7. The judge just burned the Republican Lawyer
The Republican Lawyer said that it would cause irreparable harm to the loser (the Repub) if the election results are changed based upon the found ballots.

The woman judge responded, and I paraphrase, instead of looking the winner or loser, but rather the VOTER

Amen!!

10. How funny...several of us watching, simultaneously responded to this one
It was an excellent question and notice how the Lawyer for the Repuke Party was silent and hummed and hawed?

:eyes:

4. Excellent -
"You're looking at this on part of the winner or loser, shouldn't we be looking at on the part of the voter?"

5. Great question just posed by a Justice - shouldn't we be viewing this from
the rights of the voter, not the rights of the winner/loser?

The Repuke lawyer was silent and asked her to repeat the question and then hummed and hawed....

Yeah, right, they don't care about the rights of the voters...

8. Include topic in your post...
Helps in getting people to know why they should come to your thread and what is on C-SPAN...

ie: WA State Recount on C-SPAN 1 NOW!

11. The Repub Lawyer is sweating bullets
not to have the ballots canvassed, as if that alone could not determine the validity of the ballots. Not very convincing.

13. Your point is well taken. But folks that been here for awhile
know that when someone mentions "C-Span Now" 'Tis like yelling fire, it usually is worth checking out.

Peace!

12. The Repuke lawyer's talking point seems to be
"We can't expand the universe of ballots." Um, why?

15. because republican do not believe in the right of people to vote
they think picky arguments about whether or not some box is checked is much more important than the right to vote.

19. personally, I want every vote counted
it so happens that that generally favors the Democrat (worse voting machines in heavily Dem, lower income, less educated areas), but if it doesn't, so be it.
