Just The News: As the Trump campaign expands its lawsuits — including new filings Wednesday in Georgia and Pennsylvania — legal scholars say they are likely rooted in the Constitution’s voting law authority, which limits the power of non-legislative actors trying to assert their power over balloting.
Trump has assembled a high-powered legal team to combat what it says is executive and judicial overreach in key battleground states led by Democratic governors. The Elections Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 4) gives state legislatures the authority to set the time, place and manner of federal elections, i.e., the rules governing the election process, including absentee ballots. Republicans say this legislative power has been eroded by both executive and judicial mission creep.
In Wisconsin, for example, the Governor, Tony Evers is a Democrat, but both chambers of the legislature are held by Republicans. The Trump campaign has filed for a recount in the Badger State amid a razor-thin lead held by rival Joe Biden. The Supreme Court late last month rejected Democrats’ request to extend the deadline for counting mail-in ballots in Wisconsin beyond Election Day because of coronavirus concerns.
The GOP and the Trump campaign also announced Wednesday they are suing Pennsylvania, claiming the extension of a voter ID deadline is in violation of state law. The Keystone State has a Democratic governor, Tom Wolf, and a state supreme court with a majority of partisan, elected justices — five of its seven judges were Democrats upon their first election. The court recently ruled against Republicans and allowed Pennsylvania to accept ballots received up until 3 days after Election Day.
The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to that ruling, letting it stand for now with a 4-4 ruling, prior to Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s seating. Republicans brought the case up to the high court a second time after Barrett’s seating and were again denied a hearing on the case prior to Election Day (Barrett did not vote on that ruling, saying she hadn’t had time to review the case). Republicans say a third try might see a different outcome, if the court agrees to hear the case in an emergency situation like the current electoral uncertainty.
Conservative activists filed a lawsuit on Election Day against the Pennsylvania state secretary alleging that a last-minute rule change to the state’s ballot-counting process is privileging some voters over others and potentially slanting the outcome of the election.
On Wednesday, Trump’s team also filed a lawsuit in Georgia, where a GOP poll observer saw 53 late absentee ballots “illegally added to a stack of on-time absentee ballots in Chatham County,” said Deputy Campaign Manager and Senior Counsel Justin Clark. “We will not allow Democrat election officials to steal this election.” read more
Thank God it is Trump this is happening to. The dirty Dems are messing with the wrong guy.
Trump is a fighter.
He is not Mittens or Bush. He will not roll over like a good dog and take his bitter pill.
He is exposing the real corruption and the rats don’t like it.
Off topic, I don’t mind clicking on “Skip Ad” but having to see Bill O’Reilly’s and Bill Gates’ faces is just torture. 😉

What happens if the SC rules in Biden’s favor? Are we just supposed to say, “Oh well, I guess even though they cheated he’s still the president.” I’m serious, what are we supposed to do, just pretend the fraud didn’t happen and go on?
Steve Bannon was on fire today on his War Room show. He claims that Trump has been effectively elected, between the legal action being undertaken to reverse the mail-in ballot fraud, or at the very worst if the election can’t be certified on time then the House of Representatives elect/certify the president – not the representatives themselves, but each individual state’s delegates. And Republicans control 28 of 50, I’m a little uncertain as to how that works exactly, but Bannon was adamant.
Like I said, this feels like a CIA opp.

My prediction: That compromised son of a bitch, John Roberts, is going to continue to frustrate those who believe the US Constitution stands for something. He and the Democrats are not going to prevail, but he is going to be a problem.
Viganò: America is in midst of ‘colossal electoral fraud,’ we must pray NOW to defeat enemy ..
We have seen the deep state organize itself, well in advance, to carry out the most colossal electoral fraud in history, in order to ensure the defeat of the man who has strenuously opposed the establishment of the New World Order that is wanted by the children of darkness. In this battle, you have not failed, as is your sacred duty, to make your own contribution by taking the side of the Good. Others, enslaved by vices or blinded by infernal hatred against Our Lord, have taken the side of Evil.
Do not think that the children of darkness act with honesty, and do not be scandalized if they operate with deception. Do you perhaps believe that Satan’s followers are honest, sincere, and loyal? The Lord has warned us against the Devil: “He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies” (Jn 8:44).
If the world had more Bishop like Vigano we would not be in the mess we are in today

Donald Trump is a lion.
beachmom,
Adblock Plus. Free and works 99.9%. Download off CNET. I have used it for years.
Watching this Great Election Fraud unfold, I have to wonder why Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani waited until October to set loose the Humper Biden hard drive scandal. Why not July or August? Who did the shop owner inform during the Impeachment Hearings that didn’t act on this information? What are the names of the two Senators who didn’t use this to defend President Trump? Was it an old friend of Dementia Joe, or an old enemy of President Trump?
If you’re going to use adblock please give us a break and don’t use it on our site. Our jalopy is expensive to run. Thank you much. 🙂
Where is that asshole Barr?

CCNV I don’t use ad blockers on this site.
It’s because of the pop up ads on this site that I’m considering an ad blocker.
There is no Constitution protected right for an individual to vote in a Federal election. I wish our founders had specificaly stated that the States couldn’t allow it themselves so we wouldn’t be in such a mess as we are now.
By the way MJA, the pop ups don’t bother me but the redirection to other sites without a prominent link back to IOTW is very aggravating, especially on a smartphone. I wish you could fix this with your advertisers somehow.
I sure hope this is true!
TRAP SET: Dept of Homeland Security controlled “official ballots” production. Dems print extras, not knowing about non-radioactive isotope watermarks on “official ballots”.
