The unanimous opinion by the three-judge panel was authored by a Trump appointee.  The other two judges were appointed by George W. Bush.

The Pennsylvania case in question is really absurd. It's not a supposed vote fraud one, but some nonsense about application of equal treatments because some counties in Pennsylvania had a longer ballot curing time frame than others. Two voters in counties that had a shorter time frame were not able to cure their ballots, and rather than sue their counties to extend that, they're suing the state and arguing that this discrepancy means the entire election needs to be nullified.

I knew his case was flimsy but this is bordering on criminally insane.

One of Trump's standard business moves has been to file harassing lawsuits and often get people to settle out of court rather than go to the time and expense of fighting them.  But that's simply not going to work for the election.  He's like a poker player who constantly bluffs and gets away with it against weak competition, but against a stronger opponent he's got a busted hand and his bluff has been called.

Erick Erickson absolutely lays into all the Trump supporters who still believe the election was stolen.  Very much worth reading!

This is an excellent article by an AJC columnist about the crazy conspiracy theories going around in Georgia: https://www.ajc.com/opinion/columnists/opinion-crazy-is-as-crazy-does-in-georgia-post-election-dystopia/ZBHROY4IOFAYTGKV3QWJYVQ3GI/.  The money line:

"Elected Republicans remind me of bank customers being held at gunpoint as an increasingly maniacal bandit demands that his hostages tell him he’s good-looking and smart."

This is an excellent statement by the Speaker, and I encourage everyone to read it.

Does anybody have the current lawsuit count of lost vs won cases for Trump post-election?

I believe it's currently 1-48.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/08/texas-sues-four-battleground-states-in-supreme-court-over-unlawful-election-results.html

Quote
Texas’ Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday announced a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the presidential election results in four key swing states that helped secure Joe Biden’s victory over President Donald Trump.

The lawsuit, which was filed directly to the Supreme Court, asserts that “unlawful election results” in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin and Michigan — all of which Biden won — should be declared unconstitutional.

The article notes that this challenge is very unlikely to succeed in the Supreme Court, but this does set the groundwork for Texas to secede from the USA (again). Out of all the stolen election and coup scenarios, I honestly did not expect 1860 redux to come up.

This is just insane.

If liberals were Machiavellian by nature, they would encourage Texas secession.  Covertly. 

I knew a guy from Texas in college who regularly boasted that Texas was the only state that had the right to secede from the Union (spoiler: it doesn't).  He was so obnoxious about it that a few of us decided to form an informal group called "Americans for Texas Secession", with its only principle being that we'd be happy to see Texas secede as long as it took him with it.

What does Trump mean when he talks about the signatures in Georgia?
When absentee ballots are processed, the signatures on the envelopes they arrive in are compared to the signatures on voter registration files. Only if there is a "match" is the ballot legitimate.

After matching, the envelopes are opened and the ballot itself is seperated from the envelope with the signatures to ensure voter secrecy.

Then the actual ballots are counted.

Trump wants to go back and rematch signatures, which is impossible since the ballots and the signatures are seperated after signature verification.

So basically, it is a completely ridiculous bad faith argument from Trump and his cronies. All they care about is making it seem like the election was fraudulent.
The signatures were not matched in accord with Georgia statute.

If large numbers of ballots were unlawfully accepted it could have affected the outcome of the election. Assuming ballots were fraudulently cast, the ballots would likely tilt one way. It would taint the result of the election, regardless whether you can identify the ballots.

You are the one making the bad faith argument:

You are arguing that even if it is determined that a crime was committed, that since we can not know who committed it, or what the effect of the crime was.



Show your work, Jim. SOS office says the process was the same as 2016 and 2018.

Second the above: provide evidence to back up the claim, or stop making it.

Also, the signature rejection rate in 2020 was similar to that in 2018.  Source

Trump loses at the Supreme Court, 9-0, no dissents:



I can't wait to see what Trump tweets about this.
