The fatal error is that the NY Statute they cite only applies to elections within the State of New York and not Federal Elections!

But is it a federal election? Looks to me like it's a state election, to determine which slate of Electors the State of New York will send to the Electoral College. Those people vote in a federal election.

You anticipated my point. It could pass court muster I suppose, plus, in New York, Donald Trump could be convicted of being a Martian invader.🤷‍♂️ There appears to be no Constitutional law in New York State ➡ governed by the 40 thieves❗

Decent people must leave New York > likewise Fornicalia 😠

I think the problem for Bragg is that he's only the district attorney for the borough of Manhattan. He doesn't have jurisdiction to bring state crimes. That is the jurisdiction of the Attorney General.

If Bragg is using a state crime as his justification for bootstrapping his expired misdemeanors into felonies, I'd think that Trump has to be found guilty of those crimes first. Bragg can't just assert that Trump committed those crimes to revive his misdemeanors because Trump has the presumption of innocence until found guilty in a court of law. And Bragg doesn't have the jurisdiction to indict on those state charges.
