The nuclear option gets wheeled into view: Trump's Nevada electors sue to have him declared the winner of a state that he lost, or else the presidential race's results should be annulled https://cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/press_assets/nov-17-doc-2.pdf…

1. Yep, they are gonna do it.

BE prepared for civil war.

[servermsh]

2. Disgusting!

They are attempting a coup!

Trying to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes in PA.

Local Republican fascists refusing to certify Wayne County, Michigan.

Suing to be awarded the electors in Nevada, even though they lost.

Pressuring Georgia officials to throw out ballots.

This is a coup!

[Aristus]

4. Calm down there, cowboy.

You don't think Biden's legal team is going to get this thrown out like all of the other nuisance suits?

Trump's legal team has been comically inept at filing this suits.

[servermsh]

9. Yeah, meanwhile this encourages the street fascists with the guns to march

[Aristus]

14. Everything encourages the street fascists with guns to march.

They have no other way of living an unfulfilled life.

[CatWoman]

29. LOL

Ain't that truth?

Also, I'm really annoyed at the way people always interpret the reaction(s) of the other side based on actions deployed by our side.

Fuck them and the horse they rode in on.

[Aristus]

34. Hey CatWoman!

Good to see you!

[CatWoman]

49. Hey Babe

ALWAYS good to see YOU!!!!

[dware]

12. Settle down,

Biden's lawyers will have this thrown out just like the vast majority of other lawsuits the R's have brought before the courts.

I do believe that the NV legislature can have those electors removed as faithless electors and appoint new ones that will follow the will of the people.

[a kennedy]

3. WTF???

[mr_lebowski]

5. When you say 'the nuclear option' that kinda implies 100% chance of victory ...

What are the ACTUAL chances something like this will fly before a judge?

[dware]

6. Pretty much zero. nt

[mr_lebowski]

11. So you're sayin' there's a chance? nt

[dware]

18. LOL.

There's always a chance, but the odds of this succeeding are slim to none, and slim has already left the station.

[mr_lebowski]

19. So more like 1 in a million?

Phew ...

[dware]

21. Maybe 1 in a billion. nt.

[sheshe2]

16. Bingo.

[mopinko]

7. the judge is gonna say-

shut the fuck up, donnie. you're out of your league.

[mr_lebowski]

8. and also your element?

[ananda]

15. Do they even have standing?

This sounds ridiculous on its face.

[bearsfootball516]

24. It doesn't. It's gonna get laughed out of court the minute it's introduced.

[JudyM]

10. USA! USA!

If only they knew what democracy actually is.

[SlogginThroughIt]

37. They have convinced millions we are not a democracy.

[Roland99]

13. Laughable. The electors selected by the state's winning party get the say

They have ZERO legal standing. The suit will last as long as a fart on a windy day

[Cha]

22. Well that's Good! Do you know what the hell

Biden's lawyers are going to be able to do about the board deadlocked in Wayne County, Michigan & not certifying Biden's Win?

TY!

[LiberalFighter]

31. Goes to the Secretary of State's office and Board of State Canvassers.

A county board that fails to canvass within 14 days after the election must give all of its documentation to the Secretary of State's office and Board of State Canvassers, which then has 10 days to complete the work, canvass and certify the results, according to the board’s canvassing manual.

Wayne County must pay for the state canvassing work, according to board guidance.

35. Exactly..here's a message from MI SOS

[dware]

41. Thank you for this information.

[Cha]

42. P.S. Kasper.. does this mean the Votes

are Going to get Certified eventually?

[dware]

43. Mahalo Cha.

The way I'm reading this is that they will get certified, just not as quickly as it should be.

[Thekaspervote]

46. Agree, seems it's just a formality

Bottom line, if they file suit or the Dems file suit..well ya gotta have proof. They have none

[Cha]

48. Aloha, dware..

Thankfully! Whew.. That was a whirlwind of depression.. Thanks to Kasper & other DUers for coming up with Solutions!

[Cha]

39. TY LiberalFighter! So there's hope

since Michigan's SOS is a Dem, Jocelyn Benson?

[Roland99]

17. BTW, trump/GOP lost today in PA. They're now 1-25

20. Sounds like Rudy is getting his clock cleaned by a federal judge in PA right now.

[Roland99]

50. Geeeezus. Just read that whole thing. Rudy needs serious mental help

And he is as much a lawyer as I am. I could spout terms too

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Do people actually expect this to be more successful than other frivolous lawsuits?

I don't really understand how this sort of thing works, so if there's anything to it, I hope someone can explain it to me.

[Thrill]

25. So what's the point of having an election?

[teach1st]

26. MI Secretary of State statement

30. Wow! Problem solved ... calmly and clearly.

Well done, Michigan. You have a good SoS.

[crickets]

33. Thanks for that. nt

[Thekaspervote]

38. Beat me to it!! Thx

[Fiendish Thingy]

27. And they will be completely ignored by the SOS and Governor. Nt

[russiamommy]

28. And they say it's the Dems that are trying to steal the election?

None of this will go anywhere, but the irony is incredible.

[Buns_of_Fire]

32. Maybe they should sue to have the Constitution declared unconstitutional. nt

[KY_EnviroGuy]

36. Trump is only doing this to keep his base's adrenaline out the roof....

and he'll be screaming "stolen election" every day for the next four years, IMO. People who are in a constant rage will never seek alternate answers or be rational.

He and the GOP are simply solidifying the division of America, getting their wagons in a circle and insuring everyone is well contained in their info bubble for four years of "the other" political mode.

Right-wing media will maintain their voice.....

Next, they will attack the judges that threw them out of court......

[David__77]

44. Here's the author of that legal document.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/shana-weir/

[pecosbob]

45. The document begins like this...

This election contest arises from the substantial irregularities, improprieties and fraud that occurred in Nevada's 2020 general election for the president of the United States.

That's going to be a bit difficult to prove. To the best of my knowledge the only case of voter fraud that occurred in Nevada was a Republican voter.

[Thekaspervote]

47. Just a little thing called evidence..judges seem to take unkindly to this kind of nonsense

Rudy was told today that his claims were disgraceful, that it appeared he was working on some fantasy reality.
