IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS TYLER DIVISION

This civil action seeks an expedited declaratory judgment finding that the elector dispute resolution provisions in Section 15 of the Electoral Count Act, 3 U.S.C. §§ 5 and 15, are unconstitutional because these provisions violate the Electors Clause and the Twelfth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

What does this mean, in plain English?

Sorry, my car has stopped working, so the last few days, I’ve been up before 3:00AM to get to work on time and my brain is foggier than normal. Almost like jet lag.

Thanks.

Hail Mary !

“ Section 15 of the Electoral Count Act unconstitutionally violates the Electors Clause by usurping the exclusive and plenary authority of State Legislatures to determine the manner of appointing Presidential Electors, and instead gives that authority to the State’s Executive. Similarly, 3 USC § 5 makes clear that the Presidential electors of a state and their appointment by the State Executive shall be conclusive. “

fraudulant votes = fraudulent electorial votes. VP has the power to reject those fraudulent electoral votes.

I guess this means that Pence must have no plans to question the Electors on January 6th...?

I think that it is sort of like shooting at a B-52 with an M-16. Much better than throwing rocks, and the best option at hand in many cases.

Those who can’t do even this should refrain from throwing rocks at those using M-16s.

AND PRAY.

Phillip Kline (liberty univ.) on twit:
Our recent lawsuit seeks to ensure that the Vice President and Congress do not count Presidential elector votes from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, until those states’ legislature are able to meet in a joint session to vote to certify their electors.

Governors do not have a right to certify election results through fiat. The Constitution gives state legislatures alone the right to certify Presidential electors.

Or perhaps trying to give Pence legal cover.

This case is designed to get thumped out of court. The strategy behind this is to get courts on record that they need to stay out of election-related disputes. Of course, that has been established time and again by multiple courts. But see the difference here? Now the courts will rule that they can not interfere with the methods of how the VP counts Electoral Votes.

Now who might be filing a case against VP Pence on January 7, 2021 challenging how Electoral Votes are counted? That case will suffer the same fate as this one.

Basically, we have no laws governing our elections. Pence will get to do what he wants to do.

The Constitution gives state legislatures alone the right to certify Presidential electors.

Those state legislatures did determine the process of certifying electors when they passed their states' respective election laws.

If they want a do-over they need to change those laws.

Very bold. I suppose that may be exactly what their thinking is. This is going to be a wild ride.

Good for Louie and the AZ brave Pubbies.

Hope this holds, and....that VP Pence rejects any fraudulent slate of electors.
