McEnany gives an efficient sound bit on a case about ballot curing. Even where ballot curing is legal it is not illegal to treat Republican and Democrat ballots differently because it violates the Equal Protection clause. It's also not legal to open the ballots before election day. There's an affidavit saying the poll workers did ballot curing in areas that tended Democrat but not ones that tended Republican and may have open the ballots before election day.

It's kind of ingenious argument to work around places where Democrats legalized ballot curing.

We know ballot curing was widespread because CNN reminded people to check if they ballot needed curing before the deadline. Which is after the election

Georgia: Friday, November 6 (Track your ballot here)
Arizona: Tuesday, November 10 (Track your ballot here)
Nevada: Thursday, November 12 (Track your ballot here)
North Carolina: Thursday, November 12 (Track your ballot here)
In Pennsylvania, another key state, rules surrounding the process vary by county, so you should still check your ballot status if you voted there and contact officials if you're worried about an issue.

At least in PA, the state legislature disputes the fact that ballot curing is 'legal in some counties'.

The National Conference of State Legislatures has this list of states that allow ballot curing

And this list of ones with 'temporary rules'

It's fair to say if those temporary rules were made by some literally who like Kathy Boockvar and not the state legislature the Republicans will dispute that the rule is valid.

The thing I really like about attacking it from an equal protection angle is that even if ballot curing is legal, it's still not legal to discriminate. Also violating the equal protection clause is a historical reason for sending in Federal troops to break heads under the Insurrection Act like things were done back in the Good Old Days.

Honestly it is looking like Fox may be vindicated. Trump is just not putting up the needed numbers.
If it turns out their wild guess was right after a week of counting they are not vindicated in the slightest. If my magic 8 ball gets a prediction right, is its psychic power vindicated?

The logic and math used to call arizona was bad, this is why it was a bad call.
 
We could be living on Mars or deep beneath the crust of Uranus by now. Instead, this.

Fully automated luxury space capitalism would be within our grasp. The Weyland-Yutani Corporation hand in hand with the US Colonial Marine Corps, building a brighter future for mankind in spaaaaaaaaaace
 
It’s still sad America can’t do it properly in thier own country.
To be fair, most of the country hasn't had any practice for at least 50 years. We were a storied franchise with a winning tradition back in the 1800s and early 20th Century, and with just enough elbow grease from DNC, we can turn this losing streak around!
 
I don't remember the numbers exactly, but in those very specific cities this phenomenon was noticed Biden had something like ten times the national average of president-only ballots. I'm sure someone mentioned it earlier in the thread, but I don't think anyone can be fucked searching through 1800 pages to find it.
You'd think if they were going to cheat they wouldn't half-ass it. That's Democrats for ya.

This is just out of fucking hand. If you can't figure it out with written instructions and volunteers willing to help, then why the fuck is anyone taking you seriously?
 
Evidently, if Trump doesn't give a concession speech to Biden, it will go to due process with Congress. When it gets to Congress, that's one vote per state. So the election results mean nothing, it's up to Congress now.

This will be interesting.
Lol what? Concession speeches have no role in determining the next president.

If there aren't 270 electors for a candidate, that's when it goes to congressional state delegations, which is controlled by the state legislatures certifying the election results.
 
So it's over?
The opposite. They just disobeyed a direct order from the supreme court and then publicly destroyed any chance of their being able to walk back that disobedience. PA is completely and utterly fucked when the supreme court takes the case. The state legislature will likely pick the electors now.

Lol what? 270 isn't a magic number, it's whoever has the most electors. It's if the College and the Senate fail to figure out who has the most votes that it goes to the house delegation.

EDIT: The above information is factually fucking wrong. See this post for accurate information.

One could argue that there is now no chain of custody. For the entire vote.

It's not over until December 14th. Only then is it over.

Alright. Not trying to be a doomer, but reality always has a way of fucking over the average person.
