Is it legal to hold a national Republican only pre-election? I believe that a pre-vote would establish a baseline for analyzing and comparing election numbers from each state to the actual election. Although it may not prevent cheating this could provide data to challenge a future media narrative.

Any thoughts ?

“was ordered to pay the sum by a private arbitrator,
Meaningless fake news gaslighting.”

An arbitrator that:
* Lindell’s contract insted on using
* Lindell approved

If he lost it’s his own fault

“Who is duped?”

It is very clear that the election was stolen. It is also clear that the Deep State had been planning this for years and that plan included a campaign of distraction and disinformation against conservatives.

They fed useful idiots like Lindell and Powell fake info in the hope that we would spend our time looking into hacking from China and secret servers in Germany.

Every hour we spent digging into that nonsense was one less we could spent on the real targets. Even worse the fake nonsense discredited the real discoveries of fraud.

> Thus, a contract was created by the offer and acceptance, and Lindell has to abide by it and pay what he promised. <

There must also be “consideration”. Each side in a contract must give up an agreed-upon something. For example, I offer you $1 for a candy bar. You accept. I give up $1. You give up the candy bar. A contract.

But suppose I say that I’ll pay you $1,000 if the Mets win their next game. You offer nothing in return. Not a contract. I don’t have to pay you even if the Mets win.

I’m not a lawyer. But that’s my understanding.

It’s the servers that matter, the machines are just dumb terminals more or less. It’s who manages the servers that is critical as data can be doctored and in most cases is.

Sure, here is the actual decision:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/documents/a68b42f4-d5dc-4ff9-b34e-84d52fa3fc32.pdf?itid=lk_inline_manual_11

Paragraph 9 of Lindell’s own rules sent disputes to binding arbitration.

Lindell foolishly set himself up for this result. Apart from his losing the arbitration, I’ve had it with this creepy circus barker camping out in some couple’s bathroom hiding behind their medicine cabinet!

“There must also be ‘consideration’.”

There was: $5,000,000. The promise to pay $5,000,000 was the consideration.

Let’s say you want someone to paint your house. You promise to pay a house painter $10,000 to paint your house. He paints your house. You owe him $10,000. A signed contract is not necessary: The fact you offered to pay someone for doing something, and he did it, obligates you.

Offer...Acceptance...Consideration. Contract.

“It’s the servers that matter,”

None of the tech matters.

There are millions of paper ballots that have been manually recounted in multiple areas, and they give the same count as the machines.

The only way for the steal to have worked is physical fake paper ballots.

"I performed a simple transformation of the files and found something surprising. The transformations I had performed showed that these files were actually simple Microsoft Word documents containing numbers and gibberish. There was no way for this to be network data or any data related to the election."

So Mike Lindell's documents were as "authentic" as Dan Rather's National Guard documents.

Did you all even read this article? He made a contract to pay $5 million to anyone who could prove his data was bogus. It was proven to be bogus. Therefore, he must pay. What it says right in the excerpt.

And there is plenty of issue with that given millions of ballots just mailed out to anyone on a list without verification of who received it, if they actually are the people who cast the ballot, zero chain of custody from start to finish, etc. More than enough reason for a margin of error in multiple states decided by razor thin margins to call the election into doubt - that is actually a tangible, provable thing. But instead, some people wanted to focus on nonsensical, wild conspiracies without a shred of actual evidence, diminishing and eliminating the credibility of those of us who have very real questions and doubts about that election and giving the media and the Democrats a field day to paint all of us as deranged psychos.

In order to sue someone you have to be wronged. Saying “the election was rigged,” whether you’re talking about the election of 1960, 2016, or 2020, isn’t actionable.

If, on the other hand, someone says, “You, Joe Blow, rigged the election,” then you, Joe Blow, have a claim.
