In the face of historic and unprecedented irregularities in the counting of votes in swing states including Michigan and Pennsylvania, Republican lawyers are suing to ensure the integrity of this election.
The Trump campaign and state-level Republican Party organizations have filed lawsuits in Michigan and Georgia, as well as new lawsuits in Pennsylvania, where the U.S. Supreme Court has requested Democrats respond to a motion by the Trump campaign to intervene in an earlier suit over Pennsylvanias decision to keep accepting new mail-in ballots for days after Election Day, in violation of state law. In addition, private, non-partisan groups such as the Thomas More Centers Amistad Project are suing in Michigan and Pennsylvania over specific allegations of election law violations that could affect the outcome of these critical vote tallies.
The Democrats charge that these lawsuits are intended to stop the counting of votes, but that is the exact opposite of the truth. When these Democrat officials who stopped reporting votes in the middle of the night as Donald Trump was accumulating a victory margin talk about the Constitution, they are gaslighting the American people. Republicans seek to ensure that every single valid vote be counted in exactly the way the law demands. Why would election officials in multiple locations controlled by Democrats seek to block Republican poll watchers view of the counting process? There is no valid reason for this.
Republicans are fighting for our legal right to observe these counts as massive dumps of improbably Biden-heavy ballots continue to turn up and be counted by Democrat poll workers and election officials. There are numerous eyewitness accounts of Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia and Detroit including colleagues at my law firm being excluded from the process, put behind bicycle barriers 30 feet away from the actual counting, or having their view obstructed by sheets of cardboard as thousands of ballots are added to Democratic totals.
The Amistad Projects Michigan lawsuit contains first-hand, eyewitness accounts of Democrat election observers filling out new ballots for votes that machines could not read without the participation of Republican observers. That is illegal.
The same group also filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania alleging that poll workers in heavily-Democratic districts gave incorrectly filled-out ballots back to Democrat activists to fix them. These actions, taken with the approval of Pennsylvanias Democrat Secretary of State, violate established Pennsylvania election law. Moreover, because the last-minute nature of this announcement less than 24 hours before polls closed prevented rural counties from taking full advantage of the new process, it likely violated the constitutional guarantee of equal protection, even if this abrupt rule change might otherwise be valid.
These irregularities are just the tip of the iceberg. Every indication suggests there is far more illegal activity waiting to be documented and challenged: poll workers wearing Biden-Harris campaign gear as they tabulate votes, reports from Michigan that hundreds of Trump mail-in ballots were misplaced, and thousands more Trump votes excluded from counts by election software problems in Michigan.
Other reports are even more disturbing, including postal workers being told to backdate late ballots, and even long-dead Michigan residents being listed on the states election website as having not just received postal ballots, but having also completed and returned them from beyond the grave.
Every valid vote must be counted in the manner prescribed by law. We knew months ago when Democrats launched an all-out effort to change election rules using the COVID pandemic as cover that it might take a protracted effort to reach that outcome. As it turns out, our fears were well-founded, and the situation appears to have played out almost exactly as we expected.
We are fighting the fight we knew might come. In the courts and in the ballot counting centers themselves, we will not rest until we secure what the Constitution guarantees to the American people: a fair election.
We No Longer Have A Free & Fair Press, Or Free & Fair Elections.
What’s The Remedy ???
You betcha. Lawsuits imminent in VA7 and VA4 too.
Trump and a can of whoop ass
We sure don’t
Sharon Angle’s advice.
thank HEAVEN! we need to put a QUICK STOP to all of this D election theft!
it is (regardless of whether they pull it off or not) destroying our representative system of governance
AND turning USA into just another corrupt banana republic
Michigan Supreme court was 4-3 Repub majority before election. Well of course a Dem SC Judge won in the election so Dems have majority now. MI screwed.
History is filled with examples of extreme violence based on the perception that no free and fair elections process exists.
they’d better stop it or there will hell to pay. When there’s nothing left to lose...
“We No Longer Have A Free & Fair Press, Or Free & Fair Elections”
Add Corporate Governance to the list as well.
Thomas Jefferson once said that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants”
Maybe it’s time
Lol, Republican “lawyers,” but not Republican politicians.
“Michigan Supreme court was 4-3 Repub majority before election. Well of course a Dem SC Judge won in the election so Dems have majority now. MI screwed”
When does he take office?
We can stop putting money in their pockets by going back to antenna. I know we would miss out on the entertainment, but weigh the entertainment value from the movie you saw last month against what we're going through now and it doesn't amount to much.
Doesn’t take office until Jan.
I remember Sharron Angle. In a sane world she would have trounced Harry Reid and won that senate seat. But Harry Reid was one of the shadiest and most crooked pols in American history.
Right. Trump called them a few moments ago during his news conference.
Biden will never sot in the oval
I meant called them republicans out he just helped.
