(11,990 posts)we don't really know if they actually voted trump or not
in mich the recount couldn't happen in 150 precincts because there were more votes than voters...and mich law says in that case the original machine print out stands
but I digress from the original reason I wanted to reply to you
ty for the detailed analysis on the dnc lawsuit
I found this especially interesting...
A new case could be brought but would probably still have a problem with reliance.
A new case in a Florida or DC court would not have the problem of the restrictive rules of federal subject matter jurisdiction. For the fraud claims, however, there would still be the issue of reliance. Even a court of general jurisdiction might grant a motion to dismiss if the allegations from this first case are just repeated.
To get around this problem, the plaintiffs might have to find additional representative plaintiffs who can allege reliance. That means finding at least one donor who was sufficiently well informed to know that the DNC promised neutrality, but who was at the same time so ignorant as not to know that the DNC Chair had been a national campaign co-chair for Hillary Clintons 2008 campaign and that she was clearly favoring Clinton this time. There may well be no such donor. Its a somewhat unlikely parlay of knowledge and ignorance.

sad day when a major political party can commit fraud as long as they are so blatant that anyone can see it
