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.
> 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!
Bingo !
AMEN.
Yes too many Chinese financed trolls posting like crazy after the election. Real republicans are not going to lose nerve due to these trolls.
Like this?
L Lin Wood just posted this today:
Late this afternoon, I filed an Amended Complaint against GA Secretary of State @GaSecofState, et al. Due process issues are now also raised. The recount is a sham. Tomorrow, I will move for an emergency TRO.

They won't.
Brilliant detailed analysis--as usual. :-)
It’s a tainted election and you can’t trust any part of it.
*************
The election was uniquely problematic for two reasons as I see it.
First, the COVID outbreak contributed to unprecedented logistical and voting accommodations that gave rise to widespread irregularities that contaminated the count in multiple key states. Even though the Trump legal team can provide evidence of this, it cannot identify all of the irregularities that occurred. Nonetheless, their evidence should be sufficient and convincing enough to establish that the election was tainted. This problem was further exacerbated by preventing observers to monitor the counting.
And second, there were known problems within many of the voting systems that were used. Again, the Trump team should be able to document many instances of apparent fraud sufficient to cast doubt on the accuracy of the results produced by those machines.
So the combination of these two factors (i.e., the logistical irregularities and the manipulated election software) impacted the outcome of the election in substantial ways. The Court basically has three options: nullify the election, throw out problematic ballots, or conduct re-counts under certain guidelines. These are all ‘wicked’ problems that the Court will likely want to avoid. Turning it over the states would seem to be the best escape hatch for the Court, especially in view of rapidly approaching time constraints.
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.
The problem is that lawyers and their firms are being threatened in PA and elsewhere with loss of business or worse for individuals. There was a thread earlier today where the Trump team is on a third set of lawyers in PA as of yesterday (new ones appointed over the weekend and then immediately resigned) and the Obama judge won't allow a continuance for the case.

The State Courts. Voter issues in Wisconsin don’t go to SCOTUS without passing thru WI courts, establishing stare decisis.
Love Trump but he is done he has no backing by his own party he is a total outsider and we as the 70 million would not could not cause as much stink as the unemployed left I will be forever grateful he put a huge monkey wrench in Hillarys dreams Yes the election was stolen im just glad im old with no kids
It might be possible for the SCOTUS to overturn margins in PA, GA etc. that could result in a victory for Trump. I'm not disagreeing with your post. But my take is that a SCOTUS majority would find it difficult to rule that ballots must be thrown out at their direction, while remedies exist within the state legislatures and the Congress to address these issues. In the 2020 Florida ruling, the court ruled that vote counting had to end, not that any votes be discounted.
I am of the opinion that GOP state legislatures must take the lead and file electoral slates that correct the corruption within their states. If Biden is denied 270 electoral votes in this way, I think the House elects Trump.
Animal House!!! I’m a zit! Get it?!
"This election was lost when the Republicans did not push back on poorly supervised mail in balloting and vote harvesting."
This all day long ^^^^^. The contagion allowed the Democrats to change the election paradigm. Not only did the RNC and Trump campaign lay down, they failed to take advantage of the changes. We fooled our selves with the rallies and caravans full of adulation for the President. The election was lost in September and October.
So you’re so old that you have given up on the Rule of Law in a Constitutional Republic. Okay, go sit in a corner and mope until your masters feed you the drug-laden applesauce. I am seventy five and in a wheelchair, but these bastards have n o idea how I can fight them. I will not comply with SYSTEMIC TREASON. Your mileage may vary
Why would you believe a poll that says 59% believe Biden won? Did the Trump voters not prove that polls are just a way to manipulate the public and provide a basis for a stolen election? How does President Trump also get a 52% approval rate?
UH..Oh...correction: 2020 = 2000...
What the hell are you talking about? Oh, right, you don’t know what the hell you are talking about.
There WAS tremendous election FRAUD on the part of the democrats. It is UNDENIABLE! (except by you and the very democrat cheaters)
TRUMP WON on election day, the democrats stole it with FAKE ballots, switching ballots from Trump to Biden, software programs manipulating votes from Trump to Biden and every crooked way they could think of.
Depositions under the threat of perjury, videos/audios of fraud, Eye witnesses, IMPOSSIBLE analytical voting patterns, and on and on.
THE SUPREME COURT AND.... THE CONSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL PREVAIL.
AND if the vote can’t be certified (how in the world could this overwhelmingly fraudulent election get certified) IT FALLS TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES STATE DELEGATIONS (28 in control by Republicans).
It’s not a TRICK! IT’S THE CONSTITUTION. Maybe you never heard of it.
Why can’t they both be real?
important thing is stop the coup and win.
but still need the smaller fraud events so the guilty may be prosecuted to the maximum extent that the law allows.
"Huh? SCOTUS is Dem? Make some strong coffee real quick.
At best the USSC has two conservatives, Alito and Thomas. The left has Kagan and Sotomeyer. Roberts is a squish and the new three are unproven. The Supreme Court is unlikely to ride to the rescue.
