In Milwaukee they are STILL at it! (New lawsuit)

Why don't they just be honest and say the real reason for this lawsuit, they don't want "dem coloreds" (or use a worse racial epithet) to vote, since they have a habit of voting for the "wrong kinds." partly /s

New lawsuit claims ballot drop boxes were illegal

Suit asks Wisconsin Elections Commission be prevented from certifying state's election results

MILWAUKEE —
A new lawsuit is asking that the Wisconsin Elections Commission be prevented from certifying the state's election results.

The suit claims ballot drop boxes that were used in some communities were illegal and that those ballots should not be counted.

The lawsuit asks for either a new vote, or for state lawmakers to choose electors to decide the election.

1. I'm sure we all know what "kind" of neighborhood those drop boxes were

Can you imagine if Slow-Walker were still in office?

Waukesha County would have one on every street corner - and Dane and Milwaukee, one each for the whole county, in some alley somewhere.

Trump would even hire thugs to mug people trying to drop off their ballots - like he allegedly did with apartment buildings he was trying to demolish in the '80s.

3. You've got that right! Thank goodness Walker's gone.

He's been rearing his head often lately, like he might be looking to see if he could run again.

I get really upset by his posts, not because he posts scripture about how Republicans are right according to the Bible, but just that he's waiting for an opportunity to come back.

4. Remember how Walker got burned by his own rule he set in place intended for the "other guy"?

That was almost as delicious as seeing tRump lose again and again and again and again and again....

5. I don't remember that, Blue Owl. I remember Walker was a dictator's ass, but I don't

remember a rule he put in place that backfired.

6. The rule was something where there had to be a certain vote margin to allow a recount

But when he lost to Gov. Evers, his margin was just outside that number so he couldn't ask for a recount

15. You're right: he's still very much a threat

2018 was the election he couldn't steal (remember the 2016 recount, and how he wouldn't allow computer auditors in despite court orders?)

But if he somehow worms his way back into Madison, he'll never let go.

11. Doesn't matter now anyway

Of the states where lawsuits were filed, only Arizona and Wisconsin are left to certify. Neither will bat an eye at these worthless lawsuits but even if they got delayed in the electoral count, its not enough to turn the election over.

10. Yet another lawsuit to be thrown on the trash pile

Garbage. Nothing changed in the recount except Biden's lead widened by 87 additional votes.

12. Pretty sure that's a new report of an existing lawsuit.

They don't give a link to the complaint, so I can't tell for sure. But the substance is the same as one filed on Friday (if I've got my days straight).

It's part of the Kraken collection of suits.
