That Don Lemon and Kathy Griffin have brought it out into the open and others will as time goes by
No question about it

By all means investigate concrete cases of election fraud - to prevent it happening next time - but right here and now, we have Kristi Noem talking about liberating LA and CA from their governments. - the coup is underway. The house is on fire.

(3,861 posts)and they all believe it. I would like to think we are more grown up than that. Harris was not leading in all of the polls. Because something is mathematically improbable, does not mean that it didn't happen.

(19,980 posts)There is as much evidence (as introduced and accepted in a court of law) for 2024 election denialism as there was for 2020 election denialism:
Zero
Denial may be a natural part of the grieving process, but it can interfere with facing the very real threats and challenges this administration poses on a daily basis.

(45,435 posts)The judge has allowed discovery to go forward in the case -- discovery that will help the judge decide whether or not to order a hand recount. The next trial date isn't until late September.
And the New York Supreme Court is the lowest level court in the state of New York. It is a trial court, not an appellate court. It's decisions are reviewable by the New York Court of Appeals.

A seminal case calling the results of the presidential race as well as state senate races into question has advanced. The case refers to the results of the election in Rockland County, New York, with Judge Rachel Tanguay of the New York Supreme Court ruling that a full hand recount must occur following the

(45,435 posts)I'm assuming you are quoting some source. I'm curious because I haven't seen any source stating that the judge has determined that a full hand recount must occur.

Looks like the plaintiff is actually SMART Legislation, but both are part of the same organization.
SMART Legislation, the action arm of SMART Elections, is the lead plaintiff in the case. Both organizations are dedicated to ensuring fair and accurate elections.

A number of outlets ran pieces a couple of days ago, based largely, or entirely, on their press release.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean the information is inaccurate, but it's something to keep in mind when evaluating the information presented.
On edit:
I noticed that the press release is very similar to questionseverything's quote except that the press release is clear that the judges order was in regard to discovery.
The Latin Times piece contains questionseverything's quote, I'm not sure why they changed that part from the press release.

(11,057 posts)They have done fascinating work and I wish people would watch it
But you were correct the quote was from smartelections, they are a different group, different info , different case but they are already in court and have received some favorable rulings
Eta is still in the gathering, compiling stage but their work seems compelling to me

(16,660 posts)Your quote matches that in Latin News, possibly others:
Highlight is mine.
From "SMART Elections" press release:
Highlight is mine.
The difference is significant. As onenote pointed out, the first has the judge saying a recount must occur, the second has her saying that discovery must proceed.

(5,834 posts)willing to investigate and provide proof of it, I've no problem with it. More power to them.
Trump, Republican voters, their elected officials, and their pundits CONTINUE to claim the 2020 election stolen, refuse to accept the validity of our vote, and the legitimacy of Biden's presidency.
So, I'd have no problem with those inclined to return the favour. ESPECIALLY if it gets under TSF's orange painted hide.

So its definitely about election manipulation but palast doesnt get into the non transparent vote counting that seems to show manipulation and an inaccurate result
