Just “user error”...
Oh the race card...that’s original...
Those Dem minorities have to be the dumbest bunch of pinheads on the planet. EVERYTHING causes them strife in regards to voting. I’m surprised they even know where their precincts are.
Immediately countersue that the Dems have lied about Republicans wanting to starve old people, something the Left has been claiming for 40 years.
And Americans fighting to take America back.
In their filings defending a suit from Sanders supporters, DNC lawyers have claimed that yes they rigged it and that Sanders supporters SHOULD HAVE KNOWN IT WAS RIGGED FROM THE VERY START.
That’s their actual defense to the lawsuit.
I predict here that this lawsuit filed by the DNC will be withdrawn before discovery is permitted.
And the same UNIPARTY planting the same seeds for a future revolt.
It appears that the truly STUPID Republican National Committee entered into a Consent Decree that essentially said they couldn’t accuse the Democrats of doing what everyone now knows that Democrats do — CHEAT IN ELECTIONS.
Their defense could be: “Hey, we haven’t spent any of the money he raised for us on his campaign!” ;-)
From the Democrat’s filing:
Defendant Republican National Committee (“RNC”) has violated the Final Consent Decree entered in Democratic Nat’l Comm. v. Republican Nat’l Comm., No. 81-cv-3876 (DRD) (Nov. 1, 1982) (“1982 Consent Decree”), as modified by order of this Court on July 27, 1987 (“1987 Consent Decree”), and again on December 1, 2009 (“2009 Consent Decree”) (collectively the “Consent Decree” or “Decree”), by supporting and enabling the efforts of the Republican candidate for President, Donald J. Trump, as well as his campaign and advisors, to intimidate and discourage minority voters from voting in the 2016 Presidential Election. Trump has falsely and repeatedly told his supporters that the November 8 election will be “rigged” based upon fabricated claims of voter fraud in “certain areas” or “certain sections” of key states. Unsurprisingly, those “certain areas” are exclusively communities in which large minority voting populations reside. Notwithstanding that no evidence of such fraud actually exists, Trump has encouraged his supporters to do whatever it takes to stop it—“You’ve got to get everybody to go out and watch . . . and when [I] say ‘watch,’ you know what I’m talking about, right?”—and has been actively organizing “election observers” to monitor polling stations in “certain areas.” Trump has even encouraged his “watchers” to act like vigilante law enforcement officers.
Although certain RNC officials have attempted to distance themselves from some of the Trump campaign’s more recent statements, there is now ample evidence that Trump has enjoyed the direct and tacit support of the RNC in its “ballot security” endeavors, including the RNC’s collaboration on efforts to prevent this supposed “rigging” and “voter fraud.” In a rally in Denver, Colorado, on August 3, 2016, Trump’s vice presidential running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, admitted that the RNC was directly coordinating with the Trump campaign on “ballot integrity” initiatives, stating that “the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee are working very very closely with state governments and secretaries of states all over the country to ensure ballot integrity.” 8-3 Replay: Pence Denver Rally Town Hall, TrumpTube.tv, http://trumptube.tv/donald-trump-rally-speech-video/video/pence-live-stream-town-hall-8-3-16/, at 16:22-37 (last accessed Oct. 26, 2016). Following the third presidential debate, Trump’s campaign manager told a reporter that the campaign was working to combat purported voter fraud by “actively working with the national committee, the official party, and campaign lawyers to monitor precincts around the country.” These efforts are directly funded by the RNC through its joint fundraising committee established “to elect Republicans up and down the ballot,” see Certification of Angelo J. Genova, Esq. (hereinafter “Genova Cert.”) at Ex. 1 (RNC & Trump Campaign Announce Agreements, GOP.com, May 17, 2016), and specifically to fund the Trump campaign, see Genova Cert. at Ex. 2 (Statement of Organization, Trump Make America Great Again Committee, FEC-1074541, May 25, 2016). The RNC’s support of Trump’s efforts to recruit “watchers” who are intended to intimidate voters at their polling places violates this Court’s Consent Decree as modified in 2009, which explicitly forbid the RNC from engaging in so-called “ballot security” measures directly, indirectly, or through its agents or employees. See Genova Cert. at Ex. 20 & 22 (1982 and 2009 Consent Decrees) The RNC’s conduct also violates the Consent Decree under well settled law prohibiting defendants from evading court orders by acting in concert with third parties. See, e.g., Roe v. Operation Rescue, 919 F.2d 857, 871 (3d Cir. 1990) (“The law does not permit the instigator of contemptuous conduct to absolve himself of contempt liability by leaving the physical performance of the forbidden conduct to others.”).
Accordingly, Plaintiff Democratic National Committee (“DNC”) respectfully moves for an order directing Defendant RNC to show cause why the RNC should not be held in civil contempt for violating the Consent Decree entered in this action, as modified, and why sanctions should not issue as a result of those violations.
Plaintiff also respectfully requests expedited treatment of this matter. The election will take place in less than two weeks, and early voting is already underway in many states—including New Jersey, where early voting began on September 24. Meanwhile, Defendants’ ongoing violation of this Court’s Consent Decree will continue unabated until this Court acts.
Maybe they aren’t convinced they are winning. The ABC reporter was positively giddy that Trump’s Hollywood star was smashed by a left wing nut job.
Yes, the First Amendment will be the first to fall.
That will prohibit any literary defense of the Second.
But you knew that...
So dissolve the RNC,reform as a different organization, poof no more consent decree.
This is actually good news. Its great news. It means that Trump’s statements of rigged elections have traction and are resonating. They are also accurate.
If it was backfiring, the left would be laughing at it and goading Trump to say it more. Now they want Trump to stop it!
All that Reince Preibus has to do is point to the voting machine ‘calibration issues’ and the Project Veritas videos and tell the DNC to shove it.
The pretrial interrogatories for the Dems will be devastating. Bring in Lil Debbie and the rigged primaries, rigged Soros voting machines, and the DMA (Democrat Media Axis) disinformation machine. Fire up the popcorn.
Yet 100% of them accurately voted for Obama in some precincts, and upward of 100% in other precincts...
Sue? What are the damages??
nothing to do with “law” but everything to do with controlling the narrative on CNN
