In reply to the discussion: Constitutional Resolution if Election Fraud Found [View all]Ms. Toad
(38,655 posts)19. When a complaint is filed,
the general rule is that the complaint gets a hearing. Unlike the Supreme Court, which gets to choose which cases to hear, lower courts don't get to say, "Hey - I don't want to hear this case."
There are exceptions - such as the opposing counsel moves to dismiss the case for lack of jurisdiction, or failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, or a motion for summary judgment is granted. I saw the docket, but couldn't find it earlier when I took a quick look, but I don't believe any dispositive motions were filed - which means the case gets heard.
A hearing on the 27th says next to nothing about the merits of the case.

Unfortunately everything done to suppress the vote, throw out completely valid votes, etc, was legal

I seriously recommend pursuing some meditation and mindfulness exercises. Finding a non-political hobby to pursue.

There simply is no widespread evidence of election fraud. Eventually you gotta move on.

I am actually qualified to make the judgement there is no widespread evidence of election fraud

The problem with that is that you would need 67 votes to convict in the Senate

Once the President takes office, it's too late to redo the election or install the real winner
