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.
No these are from the Trump campaign.
Maybe he is working on something. His team doesn’t have to present anything to the whining, sniveling media and to the hand-wringing doubters until it is good and ready.
14 days after Election Day and still searching for lawyers.
We surely have patriot lawyers who would lend assistance.
Romney, McCain, et al are/were controlled opposition. That’s why they hate Trump. He’s not faking it. He says what he believes and he does what he promises.
This website is full of controlled opposition sowing defeat and confusion. Their posts are easy to spot. They usually follow the format of “X is great, but resistance is futile.”
The courts can’t rule. The opposition will argue against. And the courts are probably Dem. All we will have is statistical suggestive stuff.
The 3 legislatures are Republican and fairly big majorities. They need far less than any court to make their decision.
It’s just a Hail Mary that is not going to work....disagree, it’s a fake punt.
yes
never reveal your strategy
your tactics are visible, but confuse your enemy
then break their jaw and watch their lifeless body hit the pavement
then go home and love your wife and family
Unless I get banned, it’s not happening. Deal with it. Some here knew the DEMs would steal this election, and in a big way. I’ve seen very little to indicate Trump is going to win this election in the SCOTUS and/or with the state legislatures.
Our Kracken-releasing friends are complaining about the media, complaining about Dominion ownership, complaining about little instances of fraud, or the opportunity for fraud.
Where is the beef?
They won't ... 'accept the Trump team's arguments'.
The Supremes would be making the same mistake that the Dominion programmers made when they crafted their Trump-Biden subroutines - listening to and believing the Media.
That's why they had to stop the counting - the subroutines were wrong for the huge Trump turnout...
The Supremes would make the mistake of judging voter sentiment on what they're seeing on social media and Media - all of which are controlled by the Democrat Party.
They would destroy their credibility in one fell swoop, and would be seen as a complete tool of the Uniparty.
They'd have to go to The Gun to enforce their banana republic laws, after that.
I have always found it interesting that the whole time the media was going crazy about Trump’s tweets, he was quietly working away - changing environmental regulations, Justice Department rules, appointing federal judges at a breakneck pace etc. I think surfacing the voter fraud in various states is important, but it is not the main show. We shall see....
The technological path could produce the hard evidence of fraud but presenting the analog fraud data is needed to show the dense. Right now 59% of Americans believe Biden won and that has to change.
Trump is not going to concede and will rally against state legislators to vote against him. These politicians will put their futures on the line voting against him. Most want to go to Washington or be governor someday. How is this possible if they signed off on rampant fraud? Worst this goes to the house and their GOP members put futures in doubt voting AGAINST Trump
Whole lot of ‘ifs’ in that article.
> His goal is to work his way up to the Supreme Court.
IANAL, but you would think one of the lower level courts would give Giuliani a win to avoid a precedent-setting ruling at the SCOTUS level that might impact multiple states.
Huh? SCOTUS is Dem? Make some strong coffee real quick.
Lower courts are seldom strategic thinking. That is why so many cases end up in SCOTUS. In fact so many that SCOTUS can’t take half of them due to time constraints.
The very fact that the run-off election in GA is proceeding, undermines any efforts by team Trump to challenge the results there!
Everyone down ballot of the President should be contesting the results, not accepting them, and proceeding with a run-off. By proceeding, they are in effect, saying the results in GA are legitimate!
If ever there was a case for SCOTUS, ELECTION FRAUD IN A FEDERAL ELECTION and massive unconstitutional actions by the DemonRats, THIS IS IT.
But the SCOTUS are cowards and THEY WILL PUNT TO EACH RESPECTIVE STATE LEGISLATURE.
