GOP plaintiffs moved to dismiss pending lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia Monday morning that targeted ballots in Democratic counties and attempted to block the states from certifying their election results, marking a noticeable shift in Republicans’ post-election legal strategy days after the Trump campaign and GOP suffered a series of failures in court Friday.
================================================================================
Key Facts
Three Wisconsin voters, backed by conservative group True the Vote, voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block the state from certifying votes in several Democratic-leaning counties, claiming their votes had been diluted because of alleged voter fraud and “illegal” votes in those counties.
The lawsuit—in which the plaintiffs admitted they did not yet have any concrete evidence of illegal votes and the evidence would be “shortly forthcoming”—was dropped immediately before the case was supposed to be heard in court.
Similar lawsuits in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, in which voters in each state also tried to exclude votes that were cast in certain Democratic-leaning counties, were also dismissed by the plaintiffs Monday morning.
The notices of dismissal did not give a reason behind the plaintiffs’ decision, and conservative attorney James Bopp, who is associated with True the Vote and represented the plaintiffs in all four states, told the Associated Press Monday he could not comment on the Wisconsin lawsuit due to attorney-client privilege.

Key Background
The GOP lawsuits were part of a broader effort by the Trump campaign and Republicans to challenge the election results in battleground states in the wake of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

Maybe thinking of going straight to the Supreme Court with evidence of widespread fraud, rather than spending resources trying to navigate multiple state suits.
I do know that Sidney Powell, and Rudy G., have been on many political shows. Powell is the most interesting and succinct of the two. Rudy G. knows alot but he speaks too fast and is hard for me to follow.
Powell makes lots of assertions that make my ears perk. First, she states that fraud information is coming out of the battleground states “like a firehose”...as Powell puts it.
She says she would not mention such things if she didn’t already have proof. She says that many of the politicos involved in purchasing the election software got paybacks. She says the software was designed intentionally to rig the election. The software originated from Venezuela (now there’s a free and happening country) and there are entanglements in many countries across the planet.
She asserts the fraud is over 600,000 in Penn. alone.
This is a big deal.
But I bite my nails and worry. I hope she’s not ....well lying might be too strong a word but exaggerating might work.
I’d rather lose by being cheated than have the country look upon us in disdain if none of those things she asserts is true.
Hope I’m making sense here.
I do think something’s up. Cause if Powell is right, no way should this mockery go on.
Right now I hear on Monday the state legislatures decide. On Tuesday I hear the Supreme Court will. Then there’s the Sec of State and in some cases members of the Kiwi tribe in Haiti will have the final say.
This story, alleged by another commenter to be a hoax, is a sign that they are very worried they are caught.
I am worried that we might be caught.
At least add (Fake News!) after the headline.
It IS good keep tabs how the MSM misleads America’s 47% (sheeple).
Very sadly I suspect he is throwing in the towel..I had heard from some credible sources that much of the stuff that the legal teams were producing was fluff,hard to prove..Pray I am wrong but anytime you deal with our current Court system corruption reigns supreme...
Consolidating and simplifying claims to make it more likely to get the rulings needed.
Could be they will let the fraudulent votes be certified and then go after the states in question with their evidence showing Dominion altered the votes.
Surely does— especially since it was obamaumao who deflected intel about Romney’s offshore accounts... revealed in the Panama Papers. Really illegal crap— and obiwon covered it up for Romney mr. romneycare/obamacare never forget. Romney is very very dirty... and the final connex to his campaign manager Cofer Black who sits on the BOD of Ukraininan Burisma- and made kickback payments to Romney (as well as Hunter).
Criminals-— all running from light.
Not so!
It’s my hope that these suits were dropped because they were filed prematurely, and if dismissed in court would undermine the more substantial claims being prepared by the Trump team. Sidney Powell and Kayleigh McEnany certainly did not sound defeatist over the weekend.

I have similar concerns.
I have a question on this topic.
If Trump’s team has criminal goods on the people using/ owning/ running/ purchasing the vote changer and the election “supervisors” see this effort to criminalize the vote changes then would certifying their election not put the supervisors in criminal jeopardy?
So they would better off personally saying we cannot certify the vote?
The lawsuits that were dropped weren’t filed by the Trump campaign.
Those suits were likely more of a distraction than anything. If the suits were in fact pulled, they could be consolidated into Trump’s suit or pulled permanently so as not to tie up judicial resources necessary to address Trump’s suit.
Exactly! Here is a great example of just that...

Forbes has never been friendly.
You’re kidding right? Most of the country does and will look at us with disdain no matter what. We have nothing to lose in continuing to fight....
fake news, cases are being amended as they usually are..
Dick Morris spoke with the president last night and says if we want to help to tell the GA Speaker of the House, GOP David Ralston and Senate Majority Leader Mike Dugan to NOT certify electors until a fair recount that looks at signature is done-not the bogus one being done now.
Here’s info to contact:
David Ralston , Speaker of the House

Mike Dugan, Senate Majority Leader

"The GOP lawsuits were part of a broader effort by the Trump campaign and Republicans"
This looks fake.
These lawsuits are almost certainly not part of the Trump efforts. There are separate legal actions by many parties. Dropping the overlapping cases probably clears the water.
Sidney Powell was on the Rush Limbaugh show today.
She said the Georgia recount was worse than useless because nothing was done about the machines accepting signatures that were well below the matching threshold established. Nothing has been done to throw out those bad signatures, so the hand count won't be any different from the fraud machine count and Dems will use the result to bolster their claims of "nothing to see here."
