1. While legal commentators on cable TV and elsewhere are regurgitating the line that none of the suits brought by the Trump campaign would change enough votes to alter the outcome of the election in Pennsylvania, the Obama federal judge made exactly the opposite point

2. — that one aspect of the campaign‘s equal protection argument would cause the rejection of hundreds of thousands of votes.

Trump Campaign Sues Pennsylvania In Hopes State Will Just Declare Him Winner

President Donald Trump’s election campaign filed a revised lawsuit Wednesday asking the Pennsylvania government to simply declare him the winner, days after a previous failed legal battle in the same state.

The new lawsuit alleges GOP poll watchers weren’t allowed meaningful access to observe the vote tallying process. It also requests that the Republican-held state legislature be granted authorization to appoint a suite of electors who would name Trump the victor in the state, according to Politico. Former Vice President Joe Biden was declared the victor in the state with a lead of more than 80,000 votes in the days after Nov. 3, though that result won’t be officially certified until Nov. 23.

Divided Pennsylvania House gives approval for audit of 2020 election
Pittsburg Post Gazette, Nov 20, 2020

<snip>

Democrats attacked the proposal, calling it unconstitutional, damaging to democracy and unnecessary.

Mr. Wolf issued a written statement by email during the debate, saying any audit done by this approach would be “incomplete, duplicative and unreliable.”

The committee is expected to generate a report that is to include, for each county and for the state as a whole:

• For both absentee and mail-in ballots, the number of applications received, the number that were approved by the county board of elections, and the number returned by voters that were subsequently canvassed.

• The number of qualified voters who used provisional ballots.

• The number of applications for absentee ballots from people who were not registered to vote, but subsequently did submit a voter registration application in time for the election — and the same information concerning mail-in ballots.

• For each county, the date and time that the county board of elections began pre-canvassing absentee ballots and mail-in ballots.

Reviews of incidents with voting machines; of “any inconsistent treatment” of mail-in ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day; of any inconsistencies in the way counties processed “deficient” ballots; and of access given to poll watchers and “authorized representatives.”

The link reports a Federal Judge dismissing a lawsuit because allegations of fraud were not credible.  My understanding, which stands to be corrected, is that the "Trump Campaign lawsuit" in PA does not allege fraud, it alleges unequal (hence unconstitutional) treatment of votes.  I believe Rudy Giuliani has already pointed out that multiple lawsuits brought by plaintiffs not connected to the Trump campaign have been dismissed and, inaccurately, reported by the media as legal defeats for Trump.  It is not clear to me that this reported dismissal is the end of the line in PA.

As is normal for Obama Judges, this one will twist any argument into the one he can find against Trump.  No claim of fraud was made, and yet he threw it out because there's no fraud.  That's John Roberts level spinning.  We'll be seeing this all the way to the SCOTUS.  And to the doomsayers, there is time to do it.

-Judge Brann, either out of mass stupidity or deliberate genius, cited the Bognet v. Boockvar PA SC decision for his grounds of dismissal.

-SCOTUS deadlocked 4-4 to overturn Bognet in Oct.

'Without merit': Judge dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania
by Jerry Dunleavy, Justice Department Reporter & Zachary Halaschak, Breaking News Reporter |
 | November 21, 2020 07:25 PM
 | Updated Nov 21, 2020, 08:33 PM

The Trump campaign’s lawsuit seeking to block the certification of Pennsylvania’s election was dismissed with prejudice by a federal court judge on Saturday.

U.S. Middle District of Pennsylvania Judge Matthew Brann made the decision after days of motions filed on both sides and after hearing oral arguments on Tuesday from President Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who took over the case last week.

In a scathing critique of the legal basis for the case, Brann wrote that Trump’s lawyers “ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters” but “this Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated.”

“One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens,” Brann ruled. “That has not happened.”

The judge, an Obama appointee unanimously confirmed by the Senate in 2012, said that the plaintiffs offered “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations.”

Trump Lawyers: Pennsylvania Lawsuit Dismissal Moves Us Closer to Supreme Court

President Donald Trump’s campaign lawyers said Saturday they would file an appeal to the Third Circuit court after a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit to challenge the results of the election in Pennsylvania.

Today’s decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U.S. Supreme Court. Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we’re thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock.

The judge assumes (without evidence) that those seven million voters even exist, or that they, themselves, should they exist, cast those ballots. In an assertion of fraud, the matter contested includes the existence of the very voters the judge claims are being disenfranchised.

According to the order, Trump’s “motion for emergency expedited review is granted at the direction of the court.”

Their brief now needs to be filed by 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23, and more have to be filed by 4 p.m. on Tuesday. “The court will advise if oral argument desired,” it said.

Pennsylvania’s 67 counties are scheduled to certify their election results by the end of Monday before sending them to state election officials.

Last week, a math professor who specializes in analytic number theory wrote in a sworn affidavit that he flagged up to 100,000 ballots in Pennsylvania of potential fraud.

“I estimate that the number of ballots that were either requested by someone other than the registered Republican or requested and returned but not counted range from 89,397 to 98,801,” Miller said in the sworn statement (pdf), according to Just The News.

Pennsylvania Legislative Committee Shuts Down Election Audit Request

Joshua Caplan 23 Nov 2020

Pennsylvania state lawmakers on Monday turned down a formal call for the 2020 election to undergo an audit as President Donald Trump continues to challenge the key battleground state’s election results.

Quote
A bipartisan, bicameral legislative service agency on Monday, in a rare move, rejected a request from the House of Representatives to conduct a statistical-level review of the conduct of 2020 general election. The Legislative Budget & Finance Committee officers voted 2-1 against performing the “risk-limiting” audit that was ordered by House Resolution 1100. That resolution, sponsored by Rep. Jesse Topper, R-Bedford County, passed the House on Thursday by a 112-90 vote, with all Republican members and three Democrats supporting it. […] Sen. Jim Brewster and Rep. Jake Wheatley, both Allegheny County Democrats, voted against taking on the audit. Sen. Bob Mensch, R-Montgomery County, favored the committee accept the assignment. Rep. Steve Barrar, R-Delaware County, who is retiring from the House at the end of this month, didn’t participate in the Zoom meeting.

Pennsylvania Legislative Committee Shuts Down Election Audit Request

I think the real question here, is one of how many elected officials owe their jobs to fraud, no matter which side of the aisle they are on. I don't think an honest assessment of that situation would make us happy at all.

And by fraud I don't just mean the lying media acting as propaganda organs to affect how people voted, but actual tampering with, switching, destroying, 'weighing' votes, and stuffing ballot boxes through all the various means ("harvesting", multiple votes, created votes, duplicate ballots, dead voter ballots, stolen ballots, etc.). I believe all of these methods were used, and even multiple methods in the same districts to make it harder to expose the fraud.

Remember, the refuge and first line of defense of these scoundrels has been to perform illegal acts so outrageous that attempts to expose them are dismissed as "conspiracy theory" because to the average LIV or honest person, they sound incredulous.

Trump cancels plans to attend Pennsylvania GOP event on election

President Trump canceled plans on Wednesday to attend an event orchestrated by Pennsylvania Republicans to highlight allegations of election irregularities.

Trump was expected to join Rudy Giuliani and other legal representatives affiliated with his campaign at the event at a hotel in Gettysburg, but it was scrapped at the last moment. The trip was never officially on Trump's schedule, but multiple news outlets reported he planned to make an appearance.

The cancellation came shortly after a campaign adviser, Boris Epshteyn, shared that he had tested positive for coronavirus. Epshteyn was at a news conference last week alongside Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, who were both planning to make the trip to Gettysburg.
ADVERTISEMENT

The Republican Party of Pennsylvania had announced the event would take place at a Gettysburg hotel rather than the state capitol building. Some in the party have pushed allegations of fraud in the vote in the state, but there is no evidence of widespread irregularities.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) on Monday formally signed off on the state's certification declaring Joe Biden as the winner.

You don't need to prove fraud. Broken chain of custody and non-auditable records should nullify votes, whether fraud or simple incompetence.

That is what an audit trail is *for*... Get an audit. Votes that are nonexistent in the audit trail are nullified, as are votes with bad signatures, and questionable markings. That is why the record must be able to be audited.

This is important.  The media, if reporting at all on this, is portraying it as a GOP meeting.

It isn’t journalism if on the front page they editorialize everything from the headline to the lead sentence to the body. I spit on my journalism degree with every news break. Mainstream newsrooms may never recover from the shame they brought onto themselves and to the country. It’s disgusting and disgraceful. Every story since 2015 should have come with a warning disclaimer: Democrat Party Press Release.

When they break the law (what do laws matter to the radical left?)... and destroy the "audit trail" (Hillary got away with it, after all).... how does one go about "proving" it in a court of law, pray tell?
It's called spoliation in legalese and can be used in a court of law to prove culpability.

No kidding.

NOT being snotty or trying to attack YOU,either. I am convinced ANY Dim President could eat a live baby during a televised press conference and never even have it mentioned in the press,never mind have to face arrest or charges.

This does NOT apply to Republican Presidents,who only seem to have to be breathing to have committed several felonies,though.

And like it or not,this is OUR fault because we let them get away with it.

Or have,up to this point,anyhow. Not sure this isn't changing. From what I have seen,there are a LOT of frustrated voters out there these days.

It just might take a while for the dust to settle on this theft.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — President Donald Trump’s legal team suffered yet another defeat in court Friday as a federal appeals court in Philadelphia roundly rejected the campaign’s latest effort to challenge the state’s election results.

Trump’s lawyers vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court despite the judges’ assessment that the “campaign’s claims have no merit.”

“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,” 3rd Circuit Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote for the three-judge panel.

It appears another PA Judge threw out another case after creating a straw man just to burn it down.  Last time, a Judge declared Trump did not prove fraud, when Trump's team did not even try to make that argument.  The arguments made were then left unremarked upon.

Appeals court rejects Trump campaign’s Pennsylvania lawsuit, setting up Supreme Court next

The president's campaign will continue pushing their legal fight toward the Supreme Court


By Sophie Mann

Updated: November 27, 2020 - 3:59pm

   

The Trump 2020 campaign's legal team suffered another blow in court on Friday, as a federal appeals court in Philadelphia rejected the attorneys' effort to contest the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania.

Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote on behalf of the three-judge panel that reviewed the appeal, "Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

Trump's attorneys have vowed to appeal the case to the Supreme Court, despite the round dismissal from the appeals court.

Senior strategy adviser for the Trump campaign Steve Cortes told Just the News that "We will be appealing to the United States Supreme Court, which has always been where we wanted to end up. The sooner the better. We want to make these cases before the high court and we believe we have a compelling argument to make."

The case was argued last week by President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who presented the case that the results of the election had been undermined by widespread voter fraud across Pennsylvania. But Giuliani offered little tangible evidence to fortify his claims.

All three of the judges on Friday's panel of 3rd U.S. Circuit Court judges were appointed by Republicans, including Judge Bibas who is a Trump appointee. Until 2019, President Trump's sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, sat on the court for two decades.

Posted:   November 27, 2020 07:33 PM
From:   Senator Doug Mastriano and Sen. David J. Arnold, Jr., Sen. Michele Brooks, Sen. Mario M. Scavello
To:   All Senate members
Subject:   RESOLUTION: Disputing the 2020 General Election
 
In the immediate future, we will be introducing the following resolution:

**********

A RESOLUTION
 
WHEREAS, Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to prescribe the “Times, Places, and Manner” of conducting elections; and
 
WHEREAS, Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution empowers state legislatures, including the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to direct the manner of appointing electors for President and Vice President of the United States; and

WHEREAS, the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has exercised its authority to establish election administration procedures for the Commonwealth, known as the Pennsylvania Election Code; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires all mail-in ballots to be received by eight o’clock P.M. on the day of the election; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires election officials at polling places to authenticate the signatures of in-person voters; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires mail-in ballots to be received in the office of the county board of elections and makes no mention of "satellite locations" to be solely used for the collection of "mail-in" ballots; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code requires that county boards of elections shall not meet to conduct a pre-canvass of all absentee and mail-in ballots until seven o’clock A.M. on Election Day, during which time defects on mail-in ballots would be identified; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code prohibits the counting of defective absentee or mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Election Code authorizes “watchers,” selected by candidates and political parties, to observe the process of canvassing absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, the Commonwealth conducted an election on November 3, 2020 for federal offices, including selecting electors for President and Vice President of the United States; and

WHEREAS, officials in the Executive and Judicial Branches of the Commonwealth infringed upon the General Assembly’s authority under the United States Constitution by unlawfully changing the rules governing the November 3, 2020 election in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, on September 17, 2020, less than seven weeks before the November 3, 2020 election, the partisan majority on the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania unlawfully and unilaterally extended the deadline for mail-in ballots to be received, mandated that ballots mailed without a postmark would be presumed to be received timely, and could be accepted without a verified voter signature; and

WHEREAS, on October 23, 2020, less than two weeks before the November 3, 2020 election and upon a petition from the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Supreme Court of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ruled that mail-in ballots need not authenticate signatures for mail-in ballots, thereby treating in-person and mail-in voters dissimilarly and eliminating a critical safeguard against potential election crime; and

WHEREAS, on November 2, 2020, the night before the November 3, 2020 election and prior to the prescribed time for pre-canvassing mail-in ballots, the office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth encouraged certain counties to notify party and candidate representatives of mail-in voters whose ballots contained defects; and

WHEREAS, heavily Democrat counties permitted mail-in voters to cure ballot defects while heavily Republican counties followed the law and invalidated defective ballots; and

WHEREAS, in certain counties in the Commonwealth, watchers were not allowed to meaningfully observe the pre-canvassing and canvassing activities relating to absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, in other parts of the Commonwealth, watchers observed irregularities concerning the pre-canvassing and canvassing of absentee and mail-in ballots; and

WHEREAS, postal employees in Pennsylvania have reported anomalies relating to mail-in ballots, including multiple ballots delivered to a single address with unfamiliar addressees, ballots mailed to vacant homes, empty lots, and addresses that did not exist; and

WHEREAS, witnesses testifying before the Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee on November 25, 2020 have provided additional compelling information regarding the questionable nature of the administration of the 2020 General Election; and

WHEREAS, these and other actions of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and other election officials and actions taken at their direction or under their purview resulted in great confusion, the inconsistent application of rules and practices across the Commonwealth, insecurity and uncertainty regarding the collection, handling, storage, pre-canvassing, canvassing, counting, tabulation and reporting of votes and has undermined the legitimacy and accuracy of the vote count arising from mail-in ballots in certain counties in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, the actions of the Secretary of the Commonwealth and others have been contrary to the direction of the Pennsylvania General Assembly regarding the conduct of the November 3, 2020 election for presidential electors in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, there remains ongoing litigation concerning the administration of the November 3, 2020 election in the Commonwealth; and

WHEREAS, in 2016, Pennsylvania’s general election results were certified on December 12, 2016, and on November 24, 2020, the Secretary of the Commonwealth unilaterally and prematurely certified results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors despite ongoing litigation; and

WHEREAS, the Pennsylvania Senate has the duty to ensure that no citizen of this Commonwealth is disenfranchised, to insist that all elections are conducted according to the law, and to satisfy the general public that every legal vote is counted accurately;
 
THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED that the Pennsylvania Senate —
 
1. Recognizes substantial irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing during the November 3, 2020 election; and

2. Finds, based on the facts and evidence presented and our own Board of Elections data, that the Presidential election held on November 3, 2020, in Pennsylvania is irredeemably corrupted; and

3. Disapproves of the infringement on the General Assembly’s sole authority pursuant to the United States Constitution to regulate the selection of Electoral College delegates; and
 
4. Disapproves of and rejects the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s premature certification of the results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors; and
 
5. Declares that the selection of presidential electors and other statewide electoral contest results in this Commonwealth is in dispute; and

6. Directs that, pursuant to our authority granted in Article II of the United States Constitution and the numerous illegal acts committed, encouraged and ignored by the Governor, Secretary of State, and certain election officials, we hereby take back and reserve to the Pennsylvania General Assembly the power to designate Presidential electors for the State of Pennsylvania for the December, 2020 meeting of the Electoral College and withdraw any prior statement or direction to the contrary given by us or any other official or body; and
 
7. Directs the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Governor to withdraw and vacate the certification of presidential electors and to delay certification of results in other statewide electoral contests voted on at the 2020 General Election; and

8. Commands all Presidential electors and other officials to act in conformity with this resolution and not interfere with the authority of the Pennsylvania General Assembly under Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 and under Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the United States Constitution; and
 
9. Urges the United States Congress to recognize and count as the State of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes for President and Vice-President only such electoral votes as are certified directly by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives and the Pennsylvania Senate by subsequent resolution.

Pennsylvania State Judge Upholds Halt To Certification, Finds Likelihood Mail-In Balloting Procedures Violate PA Constitution
Legal Insurrection, Nov 27, 2020 at 11:00pm, William A. Jacobson

Upholds injunction issued earlier in the week, finds “Petitioners appear to have a viable claim that the mail-in ballot procedures set forth in Act 77 contravene Pa. Const. Article VII Section 14”

A Pennsylvania state court Judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing Pennsylvania from taking any further steps to perfect its certification of the election, including but not limited to appointment of electors and transmission of necessary paperwork to the Electoral College, pending further court hearings and rulings. The ruling upholds an injunction from earlier in the week, and is significant because of the findings made in the Opinion released tonight.

The case has been somewhat under the radar, because it doesn’t involve claims of fraud. It appears to be a pretty straight legal argument. This is not the federal court case that has received a lot of press attention and in which the Third Circuit Court of Appeals denied relief.

The issue in this case is whether legislative expansion of absentee balloting to broad mail-in balloting violated the Pennsylvania Constitution. It’s not clear what the relief would be; the petitioners seek to preclude the Secretary of State from transmitting the certification or otherwise perfecting the electoral college selections.

The Judge found, among other things, that the plaintiffs were likely to prevail on their PA constitutional claims, and that the matter was not moot even though PA had “certified” the results, because there were more steps to be taken:  [...]

The Judge expressed grave concern as to what a remedy would be if she were to rule the mail-in balloting unconstitutional, so even if she ruled for the petitioners on the merits, it’s not clear if that would change the result: [...]

The Judge concluded:

Quote
For all of the above reasons, the Court respectfully submits that the emergency preliminary injunction was properly issued and should be upheld pending an expedited emergency evidentiary hearing

This is not a final ruling on the merits. It’s meant to prevent PA from taking more steps until the court finally rules.

Given how the PA Supreme Court has ruled previously on election matters, expanding procedures beyond what even the legislature adopted, I don’t see how this survives the PA Supreme Court. From there, the next stop is the U.S. Supreme Court where we know John Roberts and the three liberal Justice will defer to the state supreme court. But the Court is now 6-3, so a Roberts defection would not result in a 4-4 deadlock again if the 5 conservative Justices voted together.

MEMORANDUM OPINION BY JUDGE McCULLOUGH FILED:November 27, 2020

As this  Court’s November   25,   2020,Order   of   an Emergency Preliminary Injunction has been appealed to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, this opinion shall set forth the basis for said Order and shall also satisfy the requirements of Rule  1925  of  the  Pennsylvania  Rules  of  Appellate  Procedure,Pa.R.A.P.  1925.The overarching consideration for the emergency preliminary injunction pending the evidentiary hearings scheduled for November 27, 2020 is the compelling exigencies raised  in  this  case  which  are  of  statewide  and  national concern.Petitioners  raise matters that go to the core of the electoral process and involve the constitutionality of  how  the  citizens  of this Commonwealth  may  cast  their  votes,  not  only  for  the offices sought by Petitioners, but also,for the office of president and vice president of the United States of America as well as statewide, regional and local offices.On November  21,  2020,  the  Honorable  Mike  Kelly,  Sean  Parnell, Thomas A. Frank, Nancy Kierzek, Derek Magee, Robin Sauter, Michael Kincaid, and Wanda Logan (collectively, Petitioners), filed a Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive  Relief  in  this  Court  against  the  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  the Pennsylvania  General  Assembly,  the  Honorable  Thomas  W.  Wolf,  and  Kathy Boockvar (collectively, Respondents), which this Court indicated it would treat as a petition for review addressed to the Court’s original jurisdiction (Petition).  In the Petition, Petitioners allege that the Act of October 31, 2019, P.L. 552, No. 77 (Act 77), which added and amended various absentee and mail-in voting provisions in the Pennsylvania Election Code (Election Code),1is unconstitutional and void ab initio because   it   purportedly   contravenes   the   requirements   of   the   Pennsylvania Constitution.   Petitioners allege  that  Article  VII,  section  14  of  the  Pennsylvania Constitution provides two exclusive mechanisms by which a qualified elector may cast his or her vote in an election: (1) by submitting his or her vote in propria persona at the polling place on election day; and (2) by submitting an absentee ballot, but only if the qualified voter satisfies the conditions precedent to meet the requirements of one of the four, limited exclusive circumstances under which absentee voting is authorized under the Pennsylvania constitution.  (Petition, ¶16.)  Petitioners allege that  mail-in  voting  in  the  form  implemented  through  Act  77  is  an  attempt  by  the legislature  to  fundamentally  overhaul  the  Pennsylvania  voting  system  and  permit universal,  no-excuse,  mail-in  voting  absent  any  constitutional  authority.   Id.,  ¶17.  Petitioners argue  that  in  order  to  amend  the  Constitution,  mandatory  procedural requirements must be strictly followed.  Specifically, pursuant to Article XI, Section 1, a proposed constitutional amendment must be approved by a majority vote of the members  of  both  the  Pennsylvania  House  of  Representatives  and  Senate  in  two consecutive legislative  sessions,  then the  proposed  amendment  must  be  published for  three  months  ahead  of  the  next  general  election  in  two  newspapers  in  each county, and finally it must be submitted to the qualified electors as a ballot question in  the  next  general  election and  approved  by  a  majority  of  those  voting  on  the amendment.  According to Petitioners, the legislature did not follow the necessary procedures for amending the Constitution before  enacting Act 77 which created a new category of mail-in voting; therefore, the mail-in ballot scheme under Act 77 is unconstitutional on its face and must be struck down.  Id., ¶¶27, 35-37.  As relief, Petitioners   seek, inter   alia,   a   declaration   and/or   injunction   that   prohibits Respondents  from  certifying  the  November  2020  General  Election  results,  which include  mail-in  ballots that  are  permitted  on  a  statewide  basis  and  are allegedly improper becauseAct 77is unconstitutional.

Judge rules pro-Trump case established a ‘likelihood to succeed on the merits’ in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania appellate court judge who issued a temporary injunction Wednesday against the state certifying its 2020 election results released an accompanying opinion Friday explaining her decision.

In the opinion, Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough predicted that the plaintiffs in the case will ultimately win the battle they’re waging in the Keystone State.

“Petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because petitioners have asserted the Constitution does not provide a mechanism for the legislature to allow for expansion of absentee voting without a constitutional amendment,”she wrote.

I agree.  No election law should be changed close to an election as it screws up everything, and it appears, in Penns. case, it takes a constitutional change.

We can all see the mess that has happened due to Penn. changing the "rules" "laws" close to an election regarding MAIL BALLOTS.  These laws are not well known anyway, and changing them quickly close to an election, makes sure there will be a crisis.

Exactly


Quote
Earlier this evening, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a brief, three-page order dismissing an election lawsuit brought by Sean Parnell and several other qualified Pennsylvania voters challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s recently-enacted state law governing mail-in voting. In doing so, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also vacated a lower court judge’s preliminary injunction preventing the Pennsylvania Secretary of State from certifying the results of the 2020 General Election pending resolution of the lawsuit.

In dismissing the lawsuit, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did so on the narrowest of grounds: that Parnell and the other voters waited too long to file it. By styling their decision thus, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court avoided having to decide the case on the actual merits: Is the Pennsylvania mail-in voting law unconstitutional under the Pennsylvania state constitution? As we shall see below, the answer is most likely “yes.”

The Pennsylvania Constitution and Voting Law

The Pennsylvania constitution allows absentee voting under five situations: (1) work; (2) illness; (3) physical disability; (4) the election occurring on a religious holiday; or (5) a person’s election-day duties themselves preventing the person from voting in person. No other justifications are allowed for absentee voting under the Pennsylvania constitution.

Towards the end of 2019, a majority of both houses of the Pennsylvania General Assembly passed the relevant mail-in voting legislation at issue here. As I discussed in my previous two articles, this legislation expanded voting by mail beyond the above-five situations under the Pennsylvania constitution to include any situation. In other words, the law purported to allow voting by mail for any reason whatsoever.

But while the General Assembly passed the legislation, this was not, in and of itself, sufficient to amend the Pennsylvania constitution and expand voting by mail beyond the above-five circumstances. To amount to a constitutional amendment, the Pennsylvania constitution requires that the law be passed a second time by a majority vote of both houses of the General Assembly in the next legislative assembly. Once that is done, a majority of Pennsylvania voters then have to approve the mail-in voting legislation in a statewide election.

The above process has not taken place. Indeed, the Pennsylvania General Assembly itself appears to have recognized that such an expansion of mail-in voting would have to come about via a constitutional amendment, as the law itself was originally presented as a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution.

The Parnell Lawsuit

Parnell and the other voters brought suit on November 21, 2020, in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, seeking a declaration that the mail-in voting law is unconstitutional and an injunction barring the Pennsylvania Secretary of State from certifying the results of the General Election until the lawsuit was completed. The Commonwealth Court granted a preliminary injunction, finding that a substantial likelihood existed that the mail-in voting legislation did, in fact, violate the Pennsylvania Constitution.

The Pennsylvania Secretary of State immediately appealed the preliminary injunction to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Earlier today, that court entered an order both dissolving the preliminary injunction and dismissing the entire lawsuit. The only reason it gave for doing so was that Parnell and the other voters had waited too long to bring their lawsuit, and could not do so now, with the electoral college deadline being so close. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court did not address the fact that the mail-in voting legislation had not been passed in such a manner as to amend the Pennsylvania constitution.

What Happens Next?

If other lawsuit litigation is any predictor, Parnell and the other voters will now seek an expedited petition for a writ of certiorari. They will most likely also apply to Justice Alito—as Circuit Justice for the Third Circuit—for an emergency injunction barring the Pennsylvania Secretary of State from certifying the results of the election pending resolution of the cert petition. To obtain the Court’s review, Parnell and the other voters must show that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision somehow violates federal law. While the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision is rooted in state law, a good argument can be made that it involves a federal question.

In interpreting the legislative power within the context of selecting Presidential Electors, the Supreme Court of the United States has held, “What is forbidden or required to be done by a state is forbidden or required of the legislative power under the state constitutions as they exist.” McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 25 (1892). In other words, the “legislative power” to select Presidential Electors includes those limitations that state constitutions place on its legislatures—in this case, the Pennsylvania state constitution’s limiting of absentee voting to the above five situations. This may constitute a viable federal question for the Supreme Court of the United States to intervene. And while McPherson dates from 1892, its rationale is sound, and the Court has cited it as recently as 2015. See Ariz. State Legislature v. Ariz. Indep. Redistricting Comm’n, 576 U.S. 787, 839 (2015).

The other question is what weight, if any, the Supreme Court of the United States will give to Parnell’s supposed delay in bringing the lawsuit. I will admit that this is an area I have not examined much, and so I will refrain from commenting on it for the time being. But this much, at least, seems clear to me: the Pennsylvania mail-in voting law is unconstitutional.

Interesting. I was under the impression that you had to be hurt to holler, so to speak. Suits brought to question the eligibility of one Barrack Obama for office of President were routinely dismissed, not because of the time that had passed, but on issues of "standing"--in short, the plaintiffs could show no injury, thus had no standing to pursue the matter.

I was under the impression that an injured Party had up to two years to sue for damages, and in this case, the law being passed, and the changes unconstitutionally made did not cause injury for roughly a year. Once injury could be claimed (a violation of one man/one vote equal protection), the suit proceeded quickly and well within the two year period usually limiting suits for damages, and also within two years of the law being passed, meeting standing and time frame. 

Considering it has been less than a month since that damage was incurred, and less than two years since the changes were (unconstitutionally) made, the premise on which the PA Supreme Court has dismissed the case (with prejudice, no less) is flawed.

The injury at issue as a result of a prima facie unconstitutional law is less than 30 days old, and regardless of age, the constitutionality of the law is the issue, and it would remain unconstitutional (along with any actions taken under it which superseded the constitutional constraints) no matter how much time had passed.

They don't need to weaponize the virus any further, the MSM has seen to the panic with the help of people who knew this virus long before it 'got out'.

The thing to 'weaponize' (and I believe this is being done) is the testing and test results, which can immobilize people, businesses, witnesses, and a nation.

In my state, COVID-19 only has a 98.8% survival rate (not counting the people who died with the virus and not of it.

Alito Responds To Appeal Asking To Block Biden Win In PA

Jon Brown   â€¢   Dec 4, 2020


Justice Samuel Alito agreed on Thursday to review an appeal against the ruling of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that tossed a suit alleging the state’s mail-in voting was unconstitutional.

Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) and other plaintiffs appealed to Alito to block Pennsylvania from certifying the battleground state’s electoral votes for Democratic nominee Joe Biden, according to The Associated Press. The plaintiffs argue that Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting was inherently unconstitutional because it required a constitutional amendment to be authorized.

Alito set Dec. 9 as the date for state officials to respond. That date is a day after the “safe harbor deadline.” After Dec. 8, Congress cannot challenge any electors named according to state law.

1. And so the endless surmising goes on.  But why would Alito and/or the Court take up the Pennsylvania matter at all if the intention is simply to quickly deep-six it?  I make no predictions, but it is a very solid and substantive case, regardless of what the Court might do.

2. It raises serious constitutional issues.  It is not a fraud case.

Supreme Court Fails to Immediately Act on Trump Campaign’s Request to Expedite Pennsylvania Appeal
Epoch Times, Dec 23, 2020

The Supreme Court on Wednesday docketed an appeal filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to reverse cases by a state court but did not immediately act on the campaign’s request to expedite the case.

Instead, the top court’s docket shows a Jan. 22, 2021. deadline—two days after the presidential inauguration day—for when the state is required to respond to the request for appeal.

The campaign filed the suit on Monday challenging three Pennsylvania Supreme Court rulings that “illegally changed” the mail-in ballot laws “immediately before and after the 2020 presidential election,” the legal team said.

Merry Christmas!

Just finished watching an episode of Star Trek DS9 where the Dominion was making deep inroads into the Alpha Quadrant, and where world after world was compliantly signing a Non Aggression pact with the Dominion in the face of mounting threats from the Dominion’s menacing Jem'’Hadar forces. It was shaping up to be a “peaceful” takeover of the Alpha Quadrant, it seemed.

Meanwhile, Deep Space 9 has been observing waves of Jem'’Hadar troop convoys entering the Alpha Quadrant through the wormhole every week. What to do?

Finally, Starfleet orders Sisko to mine the entrance to the wormhole and stop any more Dominion convoys from entering the Alpha Quadrant. But, Odo notes that if the Federation tries to stop those convoys, “it may very well start a war.”

Sisko looks around at his officers in the briefing room and intones, “Maybe so...but one thing is certain. We’re losing the peace, which means a war could be our only hope.”

And a Merry Christmas to you, too, @Bigun
Title: Re: Pennsylvania: Legal Updates
Post by: Bigun on December 24, 2020, 07:09:28 pm
In my judgment, the following is 100% spot on!

Quote
As Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist No. 78, courts have “neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment.” As such, in deciding cases courts have a duty to explain their decisions so the rest of us may know if they constitute arbitrary exercises of political power, or reasoned decisions of judicial power which the People can trust. In Texas v. Pennsylvania, all that the justices felt obligated to do was to state its — “lack of standing” — supported by a one sentence justification: “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its election.” Resolving a case of this magnitude with one conclusory sentence is completely unacceptable.

The Supreme Court docket consists primarily of only those cases the High Court chooses to hear. However, just like when it agrees to decide a case, and in disputes where the original jurisdiction of the Court is invoked, it has a duty to decide cases properly brought to them. Two centuries ago, Chief Justice John Marshall construed the obligation of contracts clause in a decision where he wrote: “however irksome the task may be, this is a duty from which we dare not shrink.” Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. 518 (1819). Courts have a duty to resolve important cases even if they would prefer to avoid them. In Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803), Marshall described “the duty of the Judicial Department to say what the law is” because “every right, when withheld, must have a remedy, and every injury its proper redress.” Abdication in a case of this sort is not a judicial option.

The Supreme Court’s reliance on standing as its excuse has had one positive result — provoking many to study the origins of that doctrine who may be surprised to learn that the word “standing” nowhere appears in the Constitution. There is compelling evidence to demonstrate it was birthed by big-government Justices during the FDR Administration to shield New Deal legislation, and to insulate the Administrative State from challenges by the People. Those who favored the Texas decision argue that standing is a conservative doctrine as it limits the power of the courts — but the true constitutionalist uses only tests grounded in its text. The true threshold constitutional test is whether a genuine and serious “controversy” exists between the States that could be resolved by a court.

The only reason given by the Supreme Court was: “Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its election.” In truth, Texas did make such a showing. When Pennsylvania violated the exclusive authority bestowed on state legislators in the Constitution’s Electors Clause, it opened the door to corruption and foreign intrigue to corrupt the electoral votes of Pennsylvania, and as Alexander Hamilton explained in Federalist 68, that is exactly why the Framers created the Electoral College. During the 2020 election cycle, changes to the election process in Pennsylvania were made by judges, state office holders and election officials which would never have been made by its state legislature.

If the process by which Presidential Electors are chosen is corrupted in a few key states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin by rigging the system in favor of one candidate, it becomes wholly irrelevant who the People of Texas support. That political reality presents a real “judicially cognizable interest” no matter what the Supreme Court decided. What happens in Pennsylvania does not stay in Pennsylvania, as electors from all States acting together select the President of the United States.

In the Federalist Papers, both James Madison and Alexander Hamilton recognized the need to combat “the spirit of faction” and the tendency of each State to yield to its immediate interest at the expense of national unity. They reasoned that the Constitution provided a solution to this centrifugal pressure while reserving a measure of sovereignty to each State. When differences arise between States that threaten to lead to disunion, the Republic can be held together, as Hamilton observed, either “by the agency of the Courts or by military force.” A constitutional remedy to enable the States to resolve their differences peacefully is the provision that permits any State to invoke the original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court to address and settle their differences.

In the vernacular, the Supreme Court blew it, threatening the bonds that hold the union together.

Trump can't, but the Congress (theoretically) can.

The House needs only a simple majority to impeach a Supreme Court justice or any federal judge. To convict and then remove the justice or judge, the Senate requires a two-thirds majority.

There is a large difference between the number of people who voted and the number of ballots counted.  The two are nowhere near the same.

I believe it has been conclusively proven that somewhere North of 200,000 more ballots counted than actual voters.

This, alone, should be enough to set aside the entire PA election.  When (votes in) <> (votes out) then the bare minimum requirement for credibility has not been met.

I do not believe even *this* problem will take the PA EVs away from Biden.  Rs in PA were in some measure asleep at the switch when they allowed procedures that would let this slip through and still be certified.  The PA State Legislature, and other R controlled state legislatures, will have to pass laws that enact much stricter requirements for transparency and credibility in counting votes as a condition for results to be certified in the future.

While I would still like to see a last-second flea-flicker bomb thrown from the back of the end zone and scoring the winning TD with 00:00 left on the clock, I don't expect to see that electoral outcome next week any more than I would expect to see that result in a football game.  This one is over, and I don't know what to expect in GA.

The angle of attack that might work is within R-controlled state legislatures to enact voting, vote-counting, and certification laws that are transparent and trustworthy, and within state-level R parties to get honest judges and justices on their benches.  Let this election be a cautionary tale.

Exclusive: Over 432,000 Votes Removed From Trump in Pennsylvania, Data Scientists Say
By Allen Zhong
January 4, 2021 Updated: January 4, 2021


Pennsylvania election data shows that over 432,000 votes were removed from President Donald Trump during the November election, data scientists say.

According to an analysis by the Data Integrity Group, obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times, votes for Trump—from both election day and mail-in ballots—were removed from the totals in at least 15 counties.

Time-series election data shows Trump’s votes decrementing in various counties at numerous time points instead of increasing as would be expected under normal circumstances.

The group said that election day vote removals happened during the vote tabulation process in at least 15 counties, including Lehigh County, Chester County, Allegheny County, Armstrong County, Westmoreland County, Northhampton County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Lackawanna County, Dauphin County, Pike County, Carbon County, Washington County, Erie County, and Luzerne County.

Meanwhile, absentee vote removals happened in Allegheny County, Chester County, and Lehigh County.

At least 432,116 votes—213,707 election day votes and 218,409 absentee votes—were removed in total.

“There were vote movements across all candidates. However, we did not see the same type of negative decrements to any of the [other] candidates that we saw with President Trump’s tallies, and they happened repeatedly with no explanation,” Lynda McLaughlin, a member of the group, told The Epoch Times.

The Pennsylvania Secretary of State’s office didn’t respond to a request for comments from The Epoch Times.

Pennsylvania to Remove Dead Voters from Voter Rolls Following Lawsuit

JOHN BINDER     |     8 Apr 2021


Pennsylvania election officials have agreed to remove thousands of dead Americans from its state voter rolls following a lawsuit by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).

In November 2020, PILF attorneys filed suit against Pennsylvania election officials, alleging at least 21,000 dead Americans were on the state’s voter rolls less than a month before the 2020 presidential election.

The lawsuit claimed more than 9,200 of the dead Americans on the voter rolls had been dead for at least five years, nearly 2,000 had been dead for at least a decade, and nearly 200 had been dead for at least 20 years.

This week, PILF attorneys reached a settlement with Pennsylvania’s Acting Secretary Veronica Degraffenreid that requires state election officials to compare death data sets from the Electronic Registration Information Center to the full voter registration database before the 2021 election.  .  .  .

Pennsylvania appears to be on the precipice of initiating an Arizona-style audit of the 2020 election.

State Sen. David Argall, who heads a committee that oversees elections, told local news outlets he favors a forensic audit of the contest that state and federal officials insist was secure.

The Republican, under pressure by former President Donald Trump to take action, told the Capital-Star the audit is now a “very real possibility." The report said he is considering subpoenas for ballot information and which jurisdictions to send them.

“There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two, and we hope to have some more detail,” he told the outlet after meeting with audit-supporting activists on Thursday.

Time For A Reckoning In Pennsylvania (https://andmagazine.com/talk/2021/06/23/time-for-a-reckoning-in-pennsylvania/)

by Charles "Sam" Faddis June 23, 2021


Essential Truths

There is a lot of disinformation floating around about Pennsylvania, audits, and the fight for election integrity in the Keystone State. Almost every day I read an article suggesting that Pennsylvania is about to follow Arizona down the road of really digging into what happened in the November 2020 elections. That is not anywhere close to true. Here is the ground truth from the Keystone State.

1. Pennsylvania moved to no excuse mail-in voting in 2020 pursuant to a vote of the legislature. That legislature was then and is now controlled by the Republican Party. Subsequent interpretations of the new law by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and Secretary of State made the new law, Act 77, worse in the sense of providing even more opportunities for electoral fraud, but the move to mail-in voting was made by Republican lawmakers.

2. The Pennsylvania GOP agreed to move to mail-in voting as part of a deal brokered with the Democratic Party in Pennsylvania. In exchange for GOP support for mail-in voting, the Democrats agreed to support ending straight-party voting, which until then had been possible in Pennsylvania elections. The Pennsylvania GOP wanted to end this practice because party leadership had concluded President Trump would be a drag on down-ballot GOP candidates. The powers that be in Harrisburg wanted to cut away the sitting President of the United States.

3. There is currently no serious effort underway in Harrisburg to repeal Act 77 and return the Commonwealth to in-person voting

-- excerpt, rest at link above --

And THAT is truly sad.

What I am hearing is that all eyes in Pennsylvania are on Arizona.  The Pennsylvania GOP is pretty much waiting to see what happens there before pulling the trigger on an audit here.  There are quite a few GOP legislators pushing for an audit, but there will not be a consensus on it until the Maricopa results are in.  If the Maricopa County audit reveals some funny business I think there will be some action here.  Otherwise no.

Quote
Chairman of the Pennsylvania Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee Doug Mastriano (R) announced on Wednesday he has launched a forensic audit of the November 3, 2020 election and 2021 primary which will involve multiple counties in the Commonwealth.

According to 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump in a rally speech on Friday night, various state legislators are taking action about what Trump claims was widespread fraud, resulting in a “rigged” election which cost him a second term.

Mastriano’s declaration follows a forensic election audit taking place in Arizona’s largest county, Maricopa, which appears to have provided a model for legislators from other states, including Pennsylvania, to explore launching their own.

According to Mastriano’s press release, the endeavor “is necessary as millions of Pennsylvanians have serious doubts about the accuracy of the 2020 General Election. A January poll from Muhlenberg University showed that 40% of Pennsylvania voters are not confident that the results of the 2020 Election accurately reflected how Pennsylvanians voted.…”

PA Department of State Issues Directive after Forensic Election Audit Opened

The Post & Email 7/11/2021

 An announcement on Wednesday of a forensic election audit by Pennsylvania State Sen. Doug Mastriano was followed by a directive from Commonwealth Department of State Acting Secretary Veronica Degraffenreid to refuse to provide election equipment from “third parties.”

In a press release and video statement, Mastriano, who chairs the state senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, asserted that irregularities occurring in the November 3, 2020 general election and 2021 primaries for municipal elections led him to open the audit with the purpose of restoring Pennsylvanians’ faith in the election process.

“Today, as Chair of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee, I issued letters to several counties requesting information and materials needed to conduct a forensic investigation of the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary,” Mastriano wrote in his press release. “We have asked these counties to respond by July 31st with a plan to comply. The counties represent different geographical regions of Pennsylvania and differing political makeups. Some are Republican while others are Democrat, which means that this will be a balanced investigation.”

“The case for a forensic investigation of the 2020 general election is evident to any unbiased observer,” the announcement continued. “This was the first election in Pennsylvania with ‘mass’ mail-in voting. In 2020, there were 2.7 million ballots cast by mail and absentee compared to about 263,000 absentee ballots cast in 2016. Many of these ballots were counted at off-site locations with little outside observation or oversight. Furthermore, mail ballots without signature verification were permitted to be counted across the Commonwealth.”

Pennsylvania’s legislature has a majority of Republicans in both chambers, while its governor, Tom Wolf, is a Democrat. “Governor Wolf and the Secretary of State refused to conduct any type of thorough investigation despite the concerns of millions of our citizens in the aftermath of the election and hundreds of affidavits alleging first-hand fraud, irregularities, and illegal behavior witnessed at polling places,” Mastriano wrote on page 2 of his announcement. “The closest thing to an investigation we got was a small so called ‘risk-limiting’ audit which consisted of a sample of only 45,000 randomly selected ballots from the November Election. Not nearly the type of investigation that was needed to determine any fraud, misconduct, or technical anomalies. This audit was conducted by the Department of State and did not include public input for outside observers.”

Quote
On Monday Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano (R), who launched a forensic investigation of the November 3, 20920 election last week, tweeted a letter in which he confronted White House occupant Joe Biden with Pennsylvanians’ expressed uncertainty “about the accuracy of the 2020 General Election” which declared Biden the winner over then-incumbent President Donald J. Trump.

Mastriano’s letter responded to Biden’s anticipated visit on Tuesday to Philadelphia, one of the cities the forensic probe will encompass, during which Biden will reportedly speak on “actions to protect the sacred, constitutional right to vote.”

In his one-page missive, Mastriano provided his reasons for conducting the audit and requested a meeting with Biden “to come together…to restore trust in our system.”  “The people of our Commonwealth should have confidence that their vote counts,” Mastriano wrote.  “It takes accountability and transparency to ensure that our elections are free and fair.”

As he wrote in a press release released on Wednesday, Mastriano told Biden, “Millions of Pennsylvanians have serious doubts about the accuracy of the 2020 General Election. A January poll from Muhlenberg University showed that 40% of Pennsylvania voters are not confident that the results of the 2020 Election accurately reflected how Pennsylvanians voted.”

Pa. County Whistleblower: Data Regarding Thousands of Return Ballots Erased

Luca Cacciatore   |  Wednesday, 17 November 2021  |  10:52 PM


A whistleblower is offering up information said to be related to data suppression, involving "missing ballots" in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, from the 2020 election.

The information comes after a right-to-know request was filed in May, sources familiar with the lawsuit said. The sources spoke to Newsmax on the condition of anonymity.

Delaware County was the last county in the state to fully report its ballots for the 2020 election, and several races were in the scope of being flipped by a few thousand votes.

The lawsuit suggests an election machine shredded thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots, with the data corroborating it deliberately erased in the lead up to the right-to-know filing.

Several videos were released as part of the effort to corroborate the claims.  .  .  .

New Videos Capture Pennsylvania Officials Hiding Evidence Of Alleged Election Fraud

MARGOT CLEVELAND  |  DECEMBER 21, 2021


New whistleblower videos capture Delaware County, Pennsylvania officials plotting to recreate missing election data from the November 2020 contest, with one official later bragging that the local Democrat district attorney “owes him.” These recordings represent the latest evidence of the alleged fraud officials in the Pennsylvania county undertook to hide widespread violations of the state’s election laws, according to a source familiar with the recordings.

Whistleblower Regina Miller, who worked as a contract employee for Delaware County, secretly recorded the behind-the-scenes videos of election officials after witnessing concerning conduct, according to sources with knowledge of a fraud lawsuit filed last month against county election officials, based in part on the recordings. That lawsuit alleged county election officials destroyed election data in response to a May 21, 2021 Right to Know Request filed with Delaware County that requested the final certified return sheets from the Nov. 3, 2020 general election for all Delaware County precincts, as well as the tapes from the voting machines.

While earlier videos captured Delaware County officials destroying election material or blocking out “derogatory” information in the copies made in response to the Right to Know Request, the latest video captures two election officials discussing putting in “blank” V-drives, which are the thumb drives that record the results from election machines, to recreate the election results reported by the county.  .  .  .

Pennsylvania Court Issues Defeat to Governor and AG with Stunning Decision on Dominion Voting Machines

Kyle Becker   |   December 23, 2021


State officials in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who sought to block transparency and accountability over the 2020 election were handed a defeat on Thursday, according to the non-profit legal foundation The Amistad Project.

“The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has ruled in favor of The Amistad Project and Fulton County, Pennsylvania, allowing the county to send its Dominion voting machines to the State Senate for inspection on January 10,” the group stated in a press release.

“The court recognized that it was improper to demand that the county – which owns the machines, and has the responsibility of running the election along with the legislature – can’t determine whether the machines worked properly,” said Phill Kline, director of The Amistad Project. “As the judge noted, there’s no justification for preventing the county from looking at their own machines.”

Pennsylvania’s attorney general and secretary of state had sued to prevent the inspection, the press release notes.  .  .  .

Video Shows Pennsylvania Official Admitting Election Laws Were Broken In 2020

MARGOT CLEVELAND  |  JANUARY 17, 2022


“So, we’re going to actually follow the law fully this time,” Delaware County, Pennsylvania’s Christina Perrone told fellow election-related workers during a Zoom meeting after the November 2020 election. This video—the latest obtained by The Federalist—provides yet another example of widespread violations of election law during the last presidential election.

Regina Miller, a contract worker for the large Pennsylvania county, filmed the video of the April 7, 2021 Zoom meeting, which involved voting officials discussing plans for the upcoming elections, according to sources familiar with the recording. The video began with Perrone, who, according to a lawsuit filed against her, other Delaware County officials, and the county, served as a project manager for the county, saying they would “talk about that off-line”—with the “that” not specified.

The remainder of the clip, however, gave some clues, with Perrone saying she had a brief conversation with “Jim,” “and this time it’s much different than last time because we’re going to have them sign oaths. There’re going to be W4s and we need them to sign something allowing somebody else to pick up. So, we’re going to actually follow the law fully this time,” Perrone ended with a laugh.  .  .  .

From GA to WI to PA, the authorities are admitting now that massive fraud was committed in 2020 and yet no one has been indicted. Meanwhile Jan 6th trespassers rot in solitary confinement, tortured and denied due process.

Why is the GOP so terrified to ever indict a Democrat? They investigate FOREVER yet never indict. The Durham investigation is STILL dragging on years later with nothing but some underlings to show for it.

Last Week’s Court Ruling in Pennsylvania Means 40% of 2020 Ballots Unconstitutional — Without These Ballots President Trump Crushed Biden by a 2 to 1 Ratio in the State!

Gateway Pundit 1/30/2022

Attorney Wally Zimolong in Pennsylvania won a historic case last week in the Commonwealth Court.  The justices agreed that the state’s constitution does not provide for ‘no excuse’ mail-in balloting.

Steve Bannon’s War Room invited attorney Wally Zimolong on to discuss the use of absentee ballots in the state of Pennsylvania.

He filed a suit in the state in which the court last week agreed that the law of Pennsylvania does not allow “no excuse” mail-in balloting. The court ruling said the attempt to allow such mail-in balloting was invalid from the start, meaning before the 2020 election.

Attorney Wally Zimolong won the case last week where the Appeals court in Pennsylvania ruled that ‘no excuse’ mail-in absentee ballots were not provided for in Pennsylvania’s constitution.

Explosive Pennsylvania Testimony Explains How Leftist Money Infiltrated Election Offices In 2020
This evidence should be enough for the Pennsylvania legislature to recognize there is a real problem when private money and private actors collaborate with election officials.
By: Margot Cleveland
April 08, 2022

The Democrat governor’s office in Pennsylvania colluded with left-wing activists to secure millions of dollars in private money to run get-out-the-vote efforts in blue counties in the swing state in 2020, new, explosive testimony revealed. The Pennsylvania legislature heard this testimony, backed up by email evidence, on Tuesday during the first public hearing on two new bills seeking to block private grants.

Tuesday’s public hearing began with statements by the respective primary sponsors of the bills that seek to ban dark money from elections, with Sen. Lisa Baker speaking in support of Senate Bill 982 and Rep. Eric Nelson encouraging passage of House Bill 2044. Pennsylvania investigative journalist Todd Shepherd then testified at length on the results of his extensive probe into the insertion of private funds into the 2020 election.

With a series of PowerPoint slides, Shepherd revealed to lawmakers that beginning in July 2020, consultants working for leftist organizations coordinated with local election officials and Democrat Gov.Tom Wolf’s office to lobby five blue counties to apply for these private grants. While the grants originated with the nominally non-partisan Center for Tech and Civic Life—an organization that Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan’s private foundation later infused with some $350 million in cash—emails reveal that a main consultant involved in targeting select counties, Marc Solomon, worked for the Center for Secure and Modern Elections, or the CSME. ...

Pennsylvania Supreme Court upholds state's no-excuses mail-in ballot law in blow to GOP (https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/pennsylvania-supreme-court-upholds-states-no-excuses-mail-ballot-law-blow?utm_source=breaking&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter)

Democrat justices concluded nothing in state constitution prohibits widespread use of absentee ballots, reversing lower court.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Tuesday the 2019 law expanding the state's mail-in voting was constitutional, overruling Republicans who argued no-excuse absentee voting should be outlawed.

The Democrat-led court ruled 5-2 to uphold law known as Act 77 -- with the court's two Republicans voting against -- all but ensuring wide-spread mail-in voting will be available in Pennsylvania for the mid-term elections that will decide control of Congress. Pennsylvania features a contest for the open Senate seat.

"Nothing in the recorded procedures of the constitutional convention resulting in the 1838 Constitution suggests the intent to intermingle qualifications of voters with the method of voting," the court concluded.

"Nothing in Article VII prohibits the legislature from eliminating the ability of qualified voters to cast their votes by mail, just as nothing in the Constitution required it to do so...

In line with the US Constitution, if those powers were not expressly delegated to the Federal Government, it did not have them (they were reserved to the States and the People).

If it didn't say it could, then it couldn't. That was clarified in The Bill of Rights, and later muddled by the courts as often as clarified further.

Perhaps the problem arises from the concept that people could show up in person and vote more cheaply than posting a vote in the mail of the day, so mail in voting was never even considered, any more than voting online.

I would not think that that would automatically give the State the authority to suck up that bit of power. I find the court's argument weak.
