We lost is not a valid argument.

trying, apparently, for a repeat of the Bush vs. Gore fiasco.

However, it's also clear that not one of them is in any way studied up on how B v G went down. They only know the outcome and not how it came about. They're not big on process anyway.

There was a process in B v G. Weak as water in most respects, but, there was logic, argument, and evidence.

Pennsylvania and the "nonzero number of people" he has watching the count

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100214510612

Their argument: GOP observers had been barred from the rooms where the votes were being counted.

Republican observers were there, after all. Trump had “a nonzero number of people in the room,” one of his attorneys conceded in federal court Thursday evening.

“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” asked U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond, who denied the request to halt the count.

"Poopy pants, crybaby, 4 year old will have access to one broom-sized closet to play in at the back of the White House for a period of one week prior to January 20, 2021.Then he must get the fuck out."

And by the way, who uses terms like "non-zero number of people"?

Dems should file against Alaska and North Carolina and Florida (esp after the mail-in ballot fiasco in Miami-Dade) and Ohio

Home-state senators have huge influence on district court judges- can't get them out of committee without their consent.

Zero evidence = Zero proof. Hearsay is not evidence. Hearsay that there was Hearsay isn't either. Neither is an unsigned, undated, un-witnessed hand scrawled post-it note. There is no evidence of a crime or problems with the count or the ballots on a scale commensurate with the crime alleged.

... (Guilfoyle) to be his poll watchers and stop the vote counting if it looks like trDumpie may end up losing.

The only votes that should be counted are the ones that will put Fatsolini back in the Oval Office for his much deserved second term.

Every other vote is an illegal vote, especially if the vote is for Biden.
