There seem to be two possibilities: A legal end-around or a brilliant misdirect. Either way, President Trump wins reelection in the end if his attorneys play their hands right.
===========================================================================
In Texas Holdem poker, getting an ugly win is better than getting a bad beat. An ugly win is when one bets heavily when they shouldn’t based on the cards they’re holding when they bet, but luck plays out and they beat the odds in the end. A bad beat is being on the losing end of such a play. That appears to be the bet President Trump’s attorneys are making with their current strategy that includes a constitutional crisis and a nation in which half of the people will feel cheated.
But there’s a good chance we’re not seeing the whole picture. Behind the ugly facade of getting good votes thrown out with the bad, could the team be working harder on the technological end rather than the analog side of voter fraud? There are clear indicators that what we’re seeing in court filings is only there to draw attention away from the real play.
Here’s what the forward-facing strategy appears to be. President Trump’s attorneys are claiming that actions by election officials in certain contested areas presented Democrats with too many opportunities to commit voter fraud. They wouldn’t allow Republican observers to participate, making analog voter fraud not only possible but likely in states like Pennsylvania and Michigan. Therefore, the votes must be thrown out completely.
According to Just The News:
The lawyers are prepared to argue that votes that were counted on election night and the day after without GOP observers present in Democrat-led cities should be thrown out because they were tainted by a process that was left open to fraud and abuse and illegally treated voters differently in various jurisdictions. The Trump campaign lawyers have identified 680,000-plus votes in Pennsylvania and about 250,000 in Michigan they believe fall into the category.
To augment the case, the lawyers are securing affidavits and declarations from citizens who allege:
they went to the polls to vote and were told they had already voted when they had not cast ballots they are listed as voting in a state where they did not cast ballots they witnessed fraudulent or improper vote counting activities as observers or election officials extreme statistical anomalies uncovered in a handful of battleground states’ vote totals are prima facie proof of fraudulent or untoward vote collection and counting activities
The request to discount large numbers of votes is a high legal and political hurdle to surmount, but it is not without precedent. In the last year, North Carolina threw out an entire special congressional election in its 9th District after evidence emerged that mail-in ballots were tainted by a ballot harvesting scheme tied to a GOP operative. And in New Jersey, a state judge earlier this year ordered new municipal election in Patterson, N.J., after evidence of ballot fraud emerged.
This strategy is not to “flip” contested states from Joe Biden to President Trump. It’s designed to invalidate enough votes to prevent electors from being selected, thus keeping Biden below the 270 Electoral College threshold. If that sounds ugly, it’s because it is. If it sounds risky, you’re hearing correctly. If the election is essentially voided, it goes to the House of Representatives to select the President and the Senate to select the Vice-President.
Despite the Democrats’ majority in the House, Republicans actually enjoy a slight advantage in this scenario. Every state gets one delegation vote. With more states having a GOP majority than Democrats, conventional wisdom says they would select President Trump. But if this scenario plays out, it is certain Democrats will petition their representatives to “do the right thing” and honor what they believe to be the true will of the people. It will almost certainly lead to more riots and anarchy unlike anything we’ve seen in 2020, which is saying a lot.
The Senate operates differently. Each Senator gets a vote, so control of the Senate based on the Georgia runoff elections will determine who fills the VP slot. Is it possible to have President Biden working with Vice President Pence or President Trump working with Vice President Harris? Yes.
But all of this could be moot. While the bulk of attention on the legal end is focused on filings by Team Trump in Pennsylvania and Michigan, there is another angle that has not really been touched by mainstream media. As we reported shortly after the election, Dominion Voting Systems seems to be at the heart of the technological side of voter fraud. Trump attorneys Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell have been hammering this point, as has famed attorney Lin Wood. It seems possible, almost likely, that all of this talk of throwing out votes based on unequal protection is a feint. The real play could be widespread digital voter fraud.
In that scenario, the attorneys will not have to force the Supreme Court into a judgment call. They’ll be able to demonstrate unambiguous voter fraud on a massive scale. That would be ideal as it would no longer be about throwing out ballots. It would be about counting the ballots properly. From both a public narrative and a legal perspective, forcing hand-recounts and audits rather than tossing ballots altogether is more palatable.
If the President’s attorneys’ apparent strategy plays out, he will likely win with a nation sharply divided. If this is all a distraction and Dominion Voting Systems is the real play, this could be the political gambit of the ages. Either way, President Trump wins if the Supreme Court accepts the Trump team’s arguments.
Well I have made some sizeable donations to the 2016 and 2020 campaigns and now they blow my phone up daily wanting more money with no evidence of a plan to win this.
This.
So why does the RNC think they will win the Senate runoff if the POTUS election was stolen in GA again ?
“Kracken? The only thing that can come from a giant squid is fried calamari”
For everyone! Then we’ll have unity and peace throughout the land.
Trust the plan.
I am ready to exit the ride. Waiting for full stop.
Like I said, TRUMP is a speed bump on Socialisms highway.
I’ve followed a lot of these claims of fraud and there is no there there
I am in the same boat, did the rats cheat? Of course they did, they cheated in 2016 as well, just didn’t do it at the numbers they needed to win. However, I need proof, hard proof of this, not cheap media lawyers telling me they are going to release the Kraken or whatever. That media lawyer was on Mark Levin and she is slick I tell you, really slick. I don’t trust her. But I am sure she will have a book out in 6 months “How Biden Stole the election” and everyone on here will line up like a bunch of lemmings and buy it.
Screw it
What the hell is the RNC supposed to say? The GOP candidates have no chance in GA?! Geez.
Continuing with the poker analogy, it’s hard to win a card game when the other players are cheating, and neither the dealer nor the pit boss cares.
And that’s what’s going on here. Biden is pulling extra cards out of his pocket, and putting them on the table. It’s tough to overcome that sort of thing.
Trump: “I just made a full house.”
Biden: “Sorry, pal. I just found three more aces to go with the one I already have.”
There is no nth degree chess with glass boards going on here. This election was lost when the Republicans did not push back on poorly supervised mail in balloting and vote harvesting. That they did not push back was a result of their general antipathy towards Trump.
The lawsuit filings are a backup channel and food for the Trump voters to stay involved and hopeful. The irregularities being alleged are commonly known for years, and easy to understand. The main channel to provide MASSIVE FRAUD through data manipulation and flooding FOUR CITIES with paper ballots, all only selecting Biden, after the counting stopped, all at the same time. The trigger for stopping the counting was the betting odds flip to Trump and tanking of the Yuan. Check the timing on these events.
I think great care is being taken here because this could be much more than just the fraudulent election. It also could involve the COVID-19 lockdown which destroyed the economy, left American streets open for rioters, allowed an opportunity to get vote-by-mail going in more places, and gave an ever-more-feeble Joe Biden a good excuse to stay in his basement, rather than be out campaigning amongst the public.
If the ridiculous series of events over the past couple of years have actually been various parts of one big, evil scheme, it better be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, because this is the kind of thing you execute people for.
The courts are not the right place. This is just lawyers billing.
Gotta go direct to the legislatures. They are the proper court. The rest of this is silliness.
The equal protection clause has been violated. SCOTUS will address that. IMHO!
I have seen again and again how Trump has laid traps for democrats to walk in and fall into the dungeon below.
No reason to believe anything different this time. Trump plays 4 dimension chess all the time, while democrats play checkers with obvious hiding ballots from GOP observers and using software developed expressly for Hugo Chavez’s election (Dominion).
Does any one recall how Romney got 0 votes in some areas while Obama got every one of the votes? Has this ever happened before even in a municipal election? Correct answer is never. But Romney just turned the other cheek. This is exactly why the swamp hates Trump so much. He does not turn the other cheek, he actually hits back harder.
There is a PA case sitting at the USSC and at least Alito has shown extreme interest in it.
I find it hard to believe 5 Justices would rubber stamp an entire state's - perhaps several state's - election laws being changed without going through their legislative bodies.
IMO there's a there there but we have to make it to the USSC.
And I'm no Pollyanna, nor a Q follower.
Why so poopie??
The anti Trump trolls are at it full force on this thread. Fairweathered FReepers.
The equal protection clause has been violated. SCOTUS will address that. IMHO!
I agree with you. The lynchpin of Bush vs. Gore.
I refuse to believe the president has been beating the drum for months now about election fraud & doing NOTHING about it.
________________________________________________________
Only two possibilities here:
As soon as those cheat-by-mail ballots were sent out, Trump planned a sting operation to catch the arrogant cheaters red-handed.
or
Trump did nothing but tweet, bitch and moan about how he would be cheated and just let the fraud happen, and is now fruitlessly trying to respond to it.
I saw a recent interview with Giuliani and he explained that losing lower court cases is not a problem. His goal is to work his way up to the Supreme Court. Some people around here gets depressed when they hear that “Rudy lost another case”. But it’s kind of the point. He’s working his way up the chain to where it matters, and that takes time and does require losing some cases.
Thank goodness you are not the president. Are you serious the linguine spine state legislatures have two big brass ones to nullify the bogus vote counting? NO chance.
But if the courts rule the election had serious flaws, then the linguine spines have a chance to stiffen.
