It's a fair legal argument. Just sayin!

I'm 99% sure joe biden will be the next president, and I'm 99% sure he will be terrible. Just as long as we get to stick it to that trump guy though! Great perspective.
Please tell me how throwing out all the votes in those states, disenfranchising millions, addresses anyone's actual problem. Seriously. Violation of election laws disenfranchises voters of other states-- and your response is to disenfranchise millions more? Please be clear in your reasoning. This is the same thought process the current US Supreme Court has already applied to similar Republican lawsuits and it cuts right to the meat of the issue: Republicans are seeking to further disenfranchise.

If the Supreme Court rules that one state's election behavior disenfranchises other states, that precedent would open a Pandora's Box of untold absurdities, and plausibly lead to the abolition of the electoral college if the court had any ideological consistency. It's so unreasonable and ridiculous it would likely tank the legitimacy of the Supreme Court for decades to come.

Note I don't actually expect you to rub your two brain cells together and come up with a cogent response, this post is just rhetorical.
