What can we expect going forward
It was announced yesterday that 17 state Atty. Gen.’s sided with Texas in their attempt to sue and throw out the votes from the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
So what’s next:
- The states named as prospective defendants must file their responses to the Supreme Court today.
- A ruling on whether the case can go forward is expected on Friday
- The electors vote on Monday
Given the track record of other attempts to overthrow results, and the fact that the processes in those states – and others as well – had already been litigated before the election (it was no secret nor has there been any proof of widespread voter fraud), most are saying the Supreme Court will not be interested in pursuing the case.
President Trump is urging the SC to “have the courage” to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
PS it will be interesting if the +17 states ALL file their responses to the SCOTUS. I gotta think, that – like the court exchanges when Guiliani pulled back from his claims of widespread voter fraud – there is some legal protocol that if abused can be reprimanded by the court. Is the bark worse than the bite? NOTE: I am no legal expert so I do not know how far they can go.
