@Maw I saw an article that explained the PA State Judge Ruling also blocked the certification of down ballot races/measures. So, now the question is could the AG appeal only part of the ruling (the down ballot measures) and let the ruling stand for the presidential race?
@TaLoN132 Apparently your question will be covered today, so no worries!
Cool... No worries... Just curiosities.
Thanks!
Well curiosities will be sated.
(Hopefully!)
what do you guys think will happen in PA?
@Maw So, do you get to celebrate 2 Thanksgivings each year? I'm awfully curious today.
I think that today's show might indicate that they realize that they are unlikely to get anywhere in the courts - especially now that the election has been certified and the slate of electors set. This is a Hail Mary from the opposite end zone. Rudy pleaded with the legislature to invalidate the certified popular vote, but this might not even be possible: https://www.justsecurity.org/73274/no-state-legislatures-cannot-overrule-the-popular-vote/
I don't know anything about this site, but the argument seemed sound to me. It says that since Congress has designated that Electors are to be chosen on 11/3 this year, a state's legislature would have had to have voted on 11/3 on the slate of electors in lieu of a popular vote. Once the state legislature determined the manner it was to be decided - popular vote - the ship has sailed.
Election certification is the trigger to contest elections in the court, not the end.
@DrSammyD Is that true for all states? I know that GA this year, Trump couldn't request a recount until after the certification. In 2000, all of the court cases delayed FL's certification. Once SCOTUS gave the Equal Protection ruling against changing the counting method as part of a selective recount, FL certified immediately and there was talk at the time that the legal hurdle was higher post certification, but that was a long time ago and I am too lazy to look it up.
Most of my close family is in Canada, or Texas/Washington.
so, is this just withheld until a judge can preside over the matter?
As it says in the news: It's enjoined until discovery.
Sort of controversial.
I imagine it's going to be expedited.
@nachik, you just advanced to level 5!
implied 5.5%
For me it's one of those situations where I don't want to hold my breath, but I can't help it.
1 billion traded on Trump bets in Betfair alone - amazing
£1 billion GBP
So Trump got a pass interference call?
On his hail Mary?
even with PA still 17 electoral votes short, so GA or MI are still 1 vote short
3 states is a lot
If he pulls this off, it'll make Bush v Gore look like a small reporting error.
dreams
lol
are any of WI, NV or AZ viable?? pretty long long shot
Rob is on btw
depends if they file for an emergency appeal to the SC Justice overseeing the circuit
odds in betfair up to 6.45%
IF PA flips, I don't see how this doesn't trigger an avalanche...
80K votes
Am I getting ahead of myself thinking today has been a good sign for Trump?
Did you notice all the reporting on this stop?
