On Monday, the campaign to reelect President Donald Trump filed a mammoth lawsuit accusing Pennsylvania Secretary Kathy Boockvar and county elections boards throughout the state of violating the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally revising the law in a manner that deprives some voters of their rights to a free and fair election.
In a rush to count mail ballots and ensure Democrat Joe Biden is elected, Pennsylvania has created an illegal two-tiered voting system for the 2020 General Election, devaluing in-person votes, the lawsuit alleges.
For voters that appeared at the polls, those citizens were required to sign voter registrations, have those signatures checked against voter rolls, vote in a polling place monitored by statutorily-authorized poll observers, and have their votes counted in a transparent and verifiable open and observed manner. By contrast, due to the arbitrary, unauthorized, and standardless actions of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Kathy Boockvar, nearly 2.65 million votes were cast through a mail-in process that lacked all of the hallmarks of transparency and verifiability that were present for in-person voters, the suit claims.

Provisional ballots are likely to gain trump 30-35k votes when they are all counted.
If the supremes enforce the law and throw out all late absentee ballots. Trump will win PA.
However need more than that to get to 270
GA if they were doing their job there. The GA sec of state is a complete INCOMPETENT. Florida is a larger state that GA and it got its complete count done in just a few hours yet a week later, GA is still counting.
I think we need the national guard for all elections. Make the dems observe from the back of the room.
Congress' powers are:
Article II Section 1 gives the state legislatures the power to choose the method of selecting Electors. If the election is so tainted that the state is at risk of losing its representation in the Electoral College, the Constitutional thing to do is for the Legislature to meet in special session to vote to choose the Electors directly.
Here is how I think they should do it:
This should give the legislature political cover for their next reelections.

Montgomery and Delaware County PA numbers are so fraudy. Check out the difference between 2016 and 2020 in that county. Over 100,000 more. That is the difference in the election.
On a Birmingham radio show this morning a person called in and said they received a PA mail-in ballot which they had not requested.
The person said they used to live in PA but moved away in 1989. Apparently they were still on their voter rolls. They didn’t send it in but wondered if it would have been counted if they had sent it in.
Throw out the state as a whole - state doesnt count in EC.
Okay, lets say the Safe Harbor day in December arrives and the votes are still in either dispute or being adjudicated. What happens then? Does that mean NO electoral votes from the state in question when the electoral votes are counted on Dec. 14?
Elections are the constitution put into action by all the voting citizens.
This should be an interesting case. I know that courts are extremely reluctant to overturn or discard an election, but when the number of errors and the consequences of these errors are so drastic, I can’t see how they can simply ignore it. But, I wonder what other remedies there might be.
14th Amenment, laws changed arbitrarily outside the legislature to disadvantage a portion of the citizenry. Federal case, it is.
New York State law could require Hillary Clinton write down the names of her chosen electors every four years.
State law doesn’t have to be fair.
State law can leave discretion such as signature verification to officials and judges, but officials and judges can’t fundamentally change election law, only function within it.
PA is a special case. They won’t be able to sort out good from bad ballots are far as ballot harvesting, etc, but they can disallow the votes received after 8 o’clock, which the law clearly requires, and those have been segregated.
Disallowing those will give Trump the win, without having to sort out that mess. It get a fair and correct result easily.
You realize that will guarantee a Biden win.
“In a rush to count mail ballots”
Election theft appears to be a rather slow process.
Mishandling of mail ballots is where problems arise.
“Under Pennsylvania law, voters must return their own ballots. The only exceptions to this are for voters with a disability who have designated someone in writing to deliver their ballot.”
https://www.votespa.com/Voting-in-PA/Pages/Mail-and-Absentee-Ballot.aspx
Ballot harvesting is an exception, not the rule in PA.
Responsibility for both EXPLICITLY belongs to Congress in Article II and Amendment XII.
These are nonjusticeable political questions, 5 originalist judges will refuse to hear any of these cases.
Disallowing those will give Trump the win, without having to sort out that mess. It get a fair and correct result easily.
You are correct, this one should be an easy rule for the USSC. The courts are reluctant to overturn election results based on claims of fraud, such as dead people voting, miscounted ballots, etc. They should give weight to sanctioning such illegality, but for some reason they don't.
But they do seem to be open to ruling on matters of process. That's basically what happened in Bush v. Gore. The Gore campaign wanted to recount selectively and the Court said no, you can't change the rules in midstream simply because it will help your case. Likewise here. The law says the ballots must be in by a certain date and time. No ballot received after the cutoff date and time will be accepted and counted as valid. The USSC says you have to follow your own laws. Of all the challenges out there, this one seems pretty straightforward.
Fourth option: throw out all mail in ballots w/o signatures and not returned properly (not in secrecy envelope, etc..)
Finally, haven't we all learned that this is EXACTLY WHY no other country in the world has mail-in ballots en masse like this?
FFS, people stood in line to vote in Iraq and Afghanistan, risking their lives to vote and have their fingers dipped in purple dye to show they voted.
WTF is wrong with America? Bunch of panzies in this country.
I stood in line for almost two hours to vote. Four lower back surgeries, wasn't allowed to have a fold up chair to sit in, nothing. No "express" line for people like me, and I stood their and waited with HUNDREDS of people in front of and behind me during a pandemic. All while a bunch of panzies sat at home, marked a ballot and then whined about how hard it was.
All those people can kiss my lilly white backside. If you refuse to show up then maybe you SHOULDN'T vote! With the exception of the infirmed, handicapped, elderly and those living abroad like our military, there's zero reason to not show up and physically vote.
Bunch of sissies in this country. If that offends anyone, IDGAF. Bunch of damn' sissies. My God, if WW3 were to break out this country would be f**ked.
