Trump is radioactive at this point for a variety of reasons. It saddens me. There is a legitimate Con Law issue in PA.
The Judge in GA wondered why Trump was not involved in the suit L Lin Wood filed because Trump may have had standing.
I wonder, too. I don’t know if it is money issues or no one thought to do it. Just seems odd.

The issue is a flagarant violation of the equal protection clause, and more importantly, the remedy to the problem which is drastic. Remember in 2000 SCOTUS voted 7-2 that the equal protection clause was violated, but it was the remedy of shutting down the recount that was decided sharply 5-4.

My explanation for that is that so far, they are selectively forum shopping for the right judge to hear the case. There are also abstention issues raised as well, that these cases should be heard in state court first. Judges are always looking for creative ways to clear their dockets and get it off their desks, especially with civil rights cases. In GA, they may prefer to litigate in state court, especially if they can't guarantee themselves a receptive federal judge. A hostile judge could just refuse to believe the affidavits and wreck their case. That is to be avoided at all costs.

This just from Trump attorney Jay Sekulow on Newsmax's America Right Now.:
"We have got lawsuits likely to be filed in Georgia on either Monday or Tuesday; I can't get into the details. ...
I can't tell you right now, but what's coming in Georgia will be shocking, when we file this in federal court Monday or Tuesday," Jordan Sekulow told host Tom Basile. "It's nothing that we have talked before. It's not what you heard in the press conference [Thursday] either.
"This is something completely separate."

Sounds to me like they will argue bribes, kickbacks or other corruption in GA in federal court.

I wrote federal preemption and meant to write about the abstention doctrine and federalism concerns.
