Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

[ObsidianJones]

Except that's not what they're doing. They're arguing that illegal votes were cast, therefore throw out millions of Biden votes, and when asked to present evidence, they slink away, tail between their legs because there is no merit, its all a hissy fit thrown by whiny little babies.

I couldn't like this any more if I tried.

This is the M.O. of the Republican Party as long as I can remember. If you found a hint of one bad apple, destroy the tree as long as it's a variety of apple of which we do not approve.

The police department does not get to arrest everyone in an apartment building because they found that one tenant is a killer.

The Entire Hospital staff does not get written up for view from the accidental overdose death of one or even ten patients.

We don't ban Christianity even though this country has seen more Christian White Supremacy Terrorists than we have ever seen of any other culture or religion put together.

But hundreds of thousands of votes must be purged because I heard something from someone who told me "Yo, check this shit out, those leftist are at it again!!!".

Republicans do fraud.

Trump Supporter Admits Voter Fraud, Says She Voted Twice For President

The woman says that she is still on probation after being arrested for trying to vote for Trump twice in 2016.

Four votes. Millions must be undone to right the wrong of the 2016 election.

Republican voted twice on behest of a poll worker. Toss out North Carolina and give it to the Dems.

Man says he was able to cast two ballots

Richard Becht of Union County, North Carolina, revealed that he was forced to vote twice in the presidential election after there was no record of a ballot he cast on Halloween

The projection is draining because it's the same ole story with nothing new to add.

Nobody is (currently) trying to throw out ALL the votes just because some people voted fradulently. They're trying to throw out the fraudulent votes.
Making up lies makes you just as bad as you claim they are

From the Powell lawsuit posted earlier:

Additionally, incontrovertible evidence Board of Elections records demonstrates that at least 96,600 absentee ballots were requested and counted but were never recorded as being returned to county election boards by the voter. Thus, at a minimum, 96,600 votes must be disregarded. (See Attached hereto, Exh. 9, R. Ramsland Aff.).

and

Georgia law, (OCGA 21-5-552) provides for a contest of an election where: (1) Misconduct, fraud, or irregularity by any primary or election official or officials sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; . . . (3) When illegal votes have been received or legal votes rejected at the polls sufficient to change or place in doubt the result; (4) For any error in counting the votes or declaring the result of the primary or election, if such error would change the result; or (5) For any other cause which shows that another was the person legally nominated, elected, or eligible to compete in a run-off primary or election.

Can't do that after they tossed the envelopes into a shredder

 

[Trunkage]

Correct.

So that the Trump lawyers can claim that media bias ruined the court case. And ask for a redo or automatic overturn

That sounds like a conspiracy theory

Yes, that was Sidney Powell's lawsuit, a summary of which is in the post above yours.

Oh, that's it? I had found and started reading the actual thing, but then there were two misspellings of district in the first line, so I assumed I had accidentally opened a 5th grader's homework instead, got bored and stopped.

They say that the misspellings are a result of the OCR scanning that happens. Usually these things are physical deliveries, not just text files.

We were calling him a liar?

 

[Houseman]

Yes, you (plural) were calling every allegation of fraud malicious lies.

For example:

Trump and his team are liars, are frauds, and their "evidence" when presented to Judges who will jail them if they lie is withdrawn.

 

[Silvanus]

The entire election, frankly, in all the swing states should be overturned. And the legislatures should make sure that the electors are selected for Trump.

 

[Revnak]

*Escapist hates blank quotes*

Ok but that’s technically only the swing state votes for Biden getting thrown out all the others are getting represented

 

[Trunkage]

How many times has the Trump team turned up in court with little or false evidence?
That’s what Silent Pony is talking about
Maybe they have evidence this time. Maybe it’s wrong again. Maybe Pony is wrong. Or right. But it’s over 20 to nothing against Trump right now. So I get why Pony is saying this
Pretending they haven’t had case thrown out based on their evidence (or lack there of) is false.

I think it’s a bad assumption that it has less slaves today

snoop

Is what what the lawsuit says?

How many times has the Trump team turned up in court with little or false evidence?

Zero times. Being denied by a lower judge only means they get to appeal to a higher one.

 

[Avnger]

It's what the person who filed the lawsuit wishes for an overall outcome. I'd say semantic games were beneath you, but obviously they're not.

Zero times. Being denied by a lower judge only means they get to appeal to a higher one.

Your knowledge of the legal system seems to hover between "watched Law & Order a few times" and "sat through a mock trial once."

This might help a bit:
