The Supreme Court already threw it out, and that tweet is 4 days old.

No, it didn't, there are several active and open cases on their way to the court, including Texas vs. MI, GA, PA, and WI. The point of the tweet is to show video evidence of republican poll watchers being kicked out of buildings so shady things can happen behind the scenes. There's no reason to be non-transparent by force if you're not trying to illegally rig an election, is there? https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/8/texas-goes-supreme-court-challenge-flawed-election/ https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/8/texas-goes-s...

  Sure, and there are almost 50 now that have been tossed out by courts due to lack of any actual evidence. One misleading video does not get to disenfranchise millions of people. But, I'm sure the top-tier legal minds of Rudy and Sidney Powell will come up with solid, irrefutable evidence any day now.

    Assuming they don't die of COVID-19 in the meantime, at least. But yeah, exactly. This is the crack legal team that misspelled "district" on the first line of their "kraken" lawsuit. You can sue for anything. The only way to tell if your suit has merit is winning. You can tell pretty easily that your suit doesn't have merit by getting tossed out of court -- which all of these have.

      No, you can't. Anything this big is going to be challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court. And no, a typo is not a big deal worth spending minutes of our lives over-analyzing. If our laughable press spent more time on investigating fraud than they did typos in 100 page lawsuits, we might actually have a functioning republic.

        The typo is on the _first line_ of the _first page_. If that's not a proxy for a rushed and weak lawsuit, I don't know what is.

    No, there hasn't, the ones that have been thrown out have been minor and thrown out for technicalities (like not filing soon enough), not for lack of evidence. Meanwhile they are progressing through the courts, because as you know, a lower court's ruling is not the last say in our legal system. There's not one misleading video. I linked to a tweet stitching together a dozen clips from various precincts around the country. There are hundreds of these videos. There's hundreds of witnesses. There were hours of testimony given in state legislatures in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia. There's dozens of statistical anomalies cited in the 2020 election data that is indicative of fraud. They subpoenaed video footage from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, that clearly shows Republicans being ushered out of the building at 10PM on the pretense that counting would resume in the morning. As soon as the Republicans are gone, the remaining handful of workers take ballots out of suit cases and run them through the machines: https://www.theepochtimes.com/state-farm-arena-footage-shows-poll-workers-staying-behind-pulling-out-suitcases-with-ballots_3603293.html https://www.theepochtimes.com/state-farm-arena-footage-shows... Keep denying the fraud. That's how you destroy democracy.

      One of these lawsuits will stick any day now, right? > There were hours of testimony given in state legislatures Not in an unbiased court, unsurprisingly, where lying would have actual consequences. > There's dozens of statistical anomalies You mean where the GOP tried to use Benford's law to prove nothing? Or where they mixed up districts across multiple states when attempting to prove there were more votes than residents? > take ballots out of suit cases You mean the official ballot cases that all ballots are stored in? > Keep denying the fraud. That's how you destroy democracy. Take a long, hard look at your media sources. You seem like a smart guy and you've been fed a bunch of stuff by professional grifters and scam artists. This lawsuit is going to disappear like all the others not because there's some grand conspiracy, but that _people actually don't like Trump and didn't vote for him_.
