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 Pennsylvania’s 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 Center’s 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 Project’s 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 Pennsylvania’s 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 state’s 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.
What’s The Remedy ???
.......................
Depends on what is necessary to achieve the objective, but I certainly wouldn’t rule out a call to arms.
By the way, Perdue was up +6 Wednesday morning before all these absentee ballots mysteriously came in
You have posted excellent CIRCUMSTANCIAL evidence. But without the body, the swamp will keep repeating where is the body?
Can you forward this to someone? Eric Trump is asking for info on his twitter feed.
What I posted is public data available to anyone, so I must assume that his team has already looked at the metrics.
Besides, I'm not on Twitter.

Indeed. You are to be commended for that investigative effort. I sure hope trump has good lawyers on the five or six states where D’s are apparently stealing the election.

Hopefully !
I posted this piece this morning on another thread:
I heard the dejection in David Webb's voice this morning on Sirius XM.The issue is apparently that even if there is evidence of massive vote fraud, there is no remedy. The courts cannot take back votes in a system of secret voting.
The prevailing sentiment seems to be that the only thing that can be done is to try the enablers of the crime, while the organizations that committed the crime still get to reap the benefits of that crime. To that extent, a recanvas (not just a recount, as talk radio is calling it) would be like discovery; it would force the states to open the books, match the counts to names and signatures in the logs, and could provide enough evidence of tampering to try officials themselves.
Personally, I think there is more that can be done here. I do believe there is a remedy. That remedy is to get the Supreme Court to invalidate the certifications of the contested state elections as a whole, not a onesy-twosy of a vote here or there.
The way to do it is this:
- Hold the recanvas and document the inconsistencies in the books.
- Prove that it is systemic and not just a statistical anomaly. Name names of perpetrators and provide whistleblower testimony, if possible.
- Argue in front of the Supreme Court that the Constitution provides for the remedy of the state legislature, acting as the representative of the people in a republic, to select the Electors in a failsafe situation, as long as the Court finds the management of the election to be so fraudulent and untrustworthy as to vote to decertify it.
- Then have the GOP state legislatures meet to vote on the slate of Electors to send to the Electoral College, backed up by a Supreme Court ruling that the certification was based on false premises.
Would they do it? Probably not.
President Trump would take it as far as he can to expose the plot for the American people to see. Hopefully, this will be remembered the next time the people turn out to vote. Also hopefully, people will realize that these election officials are their neighbors who shop at the same grocery stores, whose children go to the same schools, and will be shunned from polite society until they repent for their crimes.
But once the crimes are exposed, will SCOTUS have the nerve to overturn the state courts who are in on the coup? Will the state GOP have the nerve to step up and advocate for it, or will they revert back to their true nature of cowering from power and giving in to Democrat bully tactics?
I think we all know the answers to these questions, but the path forward is clear.
Seek to have the certifications of these elections overturned as hopelessly tainted and untrustworthy, and use the power of the Constitution to save the Constitution.
