    So the new strategy is to claim that the state actually helped voters get their vote counted ? Are you serious ?

    I thought you wanted to count every legal vote ?

    Pennsylvania had almost 7 Million voters in the election who's votes were all counted the highest percentage of the voting age public they have ever had 70.9% of voting age cast their ballots, and their votes were counted.

    If you actually believe that, you obviously fail to understand how the Courts have traditionally applied the "Equal Protection" clause.

    In P.A. the secretary of state already resolved that issue.
    You're tumbling completely of the ladder of sanity wanting to overturn an entire election over a handful of votes and complying with the wishes of a psycho- president who instructed his poll watchers before the election that the democrats would cheat and steal it without a shred of evidence. Many of these affidavits are bonkers, inaccurate and just plain stupid as a result of pyscho-Trump telling poll watchers to look out for cheating and stealing without evidence. These poll watchers weren't trained to look for anything valid. They've clogged up the system with insane claims and ignorant observations and we're not going to overturn or delay an election because of nut cake poll watchers working at Trump's behest.

    Once again:

    Trump's Election (and the 4 years that followed) will go down as:
    The Biggest Desecration of American Domestic Tranquility since the Civil War.

    ^Universally Accepted and Inarguable. :salute:

    That’s fine, throw out the cured ballots — legitimate ballots from actual US citizens that left a date off their ballot or some other tiny irregularities. For a party that loves to disenfranchise voters it fits the narrative.

    While Democrats are trying to get every legal US citizens voice heard Republicans are trying to ignore their voice if their is a stray mark on their ballot.

    It still doesn’t change the election result.

    Also, illegal means their is a specific law against it, which their isn’t, my point still stands.

    ^that's BS.

    Legal votes meet criteria set by laws intended to prevent fraud. If the ballots needed to be cured, then state law should allow it. Change the law through legislature, not court.

    You really need to read the ruling, in full, to understand why the case fails.

    For one thing, Pennsylvania state election code doesn't require or prohibit curing, and guidance was just that - guidance only. In this and other matters county election boards can implement or disregard it as they see fit, having discretion over the actual management of elections - as reflected in the fact that some chose to offer a cure, and some didn't. Crucially, the opportunity to cure didn't deprive anyone of their right to vote. Because it didn't deprive anyone of that right, or even burden that right in any way, the curing option does not (per SCOTUS) have to be uniformly available.

    For another, even if there were an equal protections clause violation, the remedy sought (negating up to 6.8 million votes) would not be available because not only would it fail to remedy their injury, it would be unconstitutional - it would deprive other people of their constitutional right to vote.

    If you failed to abide by the law, you threw out your own votes

    The democratic answer is, "sure" because "we deserve more and better rights". Watch the responses, its inherent in them from the left.

    Actually, it does if the state didn't create that as a cure in the legislation. In the case of PA, they did not, those were local election boards choices, hence the "not everyone in the pool" got to enjoy those standards through out the state, hence the equal protection issue.

    There was no evidence Trump colluded with Russia. All you have is speculation and circumstance, which is nothing. Yet, you believed it wholeheartedly lol.

    Meeks around the nation were shocked by the report that any reasonably minded person already knew found nothing on Trump. These same dems all the sudden hate investigations lmao.

    Every county was told they could, some counties refusing to do so shouldnt invalidate those who did. And how many ballots are we talking about anyway?
