The Trump campaign says that its first amended complaint "inadvertently withdrew" large sections devoted to their (unsubstantiated) observer claims due to "confusion caused by the withdrawal of [their] lead counsel." Don't miss the footnote. https://courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057.170.0_1.pdf…

The Trump campaign's proposal--literally I am not making this up--is that *THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN* will obtain and count all or a subset of the Pennsylvania mail ballot envelopes and, based on the formula in footnote 3, let the judge know if he should declare them the winner.

1. So are the envelopes saved?

And if so how do you discern who won by looking at them? No votes are on the envelopes.

[Saboburns]

3. I fear you're over thinking this

It's not common we let one side count the ballots in America.

Not common at all.

11. Their purpose is to delay, not win their cases

If they can delay past the certification deadline, I think the state legislature decides who wins — and in Pennsylvania it’s controlled by Republicans (thanks to 2010 gerrymandering).

23. Or "obtain" the ballots - NOT NORMAL EITHER. nt

[Saboburns]

26. Very uncommon.

Very uncommon indeed.

2. Fucking dictators want to be's

They can ALL go to fucking hell!!!

[LSFL]

4. Whatever happened to states rights?

Don't the states run their own elections to prevent this tomfoolery?

[mr_lebowski]

5. And now RUDY is going to show up to court to try to argue this?

Oh, this is going to be fucking HILARIOUS.

#KoupKlutzKlan FTW!!!

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Hard To Believe There's Truly A Legal Basis

Especially given this side keeps getting suits tossed out.
A continual fishing expedition.

[MissMillie]

7. This is the kind of "legal" advice that $20K/day gets you?

They've filed this motion already?

Anyone want to take a bet that the entire courtroom erupts into laughter if Rudy gets to argue this one?

8. And people in Hell want ice water

[Roland99]

10. Quite the crack(house) legal team!

[madaboutharry]

12. It is the great "Envelope/Ballot Matching Game!"

It's Trump's next reality show.

[Grasswire2]

13. DO NOT LET THEM OBTAIN EVIDENCE -- we've been warned about that since 2016

Do not let the Trump team take it. No No No No No

[Cameliano]

14. They love to lose

Elections and lawsuits alike.

[louis-t]

15. They should send him only his votes.

His head will explode.

[Thekaspervote]

16. So I will look at the votes or vote envelopes and I will determine who won..um kay

[Iliyah]

17. Not going to happen . ..

next.

[MineralMan]

18. Is this some kind of joke? Get out of my courtroom!

[nebby70]

19. why does this one smack of having been dreamed up while alcohol was involved??

[Nevilledog]

20. Right?

[dalton99a]

21. Nice way to select a president

[BlueIdaho]

22. Not No - but Fuck No!

[lindysalsagal]

24. Right. PA is up something like 80k votes.

So there were 90k incorrectly tabulated votes. Of course, there were. In frump's alternate universe.

[spanone]

25. Naw, let the Biden campaign do it.

[lindysalsagal]

27. Not for nothing but in pa if the legislature tried to void the vote

Civilians would surround the legislature and lock them in until they relented. The legislature knows this.
