Never seen an election where the judiciary, either in states, or the federal would be playing such a vital role. We do not know which republican lawsuits in which states will win the day, let alone how many ballots or 'ballot denials' those specific cases will include. Maybe Trump's victories in his challenges will impact 300 votes in two states. Maybe they will impact thousands or tens of thousands of votes across the country. When a ballot is excluded because of process issues, all the votes cast on that ballot are excluded including votes for Senator, Congressman, Governor, District court judge, State Treasurer, and Water commissioner - and then there is all those measures. That's why this is still unpredictable despite the polling. That's also why a lot of potential litigants with standing to sue will have a motive to sue, other than Donald Trump and writing amicus briefs for each other. We have to overwhelm all over the country, in every jurisdiction, regardless of ballot, or process. And we had better be willing to reach into our pockets to donate to fund our own legal challenges. The DNC and local democratic party branches do not have the money to pay for top legal representation for all these appeals, just sitting around. Most of it is being spent to win hearts and minds.
Evidently you haven’t been paying attention. The Democratic Party and the Biden campaign have assembled the largest ‘election protection program’ on record. Hell, even FoxNews has reported on it’s creation and size. It’s massive and massively funded for the “nightmare scenario” all the way down through the system. They’ve known who they’re dealing with for quite a long time.
This is just a guess, but it seems to me that there are hundreds of liberal attorneys who would take this sort of thing on pro bono if necessary. I would, if I were one.
This is a situation which should demonstrate perfectly the folly or even danger of a system of mail in voting.
Right-o! Enough with the early voting and assorted crappola, absentee ballots and in person, PERIOD!!! Let the states run their state elections any way the voters will put up, for Presidential elections UNIFORM RULES across the board!!!
Election law is pretty specialized. Just any attorney may not be effective who does not work in this field. And its a lot harder to find a lawyer pro bona for a case that is inevitably going to be appealed several times. Much bigger time commitment
The Democrats sue everyone they can when they lose an election - why shouldn't the Republicans? The electorate has the right to equal protection under the law; any and every state election needs to be held to that standard, if elections are to mean anything. I'm sure you agree.
After winning the election, Joe Biden says he'll "shut down the virus". How will he do that? Does a virus care about the US president may be at any one time? Also, how will he cure cancer as he claimed? Has cancer research been shut down since Trump was elected?
I think Biden was told by his handlers that if he wins the election then the nation's leftist-allied media outlets will instantly declare the pandemic 'under control'; and then report nothing but good news on that front, no matter what. Look how close Dementia Joe came to spilling the beans in that regard.
