Christie, Romney, Bush: "Don't make me wait. Ohhhh, this is too hard."

It’s unclear if the point on the 2020 election timeline has been reached that allows for serious discussion of legal challenges around what the Trump camp is suggesting looks like widespread fraud. Too early and the newly gracious and delicate media will revert back to hurling invective, painting those giving such insane notions quarter as mad and pathologically incapable of just letting a legitimate loss go. But the Trump administration’s legal challenge — and his legal team has shown amazing resolve in revealing only little bits here and there — is starting to take shape, and it could put as many as 94 electoral college votes in play by some estimates. So here’s to risking the smear.
There are many angles the Trump administration could take based on anecdotal reports out of many states. In Michigan and Georgia there were problems with glitches in the vote counting software (Dominion, used in 28 states, which has its own interesting history I won’t get into here except to say in 2010 it bought the software named in a federal investigation into the 2004 recall election of Hugo Chavez in Venezuela). It should be noted, the Michigan county in question is disputing Dominion — used in almost all other Michigan counties — was the source of the glitch. Georgia, however, has four counties that experienced some kind of tech glitch, Spalding and Morgan counties, Gwinnett (which led to a delay counting absentee ballots), and Fulton (which led to people being asked to fill out provisional ballots). Fulton has also indicated a problem with their vote count reporting leading to a rescanning of some ballots.
Then there’s Nevada, where a whistleblower has come forward indicating he witnessed illegal ballots being counted.

In Wisconsin, poll workers may have altered thousands of absentee ballots in violation of the law. And — get this — they made their illegal corrections in easily traceable red pen.
“In defiance of and direct contradiction to the statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance–that is, cover–to all 72 county clerks and turned the statute on his head,” Gableman said. “They said, ‘Gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but county clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness’ address if there’s no address on the absentee ballot.”
Anticipating a legal challenge to this seemingly highly unlawful advice, the WEC instructed clerks to write in these witness addresses in red pen so that they would be easy to find during a recount or audit of the vote.
The Republican Party of Wisconsin estimates that thousands of witness addresses may have been changed, thus invalidating the ballots on which they appeared. The statutory remedy for this is to subtract a commensurate number of votes for the candidates for whom those ballots were cast, meaning that vote totals may substantially change.
Adding to all that, it was announced Friday the Trump administration was bringing a lawsuit over ballot handling in Arizona, and SCOTUS has already involved itself in the Pennsylvania legal challenge. Additionally, new lawsuits are set to be filed Monday in both Pennsylvania and Nevada.
What this all means is there are a LOT of lawsuits over the 2020 election. One twitter user created a handy map; and while I can’t verify outstanding legal challenges mean those states can’t certify electoral votes, is seems at least plausible they couldn’t until those lawsuits are resolved. I welcome any thoughts on that in the comments…

So tuck in, folks. The next few weeks are going to be a public relations battle that — almost unbelievably with all we’ve been through as nation over the last four years of Russian collusion hoaxes and white supremacist slander — we’ve not seen before. Biden (and most of the media) will be demanding Trump concede. If Trump holds out (which it looks like he means to do until he’s satisfied he lost fairly), we can expect to see the midnight rioting again, unfortunately.
Trump’s side, however, is playing their poker hand quite close to the vest, a strategy likely to help them during the coming PR war. Ron Coleman, an attorney tapped to work on Trump’s legal challenge in Pennsylvania, does, however, divulge what he can on Twitter (and he’s worth a follow for sure). He likes to tease with compelling little nuggets like this frequently:
Noam. I was there. This is beyond smoking guns. And they're going into legal documents.

Anyone that believed the 2020 election was over when Biden, with the help of the mainstream press, pulled a Napoleon and crowned himself is surely questioning that belief as the days wear on. And they are questioning it, whether they’re willing to admit it to themselves or anyone else.
When Trump wins,and the leftists loot and riot that makes them all domestic enemies of the US....Nancy Pelosi says so..Anyone who doesn’t accept the outcome is an enemy of the state..ARE YOU LISTENING ANTIFA AND BLM???????
Dominion and State officials involved in the counting must be forced to clean up all ambiguities re the update the night before election.
who uploaded/didn’t upload what, when and why the night before the election? good luck trying to find out from the following:
8 Nov: Washington Examiner: Republicans expand probe into Dominion Voting Systems after Michigan counting snafu
by Emily Larsen & Zachary Halaschak
DETROIT — Republicans are probing more Michigan counties and suggesting investigations in Nevada and Arizona to determine whether further Dominion Voting Systems technology errors caused votes to be counted incorrectly.
Tony Zammit, communications director for the Michigan Republican Party, told the Washington Examiner on Saturday that the GOP is working across the Wolverine State to find out if other counties experienced similar issues to Antrim County.
“Our team is currently reaching out to county clerks across Michigan as well as going through election results in each of the counties which use this software to see how widespread this error may be,” Zammit said.
A failure to update software caused a glitch in one Michigan county, resulting in 6,000 votes erroneously being tabulated for Joe Biden rather than President Trump...
The voting systems provider has contracts in all of the key swing states in which Trump’s campaign team is mounting legal challenges, and Republicans in two of those Southwestern states, Arizona and Nevada, also have their eye on the system...
“What does this mean for Nevada? We need answers,” the Nevada Republican Party said in a tweet on Friday in response to a tweet about Dominion being used in the state...
The Michigan Department of State pushed back on Cox’s claims...
“The erroneous reporting of unofficial results from Antrim County was a result of accidental error on the part of the Antrim County Clerk,” the office said in a statement. “The equipment and software did not malfunction and all ballots were properly tabulated. However, the clerk accidentally did not update the software used to collect voting machine data and report unofficial results.”...
The Washington Examiner reached out to Dominion for comment...

8 Nov: Heavy.com: Dominion Voting Systems: Glitch, Clinton Tie Cause Scrutiny in 2020 Election
By Jessica McBride
Dominion has ties to the Clinton Foundation. The company has used lobbying firms that employ lobbyists with ties to major figures like Georgia’s Republican governor and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, as well as a lobbyist who donated money to Republican Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Increasing the scrutiny, it has also worked with firms tied to George Soros and Robert Mueller and gets some components from China. A former ambassador named by former President Barack Obama sits on the board of a company that acquired it in 2018...
The company’s equipment is used in North Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Pennsylvania – key states where President Donald Trump’s campaign has raised concerns or that are still being counted...
An executive board member of Staple Street Capital, William Earl Kennard, is a former ambassador to the EU who was appointed to that position by former President Barack Obama. In 2018, Dominion announced it had been acquired by its management team and Staple Street Capital. On November 6, Kennard was named to the board of WarnerMedia parent AT&T, which owns CNN...
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Dominion’s Technology Serves 40% of American Voters; the Company Gave Money to the Clinton Foundation & Uses Some Parts From China...
A 2014 State of California document indicates Dominion’s agent of record at that time was Boston lawyer Michael Bevilacqua of Wilmer Hale. Former special prosecutor Robert Mueller works for that firm...
According to Politico (LINK), a “technology glitch” halted voting in two Georgia counties on election day because a vendor uploaded “an update to their election machines the night before.”...

4 Nov: Politico: Georgia election official: Machine glitch caused by last-minute vendor upload
Voting was delayed in two counties for two hours while the problem was fixed.
by Kim Zetter; Eric Geller contributed to this report.
Voters were unable to cast machine ballots for a couple of hours in Morgan and Spalding counties after the electronic devices crashed, state officials said. In response to the delays, Superior Court Judge W. Fletcher Sams extended voting until 11 p.m.
The counties use voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and electronic poll books — used to sign in voters — made by KnowInk.
The companies “uploaded something last night, which is not normal, and it caused a glitch,” said Marcia Ridley, elections supervisor at Spalding County Board of Election. That glitch prevented pollworkers from using the pollbooks to program smart cards that the voters insert into the voting machines...
Ridley said that a representative from the two companies called her after poll workers began having problems with the equipment Tuesday morning and said the problem was due to an upload to the machines by one of their technicians overnight.
“That is something that they don’t ever do. I’ve never seen them update anything the day before the election,” Ridley said. Ridley said she did not know what the upload contained.
Gabriel Sterling, voting system implementation manager in the secretary of state’s office, told reporters that the issue likely was a dataset that got uploaded to the systems, but that they don’t know for certain. He did not say if the dataset was uploaded by the voting machine vendor.
Sterling told reporters the issue took some time to fix because technicians had to bring in additional equipment to correct the problem.
Neither Dominion nor KnowInk responded to a request to comment. A spokesperson for the secretary of state’s office also did not respond to follow-up questions about who uploaded the dataset and whether it had been reviewed and tested by anyone beforehand.
Jennifer Doran, elections director for the Morgan County Board of Elections and Registration, said the issue was with how the KnowInk pollbooks encode a voter access card that is used with the Dominion voting machines.
When voters sign in at a voting location, poll workers insert a voter access card into the Poll Pad tablet and encode it for that voter. The card is then inserted into voting machines to display the proper ballot for that voter. The glitch apparently prevented poll workers from encoding those cards.
“Morgan County poll workers did a great job of quickly moving to emergency backup procedures so that voters were able to continue voting,” Doran said. She said Dominion technicians fixed the issue.
The counties devised a workaround in some cases by having poll managers use their own card and a code to initialize the voting machine for each voter. But this caused long lines at some precincts.

What I’m afraid is that after the court lighted in trumps favor, the real number shows he lost it
When the antiTrumpers lift their champaign glasses in celebration, we will know who they are. When President Trump wins after decertifying the DemonKKKrat fraud, we will know who they are and they will be wearing it on their faces.
From sea to shining sea America will rise up for the warrior king.
SAY no more! That there is enough right there to cause suspicion! Big time suspicion!
Bring it on!!
It's possible, but the likely scenario in that case would be Trump increasing his vote count but not enough to overcome Biden's lead. What I just cannot see happening is the gap between Biden and Trump increasing even more.
According to the mathematical analyses and the statistical anomalies, Trump is expected to triumph in PA, MI, WI, GA, and AZ.
In the statistics biz it is called a systematic error, and indicates the measurement (in this case the vote count) is wrong.
Whether it can be proven in court is another matter.
He’s also going to do rallies again - to put pressure on legislators to review voting ...
and the Dems use their Judges to stop everything
Nevada here.. where do I volunteer?
I have to admit I’m actually getting excited about this
This is going to SCOTUS.
There is only one potentially useful piece of info here — that ballots may have been altered in Wisconsin. However, I dont see any evidence other than some news guy hearing something from unnamed sources. If there are such ballots, and they are really marked with red pen, it should be easy to find them. Get a recount and have republican polling agents oversee the count and challenge these ballots. Current vote difference in Wisconsin is 20k+.
Those rallies will whip Trump voters up into a frenzy.
Good.
Cause this is it.
99 percent of R at all levels want to make no friction.
Congress hasn’t been about serving the people in forever.
It’s about serving themselves
