Rand Paul rejects claim courts ruled no election fraud occurred: They found 'excuse' to sit it out
Washington Examiner ^ | Dec 16 | by Andrew Mark Miller

Posted on 12/21/2020 5:29:27 AM PST by RandFan

Sen. Rand Paul rejected the idea that courts have "decided the facts" on the integrity of November's presidential election.

“The courts have not decided the facts,” Paul said Wednesday during a hearing on the integrity of the 2020 election. “The courts never looked at the facts. The courts don’t like elections, and they stayed out of it by finding an excuse.”

Paul pointed out while speaking with former special counsel Ken Starr that 60 court cases involving voter fraud claims in the election were thrown out for procedural reasons, which Starr agreed with, saying that the “vast majority” were thrown out for procedural reasons rather than merit.

Paul also called on state legislatures to “reaffirm” that election law can only be changed by state legislatures, and he suggested that hearings should take place in the future to listen to state legislators and make sure that is happening.

The Kentucky Republican told Starr that this legal aspect should be heard by the courts and stated that roughly two dozen states made changes to when and how ballots are counted against the will of state legislatures.

Starr said election laws were “flagrantly violated” in Pennsylvania, which President Trump’s legal team has vehemently argued, and Paul agreed with that assessment.

“The legal question there is a very easy one to decide,” Paul said. “Even as a physician, I can figure out that the secretary of state cannot create law.”

He added: “I think there is a lot of work to be done.”

Kentucky Republican Rand Paul told Ken Starr that roughly two dozen states made changes to aspects of when and how ballots are counted.
This thwarted the will of state legislatures who are the only ones charged w/ making changes to election law.

Rand said this legal aspect should be heard by courts who have refused to get involved in election fraud.

I agree.
“Our side” should stop asking the court to establish that fraud happened.
Election laws were improperly created outside the legislature.
Ask the court to decode based on the State’s Constitution and the US Constitution.

Standing is a threshold issue that is addressed before the merits can be considered, like jurisdiction. A finding of no standing means the court won’t take the case. There was not a ruling on whether or not there was fraud. That didn’t stop the media from saying the court found there was no fraud. That is a lie.

Nice rant---deserves a repeat.

Ask the court to decode based on the State’s Constitution and the US Constitution.....not on sour grapes losing memes.

IN THE FUTURE. I never heard him suggest any options to make THIS election honest and true.

-- Its amazing how deep it goes. Dark times. --

The only difference between now and the same game 50 years ago, is now we see it. The government has been "dark" to use your shorthand, for more than a hundred years. It's a playthinhg for the aristocrat class.

Plantation America. Soon to be combined with others.

It's not as though the governments and their hidden puppet masters have been hiding their plans and intentions. They publish.

Although you aren’t active in the same environments I post in, I’ll try to ping you when dropping stuff “over there”.

Meanwhile...@The RealCletus1 on twitter.
Not trying to “grow” my account, just need an outlet before (1) I explode and (2) I lose the thought.
That and they let me use “real” language.

If courts, legislators, and electors claim there is “No evidence..” it’s because they are refusing to look for evidence. I hope that there will be some national forum before January 20th presenting the election fraud.

If it’s a done deal as the RINOS say, let’s review the evidence and let the chips fall where they may. I’m genuinely anxious to hear the explanation for Atlanta’s Black Desk/Ballot incident and a rebuttal to Dr. Linda Lee Tarver’s assessment of Detroit’s chronic election malfeasance.

I think you said it best Travis on last week’s podcast.

The media are the problem. They sanitize everything. They ridicule anyone who objects and must surely coordinate.

Every article “unsubstantiated claims..” etc.

This is an enormously powerful narrative and people accept the media’s assumptions especially when they’re all saying the same thing!

However, despite all this power nearly half of Americans don’t buy it:

This is what they are doing. Refusing to hear the cases so they don’t have to look at the evidence. If they see it then they have to do something about it.

That increasing split between perceived realities is what is driving us toward Civil War.
