Is there anything this administration didn’t find a way to corrupt? I wonder how much more of this type of stuff we hear now that Trump is on his way out.

Here's a fun throwback to the last time Trump lost a pivotal (though not ultimately decisive, obviously) election:

I retired my law license six years ago. The disreputable Trump shysters should have their licenses retired by their respective bar licensing authorities: The wave of quixotic lawsuits flying out of Trump’s legal team is stretching the boundaries of anything remotely resembling a coherent and evidence-based approach to litigation. In the mere eight days since Election Day, the Trump campaign has filed at least 10 different lawsuits in at least five different states (Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada). Some of these are run-of-the-mill lawsuits fighting over minor issues, but several directly allege fraud, and a few include documentation claiming to prove the existence of that fraud. We can assume that Trump’s lawyers are not incompetent, which leads to the question: If they know these lawsuits are unlikely to stick, why are they filing them? The ethical dilemma confronting these lawyers is greater than merely making their billable-hours quota and continuing their advancement in their firms. The deeper they venture down the Trump conspiracy rabbit hole, armed with nothing more than futile lawsuits premised on flimsy evidentiary or legal bases, the more their professional reputations and law licenses are at risk. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/11/trumps-lawyers-election/617064/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&utm_content=edit-promo&utm_term=2020-11-11T15%3A50%3A01&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&fbclid=IwAR0BM_nuILCUWpErl2hwaqh3P2vB8Wa_RwSi8ZPHGj5c-jG4VLbKlxI9xik

Kudos to Republican Secretary of State of Georgia. Unlike his predecessor, Gov. Kemp who as Secretary of State when he ran for Governor refused to recuse himself from election responsbilities, he appears to be doing an honest job in supervising the Georgia election. While one may quarrel that he has caved to corrupt GOP pressure to engage in a manual recount it will only reconfirm Biden's Georgia win. Georgia's two U.S. senators demanded that he resign, declaring that Brad Raffensperger, their fellow Republican, had "failed to deliver honest and transparent elections." Trump tweeted a barrage of unfounded accusations that the state's election was a sham. And the president tapped one of the state's GOP congressmen to lead his effort to find evidence of fraud, though no such evidence has surfaced. Raffensperger isn't budging. "People are just going to have to accept the results," he told The Washington Post in an interview Wednesday. "I'm a Republican. I believe in fair and secure elections." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/brad-raffensperger-georgia/2020/11/11/2d0a876e-2426-11eb-952e-0c475972cfc0_story.htmlAnd Republican AG of Arizona: As President Trump’s campaign plows on with lawsuits featuring unfounded claims of voter fraud in lost battleground states, Arizona’s Republican attorney general on Wednesday rejected the president’s conspiracy claims and said he’s unlikely to overtake President-elect Joe Biden in the state. “It does appear that Joe Biden will win Arizona,” state Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a Wednesday interview with Fox Business host Neil Cavuto. “There is no evidence, there are no facts that would lead anyone to believe that the election results will change.” www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/12/brnovich-arizona-attorney-general-trump/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR39haJ38MtiHqFUE3_p4gyBdKIbiAuEuXhSgyRtuOlW5EtILMhuE_zFgRY

Doesn’t it seem that a hand count would be much more prone to errors than an electronic count?

You are correct. electionlawblog.org/?p=118510In any event, the taxpayers of Georgia are bearing the cost of this. They should remember that the next time they vote.

Porter Wright throws in the towel. Scared of harming whatever reputation it had as a law firm? Are they worried about their law licenses? Total s to have signed on to represent him in the first place. $$$$$$$$$$$. A law firm representing Trump in his attempt to challenge the election count in Pennsylvania has withdrawn from the case. Porter Wright Morris & Arthur said in a court motion filed late Thursday that attorneys Ronald L. Hicks Jr. and Carolyn B. McGee would no longer be representing Trump’s campaign in the case. “Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that Plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws,” the attorneys said in their motion. The firm said Trump’s campaign was “in the process of retaining” other attorneys to represent it. Linda A. Kerns, a Philadelphia attorney who is representing Trump in a flurry of lawsuits in the state’s courts, will remain on the case. Several law firms representing Trump in his efforts to undermine the result in battleground states have come under pressure to drop the president as a client. Trump’s federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania seeks an emergency injunction preventing state authorities from certifying the state’s election results. It alleges that hundreds of thousands of votes cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are invalid because Trump’s campaign was unable to observe them being counted, which election officials deny. Commonwealth Secretary Kathy Boockvar on Thursday asked the court to dismiss what she called Trump’s “desperate and unfounded attempt to interfere” with the election process. “The voters of Pennsylvania have spoken,” attorneys for Boockvar said in a court filing. -- The Washington Post, 11/13/20, 8:59 am.

What do you expect from a party owned by a five-time draft dodger who thinks military members are "suckers" and "losers"? My husband serves as a major in the U.S. Air Force; I work as a lawyer at a nonprofit helping veterans access their benefits. We both take our civic duties very seriously. So when I learned a few days ago that Republicans in our home state, Nevada, were claiming without evidence that thousands of votes had been “improperly cast” — including, it appears, ours — I was incredulous. www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/nevada-military-votes-trump/2020/11/13/ec9e2c66-2520-11eb-952e-0c475972cfc0_story.html

Conservatives believe in federalism, so they wouldn’t be happy about federal courts telling states how to count their votes — right? Conservatives believe in judicial restraint, so they wouldn’t be happy about federal judges stretching the law to stop states from counting votes — right? Think again. President Trump’s campaign and its supporters have filed lawsuits in federal courts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin that would appall the framers of the Constitution and should be rejected by the kind of originalist judges that Trump has helped install on the federal bench. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/11/13/trumps-originalist-judges-should-reject-his-lawsuits-usurping-states-rights-framers-would/
