Doesn't Mick "Moron" Mulvaney understand that no reputable GOP lawyer (like Ben Ginsberg, who wrote a WaPo op-ed stating that there is no fraud within a month after retiring from Jones Day) will represent the clown-in-chief in any campaign litigation? “I’m still a little concerned about the use of Rudy Giuliani. It strikes me that this is the most important lawsuit in the history of the country, and they’re not using the most well-noted election lawyers,” Mulvaney, who served as President Donald Trump’s top aide from January 2019-March 2020, told Fox Business. www.politico.com/news/2020/11/18/mulvaney-slams-giuliani-role-437443President Trump has failed the test of leadership. His bid for reelection is foundering. And his only solution has been to launch an all-out, multimillion-dollar effort to disenfranchise voters — first by seeking to block state laws to ease voting during the pandemic, and now, in the final stages of the campaign, by challenging the ballots of individual voters unlikely to support him. This is as un-American as it gets. It returns the Republican Party to the bad old days of “voter suppression” that landed it under a court order to stop such tactics — an order lifted before this election. It puts the party on the wrong side of demographic changes in this country that threaten to make the GOP a permanent minority. The truth is that over all those years Republicans found only isolated incidents of fraud. Proof of systematic fraud has become the Loch Ness Monster of the Republican Party. People have spent a lot of time looking for it, but it doesn’t exist. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/11/01/ben-ginsberg-voter-suppression-republicans/

Demented Rudy. It's a shame no family member intervenes and finds the professional help needed for him. Certainly not his moron son who is emplyed in the White House at $90k per year as the "Sports Liaison". Your tax dollar at work. Demented Rudy's daughter came out for Biden but declined to answer any questions about her father's mental health. His return to federal court as a practicing attorney, for the first time in nearly three decades, would not be the worst of Giuliani’s water-carrying for Trump, but it was, perhaps, the saddest. It was so small and petty. He was in Pennsylvania court Tuesday not to tell a convoluted tale of international intrigue about shadowy figures and powerful people skulking around in Ukraine. His story of malfeasance was closer to home and it was simply mean. Giuliani argued that a vast swathe of perfectly reasonable, good-hearted Americans masterminded a huge scheme that cheated Trump out of reelection. Giuliani couldn’t offer any evidence that this awful plot existed, but nevertheless he was sure it did and it just so happened to be centered in places like Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Detroit, which have substantial populations of Black and brown people. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/18/rudy-giuliani-is-mess/“You’re alleging that the two individual plaintiffs were denied the right to vote,” Brann said. “But at bottom, you’re asking this court to invalidate more than 6.8 million votes, thereby disenfranchising every single voter in the commonwealth. Can you tell me how this result can possibly be justified?” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/giuliani-pennsylvania-court-appearance/2020/11/18/ad7288dc-2941-11eb-92b7-6ef17b3fe3b4_story.htmlDemented Rudy's moron son (a Dukie like Stephen Miller): On the front lines was 34-year-old Andrew Giuliani. Officially, he’s the White House’s “sports liaison.” But his path to this political fight was unusual: He’s the son of “America’s Mayor,” a scratch golfer who played (until he didn’t) at Duke, a savvy and ambitious staffer who can navigate sports as a political measuring stick. Perhaps most important, he’s a Trump loyalist who has earned the president’s trust. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2020/10/23/andrew-giuliani-trump-sports-golf/

Okay, the Wayne County Clowns now want to rescind their vote to certify the Wayne County votes! Clowns. After three hours of tense deadlock on Tuesday, the two Republicans on an election board in Michigan’s most populous county reversed course and voted to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election, a key step toward finalizing President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Now, they both want to take back their votes. In affidavits signed Wednesday evening, the two GOP members of the four-member Wayne County Board of Canvassers allege that they were improperly pressured into certifying the election and accused Democrats of reneging on a promise to audit votes in Detroit. “I rescind my prior vote,” Monica Palmer, the board’s chairwoman, wrote in an affidavit reviewed by The Washington Post. “I fully believe the Wayne County vote should not be certified.” William Hartmann, the other Republican on the board, has signed a similar affidavit, according a person familiar with the document. Hartmann did not respond to a message from The Post. Jonathan Kinloch, a Democrat and the board’s vice chairman, told The Post that it’s too late for the pair to reverse course, as the certified results have been sent to the secretary of state in accordance with state rules. He lashed out at the Republicans over their requests. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2020/11/19/wayne-county-rescind-certifying-election/

I think the sociopath is 0-19 in election lawsuits thus far.
An Arizona judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Arizona Republican Party against Maricopa County that alleged the county should be ordered to redo a hand-count audit of votes because it was done improperly the first time.
Republicans argued that state law required Maricopa, where Phoenix is located, to audit its returns by hand-counting ballots from 2 percent of precincts. But Maricopa did not use precincts; because of the pandemic it used vote centers, where voters from many precincts could show up to cast their ballots. Maricopa conducted its audit by hand-counting ballots from 2 percent of its vote centers.
Auditing by vote center is allowable under the elections procedure manual published by Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D).
During a hearing Wednesday, an attorney representing Hobbs accused Republicans of using the lawsuit to try to delay certification of election results. Judge John Hannah Jr. also questioned why Republicans had waited until after the election was held to complain about a procedure they had known about before Election Day. Hannah dismissed the case in a brief order Thursday.
There is one remaining election-related lawsuit in Maricopa County, but it is narrow — the allegations are that that two people’s votes were not properly counted. In addition, on Thursday, Trump campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani said he would “probably” file another lawsuit in Arizona. -- Washington Post, 5:24 pm EST

That's not going to stop Republicans from making it harder for people of color to vote. When people ponder what Republicans stand for this is clearly near the top of their list.

The Republican dean of election law. What Gnsberg fails to mention is the role of an antidemocratic Republican Party populated by power hungry sycophants and toadies of a sociopath. Opinion by Benjamin L. Ginsberg Dec. 4, 2020 at 4:52 p.m. EST Benjamin L. Ginsberg practiced election law for 38 years. He co-chaired the bipartisan 2013 Presidential Commission on Election Administration. The country was lucky that President Trump and his reelection campaign were so inept. He ultimately lost by a wide margin, and his challenges to the results have been farcical. His rhetoric ramped up in inverse proportion to his ability to produce evidence supporting his charges of systemic “fraud” or “rigged” elections. The United States might not be so lucky next time. What if the 2020 election had been as close as it was in 2000, and the outcome hinged on a state (or states) with a truly narrow margin? How would the country have fared under a Trump-style assault on democracy’s foundations? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/america-may-not-be-so-lucky-next-time/2020/12/04/044e0c58-365d-11eb-b59c-adb7153d10c2_story.html

Funny I made a post about this years ago when this thread first started. Republicans didn't care about strengthening requirements for VBM when they were the party using it the most. Now that roles are reversed...
As if you need any further proof that these laws are just about making it harder for the other sides voters to vote..

Pretty much says it all...
Easier to vote = Harder for Republicans to win.

For those still awaiting "evidence" of the Hugo Chavez/Dominion conspiracy before drawing any conclusions . . After an intense hunt by President Trump’s allies to surface voting irregularities in this year’s election, law enforcement agencies in six key swing states targeted by the president have found just a modest number of complaints that have merited investigation, according to cases tracked by state officials. So far, only a handful of cases have resulted in actual criminal charges alleging wrongdoing — some of them against Republican voters aiming to help Trump, according to officials, including a man charged Monday with trying to cast a ballot in Pennsylvania for the president in the name of his deceased mother. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/voter-fraud-investigations-2020/2020/12/22/bdbe541c-42de-11eb-b0e4-0f182923a025_story.html
