This is what caused OJ simpson to be declared innocent in the first trial; the personal biases of the jury.

If you want to know how the court would rule, look to the past - the Supremes are big on precedent.

In Bush v Gore, the conservatives stopped the recount because they said that the Legislature of Florida said they intended all the Florida citizens to participate in the federal elections, and the votes have to be in by a certain date hard stop. With that date coming up, the Supreme Court bowed to the wish of the Florida lawmakers.

The liberals argued that the Florida Supreme Court should make that decision. If they wanted to mess with the recounts and miss the final federal vote tally date, that was up to the judges in Florida.

This is because conservatives are originalists, so they go back to the source, in that case the FL statutes. The liberal guys are activists so they wanted to FL judges to make the decisions.

In the present term, if there is any dispute regarding vote tallies and when or who can count what or when, look for the newly-solid conservative court to let the state legislature decide - so whatever the PA law is that's what's going to happen in PA.

Ahh a new batch of states reporting in.

There should be no surprises here I think. If there are any that would be momentous.

This is the most important election of our lives,.. for some reason.

Atleast that's what 'they' keep saying, I guess 2016 wasn't the most important. or 2012... uhhh

Steve Kornacki is going fuck Pasco County in Florida, maybe after drinks or a short lunch. He's thrusting his entire body at the screen, his hand grabbing the county seat.

It's only #1 in the media.

Exit polls today say the people think it's fading too:

Also, people are pretty split, not what the media has been saying:
