Ex-Trump lawyer Sidney Powell files typo-filled lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia
The Hill ^ | November 26, 2020 | Jordan Williams

President Trump and his allies have repeatedly alleged that the election was riddled with widespread voter fraud without providing any evidence.

Both of the cases filed by Powell were riddled with typographical issues.

How would this have worked and who would have done the scanning?

Would Sidney have submitted a paper document to the court that was then scanned through an OCR to create a PDF file? Or would Sidney have scanned it herself and submitted a PDF?

Apparently OCR can involve dialing in some settings to get an accurate scan with low errors. If the scanning was done by a clerk or worker at the court, there could have been errors made that were beyond Sidney’s control.

Some blurbs on OCR (optical character recognition) for those unfamiliar:

PDF docs looking fine on one computer and totally messed up on another is many times caused by using a non-standard font installed on the computer where it looks fine.

The remedy is to embed the font characteristics and glyph info inside the PDF itself, but that may balloon the size of the PDF, unless you provide the font to the user (then they install it themselves).

I have been assaulted by fascists. They caught me when I was alone, in Detroit, in the late 1960’s.

I let it pass. I did not mess with “learning to live with it.” I did not report it to “the authorities.”

I just let the pussies disappear from where I had more important matters in need of attention.

I hope that, helps you.

Sidney Powell is a gem. Her name came up now and then, in my little part of the world - and then out of sight for a while; but it stuck, when she came to the defense of Gen. Mike Flynn.

I read somewhere, here at FR, this morning, that the complaints may be amended. I expect that; and I expect additions to the complaints - because I expect at least a few more exhibits to develop.

She has three websites that I know of; they may interest:

I think that this first site, is older:

https://www.federalappeals.com/

More recent, or another avenue for her:

Another lying screed. Powell was never PDJT’s lawyer. She never submitted a bill or was under retainer. She was solely on her own.

Baghdad Bob would be ashamed of the article, which is actually worse than the Hillary’s headline. Boils down to “We were so devastated by a few obvious computer-caused typos (’Distrcct’ ... oh, the humanity!), that we didn’t, you know, READ the filing, but Powell has never presented an iota of evidence. Yeah...that’s the talking point, no evidence.”

I can’t even get Yahoo mail to render properly on Google Chrome. Shows up as tiny font.

How come every time someone goes against the FR “hive” mindset (that our side is perfect, can do absolutely no wrong and leaps tall buildings in a single bound), the “troll” allegations and personal insults start?

The errors being reported are NOT all due to PDF conversion - not that we even have any actual evidence there WAS conversion involved. In the Michigan filing, for example, here are some of the glaring errors being reported by DetroitNews.com (can’t post from there on FR, but you can go to the website and read this for yourself)..

- Rubingh’s (plaintiff) name is spelled incorrectly at one point in the court filing, which also mistakenly says the Board of State Canvassers certified Michigan’s results on March 23, instead of Nov. 23.

I worked in IT for 30+ years and know PDF and OCR engines well. OCR does not convert “Nov” to “March”. EVER, under any scenario.

Quit with the personal insults and troll allegations. Some of us want to win, and this type of bush league performance by our “elite” legal team is inadequate if our goal is to win. And commenting that it’s unacceptable to skip a basic proofread on documents this important does not make one a “troll” OR an “idiot”. Maybe YOU should go learn a little about OCR, so you’d learn that OCR NEVER converts “Nov” to “March” under ANY scenario. We also don’t even know for 100% certain there WAS any OCR involved. For God’s sake.

My hunch is that the courts will toss the suits for want of standing. She’s not a candidate. Voters do not have a stake in the outcome of an election contest.

Even if a voter did have standing, each state has a separate contest. Only a resident of the state could possibly have standing.

The good news is, that’s all they’ve got.

Gossip and typos.

Meanwhile, they completely ignore the issue itself.

“President Trump and his allies have repeatedly alleged that the election was riddled with widespread voter fraud without providing any evidence.”

Notice the libs’ subtle change in narrative? First they were spewing that there was NO voter fraud; now they’re shifting to “no widespread voter fraud.”

>>If it was a liberal filing the suits the media would excuse the typos by saying it was due to extreme urgency and we should focus on the substance of the charges in stead of trivialities.

We’ve been told that the Trump supporters have no evidence of systemic widespread voter fraud (and even if there was a top down plan to steal the election the number of votes wouldn’t change things).

I recall numerous investigations by Democrats saying that there was no EVIDENCE of wrong doing by a Republican but the SERIOUSNESS OF THE CHARGES required full investigation blah blah blah.

Stalinists lie. Always

Thanks. This is what I think, too. Wood is a voter in GA and his suit was tossed over standing.

Nothing less than complete adoration of Sidney Powell is allowed.

Apparently, I am very jealous of her.

Just providing a visual of what the author of this hit piece was trying to portray.
Yes, I was being sarcastic.
