Donald John Trump is no longer president: what does it mean for you?

Republican officials behind a lawsuit alleging poll workers "incorrectly rejected" votes cast in person on Election Day will make their case in front of a Maricopa County Superior Court judge later this week.

The defendants — Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors — also will have a chance to produce evidence and make oral arguments, according to Judge Daniel Kiley.

But it appears unlikely the case would affect the outcome of the presidential vote. A lawyer for the county said fewer than 200 ballots are at issue.

President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign filed the lawsuit Saturday, alongside the Republican National Committee and the Arizona Republican Party. The complaint claims Maricopa County poll workers disregarded procedures designed to give voters a chance to correct ballot mistakes, possibly affecting final vote counts.

Its central claim involves “overvotes,” which happen when voters mark more options than allowed in a particular race. Because stray markings and other irregularities can cause Maricopa County tabulation machines to perceive an overvote, the tabulators are programmed to alert voters when that happens.

A voter then has two choices: “Spoil” the ballot and request a replacement, or cast the original ballot with the warning that overvotes may not be counted.


The lawsuit says voters who choose to proceed with their original ballots are entitled to a manual inspection of their ballots later and contends some poll workers urged voters to cast their ballots without further review. It calls for officials to identify and inspect Election Day ballots from Maricopa County that contain apparent "irregularities in connection with the voter’s selection of a candidate."


In a preliminary hearing held Monday, Roopali Desai, an attorney representing the Secretary of State’s Office, described the lawsuit as “an effort to find a problem when one does not exist.”

She noted the Republican Party had set up a website to solicit affidavits from voters or poll workers — undermining, she said, “the entire process and the very hard work of the many many people who are administering the election … and the voters themselves” — and argued the relief sought by the Trump campaign may not be possible under state law.

Thomas Liddy, representing Maricopa County, said the plaintiffs had offered “very little evidence” to support the idea of a systematic problem. Noting the lawsuit's claim that thousands of Trump votes could go uncounted, he countered: “Under that theory, you’d also see thousands of votes for the Democratic candidate” going uncounted.

“There were 155,860 votes voted in person on Election Day (in Maricopa County),” Liddy continued. “Of those, the tabulator only identified 180 potential overvotes on the presidential line … 180, that’s it.”

And he said it would be “absurd” to assume that all 180 were incorrectly deemed overvotes.

“There is no possibility of systematic error with only 180 out of 155,860,” he said.

C'est pas mal exactement ca que je dis, je dis pas que Trump est coupable ou pas, je dis juste qu'ils ont fuckall sur lui dans l'affaire Mueller et que ce qu'ils ont est rien d'autre que du stock libre à l'interprétation, chose qu'un juge objectif va noyer assez vite et c'est la raison pourquoi personne va aller niaiser en cours avec ca.

Je sais très bien que Stormy Daniels c'est une histoire complètement différente lol, je mélange rien je fais simplement dire que l'affaire Mueller n'était rien d'autre qu'une tentative de plus pour atteindre sa réputation dans la même sauce que Stormy, pas une vendetta personnelle pour aller attaquer le personnage une fois son mandat terminé...

Au pire on peut régler ca avec un bet? :bigup:

Scott Adams brought up an interesting point.

Most people claim that if they had a time machine they'd go back and kill/stop Hitler.

The media has brainwashed people so badly that we hear things like "Trump is literally Hitler".

So now we have an election and you have the opportunity to stop "Hitler 2.0" by committing voter fraud. Wouldn't most people in this position feel no remorse about stuffing a few extra ballots?

Also has there been any significant glitches/issues that have swung Trump's direction. If it's genuinely error and not fraud, you'd think it goes both ways.

The Republicans are hard at work packing the top positions with Trump yes men. It's also not just Trump refusing the result, Pence isn't either.

To what end though?

Pompeo is also refusing to acknowledge Biden won. What's the strategy? Filling every senior position that they can in government institutions with Trump loyalist so that come inauguration day the "institution" refuse to turn over?

I guess if they actually literally refuse to leave, and have every single decision-making position giving direct orders to that effect you'd need a massive revolt amongst the civil service.

I'd start worrying if they start removing Generals

If Republicans are bluffing about their intent to overturn this election, then their poker face is on fucking point right now:

Secretary Pompeo: "There Will Be a Smooth Transition to a Second Trump Administration"

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo responds to questions from reporters about the department's plans for transition to a new Biden-Harris administration. Secretary Pompeo begins by saying that "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration," before going on to say that he knows the world is watching, that every legal vote must be counted and that any vote that was not lawfully cast should be rejected. "There's going to be a smooth transition. We're in good shape," he says

Most notably, the stark economic rift that Brookings Metro documented after Donald Trump’s shocking 2016 victory has grown even wider. In 2016, we wrote that the 2,584 counties that Trump won generated just 36% of the country’s economic output, whereas the 472 counties Hillary Clinton carried equated to almost two-thirds of the nation’s aggregate economy.

A similar analysis for last week’s election shows these trends continuing, albeit with a different political outcome. This time, Biden’s winning base in 477 counties encompasses fully 70% of America’s economic activity, while Trump’s losing base of 2,497 counties represents just 29% of the economy.
