Still would though, tbf.

Amazingly the objection to the result in PA was rejected.

Watch out for the latest lie they will try to push, that these were not actually trump supporters, but others posing as trump supporters.

Biden's win certified.

Trump

Off you fuck.

Sorry, are you now saying Trump didn't lose 60 court cases? Or are you just moving on, ignoring that detail so you can repeat it again tomorrow? The Supreme Court was OBLIGED to hear Texas' case, as stipulated by the Constitution and supported by recent precedent. It failed in its fundamental role, as an arbiter for the states when the states are in dispute. Bar a single lower court presided over by a judge with courage, almost every other court avoided the issue by using technical grounds for dismissal to avoid hearing the case. Some of these rulings were maybe technically correct, but far from all of them. Some were outright contradictory. It has nothing to do with evidence and everything to do with technical avoidance that denied Americans their rightful day in court. That was the most obvious route to a peaceful and constructive resolution. The fact NO recourse has been permitted is instructive.

The key thing the Texas case argued was that the four states they sued, changed their way they can collect votes which was unconstitutional even though it was due to the pandemic.

What the Texas case did not was sue all states that changed their ways as some changed their methods & voted trump still.

My favourite part of that case was when asked why they waited so long to file the case they were like
"Well, we didn't know the result before"

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

Take North Carolina for example. They allowed mail in ballots to be counted if they arrived within 9 days of the election (subject being sent on or before Election Day).

Now, they were not sued by Texas nor has Trump or any other republican alleged fraud in that state which is not surprising given Trump won the state.

however, Trump & republicans have complained that Georgia, Pennsylvania etc allowed ballots to arrive within 3 days and how that was fraud and they should be rejected.

[GP]

Strongly agree.

Another media talking point that has zero relevancy in law as the case was presented and in light of previous cases that had already been dismissed on standing (essentially demonstration of harmed/ aggrieved status). You can't sue a party that hasn't caused you harm, even if their behaviour is reckless or harms others. Not only that, but the argument was not related to the procedures that had changed, but who changed them (the entirely valid constitutional argument which SCOTUS, to its eternal discredit, ducked). In a supreme twist of irony, in relation to the supposed legal argument from the left, SCOTUS then dismisses on... standing!? Absolutely bonkers.
