Ken Starr: Pennsylvania Ballot Extension 'Constitutional Travesty'
Newsmax ^ | 08 November 2020 | Eric Mack

Posted on 11/09/2020 2:14:41 PM PST by McGruff

The disputed Pennsylvania ballot extension forced by state courts over the legislature is a "constitutional travesty," according to famed prosecutor Ken Starr.

"What happened in Pennsylvania over these recent weeks is a constitutional travesty," Starr told Fox News' "Life, Liberty & Levin." "Gov. [Tom] Wolf tries to get his reforms, his vision, as he was entitled to do, through the legislature of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He failed.

"He then goes to the state Supreme Court, which by a divided vote, accepted the substance of what Gov. Wolf was doing, and then added thereon nooks and crannies as well."

Starr also noted it is a "crime" to "count every vote," because counting "illegal" votes violates the Constitution and state law.

If PA late votes are not counted, as should be the case, Biden could still have exactly 270. What other state gets taken away from him? Nevada? Arizona?

If I recall correctly, Ken Starr won every single court case against Team Clinton, but without a Senate with integrity, it didn’t matter.

Alito eluded to this in his opinion ordering them to segregate and secure evrything after 8 pm, he cited Article 2 Section 1, so I think this is going to bite PA in the ass

I know Ken Starr personally.
He is a God fearing Christian.
I trust him.

The Clintons demonized Ken Starr and, sadly, you seem to have fallen for it.

Do you know that Ken Starr wanted to indict Hillary Clinton. I am not sure why he decided in the end not to do so, perhaps because she was first lady at the time.

Surly MI, WI, or GA. Perhaps NV. Not sure of AZ status but seems to be counting legit votes

There is a good reason why James Carville kept saying, “I hate Ken Starr.”

I watched Ken Starr on “Life, Liberty & Levin” yesterday. I was very impressed, and I have a new respect for him.

Every swing state will have a ballot recount. Many state results will end up in the SC.

No candidate will have 270 electoral votes by the end of November.

This whole thing end up back in the House and state legislative bodies where Trump will prevail.

That's irrelevant. If some States do not have certified electors by the time the EC votes, then the minimum to win is less than 270. Let's say PA, MI, WI, GA and AZ muck it up and don't send any electors. That's 20+10+16+16+11, or 73 fewer electors. So only 465 electors vote, that means a majority of valid electors would be 233, not 270.
