That’s what’s so insidious about this situation.
It appears, based on laws and precedents, that it’s nearly impossible to prove malfeasance or fraud in elections. At least to the point where a judge would consider overturning the results.
The Republicans need to come up with a more modern solution.
Unless some insider actually spills the beans, nothing will happen. And odds are they would assume room temperature before they even could get the word out.
A "more modern solution" to electoral election law basically unadvanced since the Rutherford B Hayes election (The "Hayes-Tilden crisis")?
The "more modern solution" would be for Trump to full-court press for a Constitutional Convention.
Trump-tied conservatives are 15 states away from an unprecedented rewrite of the Constitution
Since when is it required to prove the law was “intentionally” broken by the bad guys?
Maybe I’m just old fashioned, but I clearly remember the days when the issue was whether you broke the law or not. Not whether you “intended” to break the law, or that the opposing party “proved” that you intended to.
Gee, I’ll have to try this with my next traffic stop..”honest, officer..I didn’t INTEND to speed/run the ‘pink’ light” etc. So I’m good to go, right? /sarc
Methinks the bigger issue is that the judge was threatened to make the “right” judgement. Far more plausible than dismissal because Lake did not “prove” the bad guys “intentionally” broke the law. Her lawyers clearly demonstrated that the law WAS BROKEN. Ah, for the good ole’ days when that mattered..
