US Presidential Election 2020.

Over 100 Republican lawmakers and 17 state attorneys general are backing a lawsuit at the Supreme Court that seeks to overturn the election results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Meanwhile…

Via Fox News:

House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Ken Buck on Friday are leading a group of 18 lawmakers in sponsoring a resolution in the House that backs efforts by President Trump regarding voter fraud.

The president’s most recent action includes a request to join the Texas lawsuit aiming to block four states’ presidential electors from casting their votes

The one-page resolution includes no “whereas” statements as most resolutions do. It moves directly to the resolution supporting the president and also condemns voter fraud, which Trump and his allies have said was more likely to happen in the presidential election because of significant expansions of mail-in voting.

    Why this Texas ‘election fraud’ lawsuit is a total and complete joke.

    Texas has zero legal standing to challenge how other states conduct their elections. Elections — including ones for federal offices — are solely the purview of individual states. States set the hour that their polling places will be open. They decide whether or not a voter is required to show a form of legal identification in order to cast the ballot. They decide on what dates their primaries will be held. And yes, they get to decide — as many states did in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic — whether or not to expand mail-in balloting.

    Another bottle of smoke from the grifter in chief.

    39 days.

        What they call ‘County Canvassers’ – are they the equivalent of Count / Election Officials here?

        Something else, any idea of the total available to vote and total valid poll there in Wayne County?

    I really think this attempt will succeed Bodger, where every single other attempt has been a pathetic, comic failure.

    Really think this time it’ll be different.

      1. Junkface

        Evidence!!

        That’s the key thing that they have not yet produced in any courts.

        What an embarrassing time to be an American. Republican politicians have no shame.

          1. ReproBertie

            Oh, WAR in capital letters! Must be serious.

            This is based on more than just the claims by the former intelligence activist that China monitored and manipulated the elections, right? I mean, they do have some actual evidence, right?

          2. Junkface

            I don’t think its China’s style to risk something like this. They are more likely to heavily bribe people with links to Wall street top executives, or just bribe lobbyists with massive bundles of cash.

          3. Bodger

            A month before the election, State Street Capital (owners of Dominion Voting Systems whose machines were allegedly compromised) received $400 million from USB Securities, a Switzerland-based, Chinese investment bank, 75% owned by the Chinese government.

          4. v AKA Frilly Keane

            And that Bodger

            is called Influence

            In fact that suggests two different forms
            Fee influence
            and Dominant Influence

            All either of them needed btw
            from a Risk Management side
            is inform the users of the service(s)
            Both the Polling and Count / Returning Officers ahead of engaging the Company
            AND
            the Voters using the devices

            simple disclosures

            And I would add that I think the Candidates themselves should have been informed

          5. v AKA Frilly Keane

            they’d all have to be at it

            Look at all the different Secretaries of State for the State of …..
            all Party – one or the other, members
            well the ones I checked anyway

            Lads, I’m telling ye
            the two Presidential Candidates and their Campaigns aren’t the main problem and weakness in this last round of American elections

            They’re not helping, but something else is
            well many something elses are the cause of the problems
            and its not just in this round of elections either

        1. ReproBertie

          Be fair Junkface. Some Republican members of Congress have not attached their names to this, preferring to put the law above loyalty to a wannabe despot.

          1. Bodger

            I think they have solid evidence that the machines were rigged. They expected it, saw it happen in real time and what we are seeing now is an extension of the sting whereby everyone who signs off on these elections is incriminated. Swamp draining.

          2. Cian

            I think they have solid evidence that the machines were rigged.

            LOL.

            They have done a manual recount of some 5 million ballots in Georgia and there is no discrepancy between the machine count and the hand count.

          3. Bodger

            There are a few strands to the fraud (including ballot dumping) and in Georgia’s case Republicans are seeking a signature audit not just a hand recount.

          4. Cian

            Bodger: I think they have solid evidence that the machines were rigged.
            Cian: no evidence of machine fraud provided
            Bodger: There are a few strands to the fraud (including ballot dumping) and in Georgia’s case Republicans are seeking a signature audit not just a hand recount.
            Cian: ????

          5. Nigel

            But there are no grounds for suspecting any sort of fraud in respect of the signatures, just wild accusations.

      1. Daisy Chainsaw

        I wonder if any of the Trumpists can explain how one bit of a person’s ballot can be deemed illegal, and not the rest of it.

        Or am I asking too much of them?

      2. v AKA Frilly Keane

        and that’s the weakest part of Trump’s challenge

        IMO anyway

        although, I’ll admit to looking forward hearing what the Chinese lads were at

        hopefully it’ll bring a whole new meaning to getting your Chinese Order delivered

        1. Nigel

          They’re making money by investing in companies that manufacture and sell things. Anything else will require proof.

          1. v AKA Frilly Keane

            that’s not all they’re investing in

            they’re starting to get fond of buying debts

            well, they always were, but more corporate/ mezzanine finance – big seven barrel tickets

            the recent enhancing of legal protection for “unsecured” and high risk secured small ticket Creditors
            Plus some very nice capital allowances n’ the like
            would have you wonder will we have new neighbours down there in Dublin 1

          2. v AKA Frilly Keane

            I don’t think the Voters are the problem either

            And what I’ve been trapping from all the goings on since Election Day

            that’s been pooling up, brewing and now stewing away into a maybe something

            is that America – all of it,
            treats its voters like they’re a nuisance
            and that this whole We the People was a con from the start
            whenever
            17something

            saying tis Voter Fraud ‘s fault
            is IMO anyway Nidgie
            Unfair

          3. Nigel

            What I see is the same side that engages in voter supression, the same side that refused to secure the voting machines, is now the side screaming fraud with no evidence whatsoever. I think that makes it clear what the problem is.

  3. SOQ

    There are videos flying around of people doing the most shocking things with that Dominion software- things that the most bog basic document management work station would not let you do.

    In this case I don’t know and neither does anyone else. Does one state have the right to impose what they consider to be appropriate standards on another? Well if it is going to affect the outcome of a general election then they probably do.

    The question is- how do they prove those differing standards affected the result? Texas rejected this software on security grounds before so I expect that is going to be at least part of their case.

    1. ReproBertie

      “Does one state have the right to impose what they consider to be appropriate standards on another?”

      Nope.

    2. Nigel

      I hope you’re allowing for deception and fakery and context, SOQ. Would hate to see you being credulous.

    3. Cian

      All Moot.

      They have done a manual recount of some 5 million ballots in Georgia and there is no discrepancy between the machine count and the hand count.

  4. Junkface

    It’s all fun and games until some lunatic opens fire with an AR15 on a crowd of people because he thinks the election was stolen by communists.

    This will have consequences

  5. ReproBertie

    Milwaukee County Circuit Court has just this second kicked out Trump’s Wisconsin lawsuit.

    “No credible evidence of any misconduct or widespread fraud.”

    Another victory for the truth over the garbage touted as “evidence” by the only US President to lose the popular vote twice.

  6. ReproBertie

    I see the states of “New California” and “New Nevada” have attempted to join the Texas lawsuit.

    All the best people.

          1. anolderman

            As a neutral its interesting to see those videos. Long time ago I had a role with touch screen tech & surveys at a govt level. I am comfortable that the suggestions of hacking can be achieved. If I were american I would want my vote to be safe. @Bodger thank you for your contribution I regret the vicious tone by which you are addressed. Please keep going. Free speech is very important and its evaluation is also important. Pig ignorance as a national trait has never been of benefit.

          2. ReproBertie

            “I am comfortable that the suggestions of hacking can be achieved.”
            And yet those responsible for the security of the elections say it was the most secure election in US history and there is no evidence of any fraud or hacking or general election shenanigans.

          3. V AKA Frilly Keane

            Well
            From what I’ve seen & established
            those responsible for the security of the elections
            Are the problem

            Zero competence
            Or regard for managing the electorate’s votes
            Or for the integrity of the count

            Absolutely no way should Dominion ever have been considered to supply services to the respective polling stations and count centres – particularly where ever a Democrat candidate was on the ballot
            Any Ballot
            In any of the races

            The Conflict of Interest present wasn’t even disclosed to who ever signed off the services engagement letter / Contract, or
            The voters themselves
            Or the Candidates – unless all the Democrats selected to run already knew that the current leader of their party had a direct line relationship to an individual with a financial interest in Domain

            Well then
            *Absolutely corruption was present

            Because those Democrat candidates all had what is effectively ‘Insider Information’ that their respective opponents didn’t have

            Tis rotten and utterly incompetent
            And from the biggest – alleged afaic btw – Democracy in the World

            Like t’was said above
            those responsible for the security of the elections

            IMO are the ones that have an awful lot to answer for

            The very same treat the voters like they’re a nuisance

            * whether that corruptive presence amounted to anything is a different arguement entirely

      1. v AKA Frilly Keane

        Its going ta unfold tonight Lads
        The biggest story of our lifetimes

        I’m going to win the 200 million plus in the yoyo millions lotto
        I can feel it
        and I’m going to win it by a lot ┗|`O′|┛

          1. anolderman

            @ReproBertie And yet those responsible for the security of the elections say it was the most secure election in US history. Well they would be the FIRST to deny as they get shown up if this pans out. Some reputational risk there. I’m reminded of NO the IMF is not at the gate & of course there will be a safe landing. Life is full of bad things that happen – denial of such things is always a bad policy to follow. Face the music & dance!

          2. Nigel

            There’s plenty of credible evidence and opinion that the system is not secure. What’s lacking is any evidence that hacking or fraud actually occurred.
