  1. It was actually this one, tossing a small number of ballots of voters in PA who had not verified their identity before a deadline. https://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2020/11/12/trump-campaign-election-2020-presidential-pennsylvania-lawsuit-ballots-late-identification/stories/202011120132
  2. This. I went on a ski vacation with a few friends last NYE in the Northeast. One of my friends got really sick, with a fever, and horrible cough. To the point she had multiple doctor visits, antibiotics, steroids, etc. Nothing worked and it lasted for months. Convinced it was covid. But antibody tests were negative.
  3. No. But Edison County was.
  4. I would be much more inclined to excuse something as incompetence or give the attorney the benefit of the doubt, if Powell didn't repeatedly exhibit "incompetence" in various ways while filing lawsuits on behalf of the President of the United States, trying to overturn an election, knowing that the documents she is submitting are purportedly of international importance and scrutiny. This isn't a single, dumb error in a routine slip and fall case where the attorney either did something stupid because he/she was rushing or something slipped through.
  5. There is no Edison County anywhere in the US.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_counties_and_county_equivalents
  6. So which one of you assholes filed this gem?
  7. Making that information public is ripe for abuse. Bezos could threaten to fire any Amazon employee who didn't vote the way he wants. Or offer bonuses to employees who vote for his candidate. Etc. Sure, my employer now could probably make an educated guess I voted for Biden, based on the neighborhood I live in, etc. But they can't tie my employment to that.
  8. Maybe. But it would absolutely have to be something that only the voter could verify. Not the public. Otherwise talk about giving more power to our corporate overlords. All we need is employers able to verify, and perhaps dictate, how their employees vote. But we do need a good paper trail. We should go to scantron. Quick and accurate to tabulate, and there's a paper trail.
  9. Nope. Only allegation in the complaint is that PA's vote by mail law violates the PA Constitution.
  10. The complaint only alleges violations of the Pennsylvania constitution. There aren't any grounds for this to get SCOTUS review.
  11. And that's a bingo. They tossed it on laches.
  12. No. But the brief was an amicus brief filed by Democrats Abroad. The briefs filed by the DNC and Counties being sued were both professional and well written. I didn't read them real carefully, but what I did read was impressive--especially giving the time constraints they wrote those briefs under. And those briefs, which present cogent, well-written legal arguments only make trump's briefs look all the worse.
  13. And some finding out.
  14. And some more fucking around.
  15. Some more fucking around.
  16. Hell, in my facebook memories the other day, I came across a photo I took of a truck with what at the time I thought was tons of flags and stickers supporting the NY Giants. Thought the truck was hysterical at the time, and I hadn't seen anything like it. I looked at the picture yesterday, and it just looked like an extremely sedate on tranquilizers version of the MAGA trucks.
  17. I went door to door in Philly, handing out Soros checks to everyone.
  18. How the fuck do you file a motion for expedited review, and then miss your filing deadline?
  19. That's a who the fuck knows, mainly because trump's lawyers have made such a hash of this. They'll move this quickly because of the time constraints. But yesterday Rudy said they wanted to file a Second Amended Complaint, which if the appeal is successful, would require them litigating the whole thing again before Judge Brann, then appealing to Third Circuit, and then going to SCOTUS, assuming they take cert.
  20. So to the best I can decipher it, and bearing in mind that trump's lawyers have filed cockamamie nonsense, they filed a notice for an emergency appeal of the PA District Court decision, which they want to be heard right away, and set a short briefing schedule, because of the certification deadline. To do this you file a Notice of Appeal and specify what specifically you're appealing. They earlier said they only wanted to appeal the denial of the opportunity to file a Second Amended Complaint, seeking to change what they were alleging before the trial court, and did not want to appeal the rest of it, including the dismissal of the existing complaint. They basically wanted a do over on the entire litigation before Judge Brann. Today, they said, no, actually we also want to appeal the dismissal of the First Amended Complaint. We think that was also a viable complaint and should not be dismissed. And because of the timing issues, we only want until 4 pm today to file our papers, and to give the Commonwealth 24 hours to respond. The Commonwealth is saying WTF. What is being appealed? We have 24 hours to write these papers, and we don't even know what trump is appealing or arguing. Also, typically, when you file a Notice of Appeal, you have to state everything you are appealing. You can't file a Notice of Appeal, and amend it later on to add new things you thought the trial court got wrong. But trump's lawyers are trying to do just that, and the other side, is saying WTF, but worded more legalese sounding.
  21. To Brisket's point about competent adverse counsel being far better to deal with:
