Californians challenge Biden’s 55 electoral votes in court
Press California ^ | 1/6/21 | Richard Stenger

Posted on 01/06/2021 7:54:19 AM PST by TedMartin

LOS ANGELES — Ten congressional candidates from California filed a civil action in federal court this week, charging Gov. Gavin Newsom with overseeing an unconstitutional and fraudulent November general election.

The complaint, which includes hundreds of sworn eyewitness reports of election code violations, irregularities and fraud, seeks to decertify the 55 electoral votes that the state awarded to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Other named defendants in the suit, filed by the Election Integrity Project-California in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, include Attorney General Xavier Becerra, whom Biden selected for a cabinet post, and Secretary of State Alex Padilla, whom Gov. Newsom selected to replace Kamala Harris in the Senate.

‘We had no choice’

“We had no choice but to bring this federal lawsuit in order to restore integrity to the election process,” said EPICa President Linda Paine on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles-based Primary Law Group is representing EPICa as well as ten congressional candidates. They include Eric Early, who lost to incumbent Adam Schiff (D-Hollywood), and James Bradley, who lost to incumbent Ted Lieu (D-LA).

“I promised the citizens of this district [CA 33], if there were any shenanigans in the election, I would sue to perform a forensic audit to protect the rights of all Californians,” Bradley said.

‘Blatant election fraud scheme’

“Secretary Padilla issued last minute regulations that violated California law and the U.S. Constitution in a blatant election fraud scheme. You do not dismantle voter integrity rules unless you want to encourage voter fraud.”

Bradley said the violations included allowing ballot stuffing by allowing any piece of paper to be treated as a ballot.

The other candidate plaintiffs are Aja Smith, Alison Hayden, Jeffrey Gorman, Mark Reed, Buzz Patterson, Mike Cargile, Kevin Cookingham and Greg Raths.

700 sworn affidavits

The 44-page legal filing, which includes more than 700 signed affidavits, contends that the state election practices promoted the casting of illegal and unreliable ballots, thereby violating the Fourteenth Amendment.

EPICa has investigated and reported on election abuses for ten years. Rather than correcting the flaws, state officials have created more opportunities for fraud and manipulation in 2020, the group said. Many dead people, non-citizens and non-residents were sent live ballots. Predictably, many were recorded as having voted in November.

“The 2020 election eviscerated citizen oversight, caused mass irregularities and opportunities for fraud, and violated the rights of lawful voters, citizen observers and candidates,” the nonpartisan, organization said in a statement.

Evidence tampering concerns

Joshua Kroot, an attorney with the Primary Law Group, said the lack of election fairness “strikes at the heart of our republic.”

Unless action is taken soon, the same troublesome regulations and practices will remain in effect in the next California election, scheduled for March.

Due to the possibility of tampering, evidence must be preserved and made available to the plaintiffs experts, Kroot said, so that an audit can be conducted to determine the extent of the irregularities and fraud reported.

Decertification would void Biden win

In recent weeks, election investigators have brought up related concerns. The majority of California counties use Dominion voting systems, which have been linked to suspicious irregularities favoring Biden in presidential battleground states.

And in California, according to a data fraud auditor, as many as 1.7 million to 5 million votes for Biden were suspect.

In the unlikely event the plaintiffs succeed in decertifying California’s 55 electoral votes, it would drop Biden’s presumed margin of victory below the 270 vote threshold needed to become President. Congress is scheduled to officially certify the electoral votes today.

Good!! This is wonderful.

My brother was watching in NYS on election night and he said the counting stopped there, along with PA, GA, WI, etc. So many there believe NY actually went for Trump if the counting had been honest.

The CA election is UNLAWFUL because non of their ballots had language required by its state election laws on them.

This is only good if it is litigated, appealed and settled finally by COB today.

Otherwise, it's Kabuki.

Good luck with that. Because once the newly “elected” folks are sworn in the courts will probably rule the lawsuit moot.

This could add to the time needed for debate between now and 1/20.

That’s a good thing.

You’re absolutely right; all you said is true. However it is SOMETHING — a start. We lived in CA, and I don’t think this would have happened in the recent past there.

Why? There are more R's there than in any state, there are just more D's.

Good.

Quiet a few of us, who have voted for decades in California and seen losses for decades, have wondered:

Have the dems massively cheated in previous California elections?

California is the center of electoral fraud. The permanent left governing class have been steadily manipulating and tweaking their system for fraud, but 2020 put California into Saddam Hussein/Kim Jung Un election territory

-7 million mail-in ballots
- sent to everyone on DMV rolls (including illegals)
- no verification of voter rolls whatsoever (in 2019 LA county had to be sued to remove 1.5 million clearly fraudulent names)
- Ballot harvesting by special interest groups allowed, and even funded
- no steps to verify authenticity, signatures or address on ballots when tabulated

Unchecked, fraud will continue and California’s slide into leftist-ideologue monopoly and insanity will continue

What Happens When The Democrats Seize Control Of The Federal Government

[quote]

LOOKING PAST JANUARY 6th

Now let’s look past January 6th. And let’s imagine that the United States Supreme Court issues an order after its January 8, 2021 conference, stating that no votes in Pennsylvania can be counted which arrived after the time set by its Legislature for the Presidential Election to end, which was 8 P.M., Nov. 3rd. And let’s assume that two other states see their results overturned by their Legislatures, or the Supreme Court, after January 6th, but before January 20th? What happens then?

Read the Twentieth Amendment, § 3:

“If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President…”

That’s the Constitution of the United States, folks. Nobody knows what that means, because the United States Supreme Court hasn’t fully interpreted Section 3 yet.

But understand this: the Pennsylvania GOP case has been “DISTRIBUTED for conference 01/08/2021" at SCOTUS. So maybe the Court will interpret Section 3 soon enough. Until January 20th, high noon, we are in muddy Constitutional waters.

LOOKING PAST JANUARY 20th

After a wrongful election, where one candidate takes office, there’s always the possibility of a Writ of Quo Warranto. Some have argued that only impeachment and conviction in the Senate can remove a sitting President President. But if you get a Writ of Quo Warranto issued, that means the White House occupant it’s issued against was never actually President. Their holding the Office of President becomes a nullity. The person has not technically been “removed” from office, but rather, a Writ of Quo Warranto acts as if that person was never President to begin with.

There is a line of cases that issue Writs of Quo Warranto for false election results caused by fraudulent or faulty tabulation machines, after the wrong person takes office:

“Challenges to the outcome of a general election based upon alleged voting machine malfunctions necessarily fall within the purview of quo warranto.” Matter of Delgado v. Sunderland, 97 N.Y. 2d 420 (2002), 767 N.E. 2d 662.

Here is the federal Quo Warranto statute:

“A quo warranto may be issued from the United States District Court for the District of Columbia in the name of the United States against a person who within the District of Columbia usurps, intrudes into, or unlawfully holds or exercises, a franchise conferred by the United States or a public office of the United States, civil or military.”

If President Trump has the will to keep fighting, then this horrific saga in United States election history still has a very long road to go before the final result is determined.[/quote]

“Why? There are more R’s there than in any state, there are just more D’s.”

I wasn’t talking about the outcome of a vote. I meant that the Rs wouldn’t have had the balls to take a stand and make an objection. They’d have wimped out and rolled over to be trampled on. Trump has shown that that it’s OK to be bold.

Nothing wrong with asking questions about what the Secretary of State did in CA...

However, CA is a liberal state.

Many conservatives left CA for other states...

Joe Biden did not need extra help to win in CA...

I am sorry...President Trump is not very popular in CA...
I am disappointed that many CA voters dislike Trump...But, that is the reality...

Joe Biden will keep the electoral votes from CA...No judge will throw out those votes...
