BACKSTORY A local Republican candidate sued to (A) stop the practice and (B) for the ballots not to be counted, both on the state law claim, and, (C) because, (drum roll please) citing Bush v. Gore, in the FLA mess, it’s a “federal equal protection violation” for some voters to be notified about curing their ballots while not notifying others.
The Judge reviewing ballot counting in suburban Philadelphia county questioned the fairness of blocking voters from correcting mistakes on their ballots. “So what happens to my vote?” the judge asked. It could be “potentially disqualified,” he was told “But I was never given the opportunity” to fix it, Judge Savage responded. “I am losing my vote.”
============================
(h/t Alberta’s Child) The answer to the judge should have been: “The measures taken to fix or cure the defects in your ballot are illegal under state law; there are 66 other counties in this state where the voters DIDN’T get a chance to fix or cure defects in their ballots and the reason why is because election officials obeyed the law and didn’t contact them.”

This is a very good point. It’s easy to get cold feet about what could happen. I take confidence in Trump’s ability to deliver. Look at how well Sekulow and the rest of the team managed the impeachment. Look at the virtual convention Trump’s team ran - best convention ever. I’ve been impressed by Guiliani. He’s sharp as a tack and has a sense of humor, too!
The best lawyers in the country are on our team, they’ve been tested under fire. And we now have a solid conservative SCOTUS that’s guided by Constitutional principles.
