions so far, 50% of the Republican House caucus seems like they'd be down.
100% of Republicans voting to overturn the election would be a disaster for the country, but will do nothing to change election results.
I didn't know you were a lawyer. Shoot, as much time as I've spent here the last 4 years maybe I'm a lawyer too since it seems like everyone here are lawyers.
There were two cases in Wisconsin in which the court allowed the Trump/GOP side to actually present evidence. A case in federal court was set for an evidentiary hearing on Thursday, with both sides having filed witness lists and the Court allowing them to present their evidence. They came to an agreement on stipulated facts, so no evidence was taken, but the Court's (fantastic) written opinion (released yesterday) is based on facts and evidence as well as law (he found that he had Article III standing to consider the claims in that case.) There was also a case before the Wisconsin Supreme Court about 2 weeks ago that was remanded to state court for presentation of evidence. The State Court dismissed the case late last week, with specific findings of fact. That decision was appealed to the State Supreme Court which heard argument yesterday (https://wiseye.org/2020/12/12/wisconsin-supreme-court-oral-argument-donald-j-trump-v-joseph-r-biden/) I'm thankful for these two cases in our state because they weren't dismissed out of hand based on a pleading defect or standing, but actually gave these clowns an opportunity to present their evidence in Court.
