Excellent point.

[umgud]

Demand a California recount.

Federal courts have zero jurisdiction over the state law of elections. This is outrageous it will be bitch slapped hard by the appellate court within hours!!
The really funny thing is that the only law that would have arguably applied is the “Voting Rights” act but that law unconstitutionally only applies to SOUTHERN STATES!!! Bwaaahhhhaaaa!!

[MarMema]

oh NO! Not Wayne county. I knew about the law but wow, never thought it would happen. And 59%.

I am laughing - thank you!

Looks like it.

[MarMema]

It’s state law.

Interesting point because wasn’t this the reason why the Supreme Court stepped in ruled in Florida in 2000.

Consistency and fairness — how can you recount only in counties that are favorable to one party or the other. And then, how can you insure that the count is truly accurate after the ballots have been handled over and over and over again.

[MarMema]

That’s what I think.

Federal courts have zero jurisdiction over the state law of elections.

They did in 2000, in practice if not in law.

Not that I think any of this recount crap is more than an exercise in fanning the flames of the hard-left constituency.

(b) The number of ballots to be recounted and the number of ballots issued on election day as shown on the poll list or the computer printout do not match and the difference is not explained to the satisfaction of the board of canvassers.

I think the rationale is “you only get to cheat once”.
Deos seem like this would call for a challenge or audit at least.

There is a politician in Las Vegas—Clark County who has come forward with evidence of voter fraud.

Go to thread 3501590 & read what he gathered in evidence.

[MarMema]

So my FRiend is this pissing you off greatly? Because I have been pretty PO’d for a few days now.

Agenda 21 would work out so well for all....

This evening I filed in federal court to protect the interests of the taxpayers of Michigan and stop @DrJillStein's frivolous recount.

Dingy, his minions and puppet-masters are behind it.

It’s more watching the train wreck unfold. There is utterly no chance of this changing things. This really was done to get the left all wee-wee’d up and make them even more hostile to Trump, if such a thing was possible.

I am asking the Court of Appeals to rule on the side of Michigan voters and end this frivolous recount.

[dirtboy]

They probably didn’t stuff enough ballots and now it’s too late to go back and stuff more.
