Trump Campaign Seeks Expedited Appeal of Dismissed Pa. Case

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar

Pennsylvania officials can certify election results that currently show Democrat Joe Biden winning the state by more than 80,000 votes, a federal judge ruled Saturday, dealing President Donald Trump's campaign another blow in its effort to invalidate the election.

Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax TV's Mark Halperin via text Saturday night the expedited dismissal is helpful for filing an expedited appeal and potentially raising the case to the Supreme Court.

Campaign senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis also pointed to the decision as a positive development in their effort to push the case relatively quickly to the Supreme Court. In a joint statement, they said they would seek an expedited appeal to the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, turned down the request for an injunction by President Donald Trump’s campaign, spoiling the incumbent’s hopes of somehow overturning the results of the presidential contest.

In his ruling, Brann said the Trump campaign presented "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations ... unsupported by evidence."

"In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state," the opinion said. "Our people, laws, and institutions demand more."

Trump had argued the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law was violated when Pennsylvania counties took different approaches to notifying voters before the election about technical problems with their submitted mail-in ballots.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and the seven Biden-majority counties that the campaign sued had argued Trump had previously raised similar claims and lost.

They told Brann the remedy the Trump campaign sought, to throw out millions of votes over alleged isolated issues, was far too extreme, particularly after most of them have been tallied.

"There is no justification on any level for the radical disenfranchisement they seek," Boockvar's lawyers wrote in a brief filed Thursday.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, tweeted shortly after Brann's ruling, saying "Another one bites the dust."

"These claims were meritless from the start and for an audience of one," he said in a statement. "The will of the people will prevail. These baseless lawsuits need to end."

The state's 20 electoral votes would not have been enough on their own to hand Trump a second term. Counties must certify their results to Boockvar by Monday, after which she will make her own certification.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf will notify the winning candidate’s electors they should appear to vote in the Capitol on Dec. 14.

Sidney Powell: 'Biblical' Lawsuit Coming, Accuses Ga. Gov. Kemp of Deal With Dominion

Levying explosive claims of widespread voter fraud specifically tied to Dominion Voting Systems and potentially a pay-for-play scheme with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp, Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell on Newsmax TV vowed to deliver a "biblical" voter fraud case this week.

"We've got tons of evidence; it's so much, it's hard to pull it all together," Powell told Saturday night's "The Count" co-hosted by Rob Schmitt and Mark Halperin, teasing the explosive allegation of the Georgia governor in a contested and key battleground state.

"Hopefully this week we will get it ready to file, and it will be biblical."

"It's a massive project to pull this fraud claim together with the evidence that I want to put in," she added.

"You name the manner of fraud and it occurred in Georgia."

Among the most explosive claims alluded to by Powell were:

• Joe Biden votes being "weighted" at 1.25 times and President Donald Trump votes being parsed at 3/4.
• Algorithms that gave Democrats 35,000 extra votes.
• Modifications made to voting machines after statuatory cutoff dates for changes.
• Past election victories, including Hillary Clinton's primary victory over Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., being forced decided by Dominion Voting Systems.
• Alleged pay-for-play kick backs to public officials, potentially even Georgia GOP Gov. Kemp for a late grant to use Dominion Voting Systems.

"George is probably going to be the first state I'm gonna blow up," Powell said rhetorically with her pending lawsuits alleging massive voter fraud.

The President held a press briefing Friday that emphasized his commitment to America’s seniors and patients affected by high medication costs.

President Trump touted his deal, which places the U.S. under the “Favored Nations” clause. Drugmakers previously charged the U.S. more for medications compared to other countries.

The President also commended his administration for lowering the cost of insulin. He cited their efforts to cap the price of the drug to $35 a month and noted his policies remove middlemen from the equation, which allows for greater discounts to go to patients.

“With the costs adding up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year per patient, today’s action ends this injustice and requires that these discounts go directly to people,” President Trump stated. “These are the people that need it. This will save patients up to 30%…Could be much higher than that. These are numbers that nobody has ever even contemplated.”

UPDATED 5:45 PM PT – Friday, November 20, 2020

Steve Cortes, the President’s senior campaign advisor, said the corporate mainstream media wants Americans to believe them over the truth. On Friday, Cortes took to Twitter to highlight the mainstream media’s efforts to push the Democrat agenda.

He pointed to two different polls released since Election Day from ‘Politico‘ and ‘Gallup,’ which showed the majority of Americans distrust the election coverage and alleged election results. Cortes also said the media has a very specific goal.

“Number one: they think that if they repeat that Joe Biden is the president-elect 5,000 times to you that will somehow make it so,” Cortes noted. “Secondly, they want you to assume that if you…doubt these election results you are some sort of conspiracy theorist nutjob. That is not the actual reality.”

Cortes reiterated that it is not the media’s job to decide the election. He left viewers with the message to stay vigilant and educated because the real results will prove the President’s victory.

 

Dumbass Dems Wanted It, Now Live With It: AOC Looks for Biden to Keep Promise on Green New Deal

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, and other members of the ''squad'' called on Joe Biden to approve the Green New Deal if he becomes president, according to Breitbart.

''Climate is now a top-three issue for voters across the country and it is about time that our Congress and our administration starts acting like it,'' Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with Democracy Now!

"So that’s what our next move is, is to make sure that the Biden administration keeps its promise. We know that we don’t just make that demand and walk away. We have to organize for it. We have to bring the heat for it. Because there’s a whole lot of people that tried to just shove a bunch of money before this election to try to buy their seat at the (Democrats) table. But we organized for ours, and we’re not easily going to let that go," Ocasio-Cortez said.

Ocasio-Cortez continued, "So our demand here is to make sure that we keep this promise, that we follow through on a visionary, absolutely unprecedented $2 trillion plan that’s not just about money, but also it’s one of the first presidential plans to honor the treaty rights of native people, one of the first rights to make sure that we have environmental justice front and center."

Mich. Republicans, After Meeting Trump, Say No Information to Change Election Outcome

THIEF and CROOK.

 

Hunter Biden is a Thief and Crook just like his dad, but don't try to find this on Twitter because his buddy the CEO of Twitter is covering for him.

Michigan's Republican state legislative leaders said after meeting with President Donald Trump on Friday that they had no information that would change the outcome of the presidential election in the state, which appears, pending certification, to have been won by Democrat Joe Biden.

"We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan’s electors," Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and House of Representatives Speaker Lee Chatfield said in a joint statement.

Michigan is one of several states where the campaign of the Republican Trump is seeking to challenge Biden's victory in the Nov. 3 election based on claims of voter fraud.

Before Friday's meeting, White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany said: "This is not an advocacy meeting. There will be no one from the campaign there. He routinely meets with lawmakers from all across the country."

Shirkey and Chatfield said any allegation of election fraud should be thoroughly investigated. "Michigan’s certification process should be a deliberate process free from threats and intimidation," they said.

The visit came amid Trump's legal challenges in multiple battleground states. Unofficial returns show Biden won Michigan by more than 154,000 votes.

Michigan's Board of State Canvassers is to certify results of the 2020 election on Monday.

On other topics, the lawmakers said In a joint statement they highlighted during the meeting their commitment to seeing "further federal dollars" for Michigan as the state deals with the COVID-19 pandemic, The Detroit News reported.

Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election In Michigan, Wisconsin, And Pennsylvania

https://thefederalist.com/

 

As of this writing, it appears that Democratic Party machines in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are trying to steal the election.

As reporters and commentators went to bed early Tuesday morning, all three states were too close to call, but President Trump led former Vice President Joe Biden by comfortable margins—far beyond what had been predicted in the polls. None of the networks called these states because enough mail-in ballots remained uncounted that it could swing either way, but Trump’s position looked good.

Then, something strange happened in the dead of the night. In both Michigan and Wisconsin, vote dumps early Wednesday morning showed 100 percent of the votes going for Biden and zero percent—that’s zero, so not even one vote—for Trump.

In Michigan, Biden somehow got 138,339 votes and Trump got none, zero, in an overnight vote-dump.

When my Federalist colleague Sean Davis noted this, Twitter was quick to censor his tweet, even though all he had done was compare two sets of vote totals on the New York Times website. And he wasn’t the only one who noticed—although on Wednesday it appeared that anyone who noted the Biden vote dump in Michigan was getting censored by Twitter.

Others were quick to note the partisan censorship from Twitter and raise concerns over how 100 percent of a vote dump could possibly go to Biden. But the social media giant has maintained its crackdown on sharing this information. Twitter users could not like or share a tweet from the Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh noting the 138,339-vote dump.

Buzzfeed later reported that according to a spokesperson at Decision Desk HQ, the votes for Biden were the result of a “data error” from a “file created by the state that we ingested.” When the state noticed the “error” it updated its count, which somehow gave 138,339 votes to Biden and zero to Trump.

It turns out, the vote dump was the result of an alleged typo, an extra zero that had been tacked onto Biden’s vote total in Shiawassee County, Michigan. It seems the error was discovered only because Davis and other Twitter users noted how insane and suspicious the vote totals looked, and demanded an investigation that uncovered what was either a typo or an incredibly clumsy attempt to boost Biden’s vote count.

There was also something suspicious about the vote reporting in Antrim County, Michigan, where Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 30 points in 2016. Initial vote totals there showed Biden ahead of Trump by 29 points, a result that can’t possibly be accurate, as plenty of journalists noted.

After the strange results caught national attention, election officials in Antrim County said they were investigating what they called “skewed” results, working with the company that provides their election software to see what went wrong. The county clerk said they plan to have an answer by Wednesday afternoon.

Then another mysterious all-Biden vote dump happened in Wisconsin. Biden miraculously overcame a 4.1-point Trump lead in the middle of the night thanks to vote dumps in which he got—you guessed it—100 percent of the votes and Trump got zero.

On Wednesday, the Trump campaign demanded a full recount in Wisconsin, citing “reports of irregularities in several Wisconsin counties which raise serious doubts about the validity of the results.”

In Pennsylvania, the Democratic scheme to steal the election is a bit different. Rather than vote dumps that impossibly go 100 percent to Biden, Pennsylvania is relying on the Democratic Secretary of State’s plan to count indisputably late mail-in ballots as though they were received on Election Day—even if they have no postmark.

This plan was of course rubber-stamped by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which cited the need for “equitable relief” to address mail delays amid the pandemic.

Note that this isn’t just about ballots that come in after Election Day, but about ballots that come in after Election Day that don’t even have a postmark—that is, there is no way to tell when the ballots were mailed, or from where.

Although it’s true that the long delays we’ve seen for absentee ballot counts are due in part to state laws in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania that prohibit the counting of absentee ballots before Election Day, which is not the case in most other states. But the cumulative circumstances under which these absentees ballots are now being tallied is highly suspicious.

Unless election officials in Michigan and Wisconsin can explain the overnight vote-dumps and, in Michigan, the “typo” that appeared to benefit Biden, and Pennsylvania officials can explain their rationale for counting ballots with no postmark, the only possible conclusion one can come to right now is that Democrats are trying to steal the election in the Midwest.
