1. FEDERAL courts have no business enforcing STATE election laws. This is a clear jurisdictional matter between federal and state governments, and there is no role for federal courts in state elections unless there are civil/voting rights issues in dispute.
2. Even if there WAS a clear, undisputed civil/voting rights issue in one or more states in 2020, any court action must be initiated by an aggrieved party. If Pennsylvania somehow violated the Civil Right Act and/or the Voting Rights Act, for example, then the affected voters in Pennsylvania would have the legal standing to file lawsuits against the state in federal court. The State of Texas, on the other hand, is not an aggrieved party in the matter. This goes directly to the “lack of standing” determination in the Texas case against other states in 2020.
3. In every disputed state in the 2020 election, the state legislature had the authority to override its own state courts in the appointment of presidential electors, if the election process violated state law. None of them did. It’s not up to the federal courts to do the job that state legislatures are unwilling to do.
4. If states have the legal standing to get federal courts to enforce the laws of other states, then the first consequence in the first federal court ruling is that all state laws must be eliminated and then replaced by a national standard that all states must meet. Trust me — that’s the LAST thing you would want.
45: - THIS.
I was starting a reply, but you hit all the points.
Republicans got caught asleep at the switch and should have had a well formed strategy before the election. Instead, we had the clown car team of R. Giuliani, S. Powell, J. Ellis, etc making claims they could not back up and taking valuable bandwidth. Add to that kook claims by Mike Lindell that he could not back up and the results expected.
2020 is over. People should stop whining about it and look to 2024.
