President Trump called the speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives twice during the past week to make an extraordinary request for help reversing his loss in the state, reflecting a broadening pressure campaign by the president and his allies to try to subvert the 2020 election result.
DISCUSS.
At what point can we describe what Trump is trying as an attempted coup d'etat? Recounts are one thing, factually baseless law suits another, but the attempt to simply legislate around the vote should be shocking and repellant to everyone.
This is incorrect
Oddly enough, the judges disagree with you, Kid.
Repeatedly.
This is also incorrect
The judges are stating that the evidence doesnt turn the state to Trump, not that fraud did not happen.
This was always about getting it to the federal courts.
You're full of shit, Kit. Your eyes are brown from the oozing.
Give me examples that contradict my claim.
Also, it's not
always about getting it to the federal courts." These cases have been in both federal and state courts from the start.
The federal cases may have always been intended to get to SCOTUS, but lack of evidence is problematic at any court level and you are not allowed to introduce evidence for the first time to them - they are not weighing the case, they are weighing the prior decision.
“It can be easy to blithely move on to the next case with a petition so obviously lacking, but this is sobering,” wrote Justice Brian Hagedorn of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. “Judicial acquiescence to such entreaties built on so flimsy a foundation would do indelible damage to every future election. . . . This is a dangerous path we are being asked to tread.”
In a detailed, 35-page decision, Judge James T. Russell of the Nevada District Court in Carson City vetted each claim of fraud and wrongdoing made by the Trump campaign in the state and found that none was supported by convincing proof. The campaign “did not prove under any standard of proof that illegal votes were cast and counted, or legal votes were not counted at all, due to voter fraud, nor in an amount equal to or greater than” Biden’s margin of victory, which was about 33,600 votes, Russell wrote.
Among its allegations, the campaign claimed that more than 61,000 people voted twice or from out-of-state.
In his ruling, Russell concurred with election officials and academic experts that there is no evidence for this, and specifically dismissed witness declarations that had been touted by the campaign, calling them “self-serving statements of little or no evidentiary value.”
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Judge Randall Warner of the Maricopa County Superior Court ruled Friday that he found “no misconduct, no fraud and no effect on the outcome of the election” in a suit brought by the Arizona Republican Party and its chairwoman, Kelli Ward.
