MI, PA, GA and NV all broke their own election laws by arbitrarily changing them at the last minute without amending their state constitutions, which is the proper procedure.

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.

This is actually a good point about the electoral college. You’re right you would basically have to abolish it at that point and make it solely popular vote. This would be an ironic outcome for people like douglas1999 because that would essentially guarantee that the presidential election will always be won by the Democrats for the foreseeable future because you would have populous coastal blue states as well as large cities (predominantly Democrat voting of course) driving the election result and the votes of people in the south and Midwest would be virtually meaningless.

So by all means move forward with the TX lawsuit. The ultimate outcome will end up being very negative for Republicans.

The bible and the quran both say the final empire of man that destroys the earth is one from a new land in the west, that imitates rome.

Bro if the majority of americans think that we are Rome, I think it's safe to kiss your ass goodbye. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

In Warhammer 40K, the emperor is on what amounts of magic life support and keeping him alive requires 1000 daily human sacrifices. This, in an empire that spans trillions of people, is considered such a horrifying state secret you can be executed if you learn it

We're at 3000/day. Skulls for skull throne!

Biden already served as vice president for eight years. Half of his cabinet is the same as obama's, not to mention he has been in politics for literally half a century with no noteworthy achievements. This seems somewhat at odds with the idea of revolving the door.
