[Dr. Franklin]

The remedies are fairly easy

They are easy for us, but drastic for the judges. Remember that in Bush v. Gore in 2000, SCOTUS ruled 7-2 that Florida violated the equal protection clause in how it conducted the recount, but split sharply 5-4 on the remedy of stopping the recount. I don't know if they can distinguish the novel mail in ballots from the absentee ballots.

By comingling all of the ballots they made a mess of things. To use a crude analogy, if someone urinates in to a vat of wine, do you bottle up the wine like nothing happened because so much money and effort went in to making the wine? It's what they did. Once the courts get past the standing arguments and other excuses, and actually address the fraud, the issue then becomes the remedy. Tossing out hundreds of thousands of illegal or fraudulent ballots leads to the cannard that the courts are disenfranchising voters. In fact those ballots are cancelling out legal votes. It's the ultimate cancel culture!

Excellent post. Rather than whining about disenfranchising voters the bigger concern should be with cleaning up a voting system that has lost the confidence of at least half the voters in the state. They seem disinterested in remediating this fundamental problem which strikes at the heart of self governance.
