Carter Page filing $75M lawsuit against the DoJ and FBI for unlawful surveillance and general fuckery. Good luck, dipshit.

Expensive votes, if Trump would have paid me half that i'd have gotten me and 86 friends to move to Wisconsin and vote for him.

[Athas]

Has the money for recounts already been paid out, or is it something that he still owes?

[mallister]

iirc, it has to be paid up front.

[Gredival]

They made him pay upfront because he is who he is, which is why he only wanted a recount in counties with big cities

Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein’s campaign raised money to fund Wisconsin’s recount, paying $3.5 million upfront.

I dont think paying upfront has anything to do with Trump.

Well, she is a Russian asset.

Correct, the funds to pay people have to be secured before the recount can be started. That said, if that wasn't the case, these states would be dumb not to do it anyway. I think he is walking away with 85 million in campaign dept that still hasn't been paid to all the other states for rallies, etc.

[NynJa]

The point I'm tryna make is theres so much shit to dunk on Trump with, people making things up to try and dunk on him further, ie: "theyre making him pay for recounts upfront because its Trump", makes you look like a clown.

[Gredival]

Pretty sure Stein tried for an entire recount whereas Trump scaled his down to reduce the bill

What does that have to do with the fact that they made him pay up front because that's how the process works and not because of his reputation?

I hate it when you fuckers make me agree with Nynja. Dude doesn't even know how to spell Ninja.

[Yabby]

One person suggested Trump's rep was the reason, and promptly moved on, why you guys are freaking the fuck out over it is beyond me.

[Day]

not sure anyone is "freaking out"

The Pennsylvania monstrosity that was submitted by Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and the Four Seasons Total Litigation supporting cast was terrible. It made, according to a federal appeals court ruling, “vague and conclusory” allegations about alleged misconduct, tried to get the court to do things that would violate the U.S. Constitution, and had, in the court’s words, “no merit.” Their case was such complete nonsense that two courts and four judges decided it was too dumb to fix.

You don’t need to read far to see how truly awful these lawsuits are. Start with the simplest and most eye-catchingly obvious: Complaints in federal lawsuits have set formatting—at the top of the first page are the words “IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE ____ DISTRICT OF ____.” It’s a ritual formula, it’s hard to mess up, and every lawyer I know who practices in federal courts uses a fill-in-the-blanks template. Every lawyer except Sidney Powell, I guess—because between the two filings she managed to spell the word “district” four different ways, batting .250 on accuracy.

It's pretty spectacular and I read the entire thing like legal porno. I posted many of the juiciest quotes on my social media repasted here for fun. This is as close to flippant as a judge can be in a professional court document.

'"Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.

The Trump Presidential Campaign asserts that Pennsylvania’s 2020 election was unfair. But as lawyer Rudolph Giuliani stressed, the Campaign “doesn’t plead fraud. . . . [T]his is not a fraud case.”. Instead, it objects that Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State and some counties restricted poll watchers and let voters fix technical defects in their mail-in ballots. It offers nothing more."'

"Plus, tossing out millions of mail-in ballots would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate and upsetting all down-ballot races too. That remedy would be grossly disproportionate to the procedural challenges raised."

"Plaintiffs must do more than allege conclusions. Rather, “a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to ‘state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.’” “Threadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice.”

"The relief sought—throwing out millions of votes—is unprecedented. Finally, the Second Amended Complaint seeks breathtaking relief: barring the Commonwealth from certifying its results or else declaring the election results defective and ordering the Pennsylvania General Assembly, not the voters, to choose Pennsylvania’s presidential electors. It cites no authority for this drastic remedy." Read that again-- the "law and order" party is asking for all of Georgia's votes to be voided.

"As discussed, the Campaign cannot win this lawsuit. It conceded that it is not alleging election fraud. It has already raised and lost most of these state-law issues, and it cannot relitigate them here. It cites no federal authority regulating poll watchers or notice and cure. It alleges no specific discrimination. And it does not contest that it lacks standing under the Elections and Electors Clauses. These claims cannot succeed." *chef's kiss*

"The Campaign has already litigated and lost most of these issues as garden-variety state-law claims. It now tries to turn them into federal constitutional claims but cannot."

"It cherry-picks votes cast in “Democratic-heavy counties” but not “those in Republican-heavy counties.” Second Am. Compl. ¶ 8. Without compelling evidence of massive fraud, not even alleged here, we can hardly grant such lopsided relief."
"The Campaign would have us set aside 1.5 million ballots without even alleging fraud. As the deadline to certify votes has already passed, granting relief would disenfranchise those voters or sidestep the expressed will of the people."

"Voters, not lawyers, choose the President. Ballots, not briefs, decide elections."

"Seeking to turn those state-law claims into federal ones, the Campaign claims discrimination. But its alchemy cannot transmute lead into gold. The Campaign never alleges that any ballot was fraudulent or cast by an illegal voter. It never alleges that any defendant treated the Trump campaign or its votes worse than it treated the Biden campaign or its votes. Calling something discrimination does not make it so."

Christy Smith concedes to Rep. Mike Garcia for the CA-25 seat. Garcia won by 333 votes.
