The Donald Trump Score Card

Make it 18 states now, oh and the Trump team has really put on the gloves.. Look, not many know the Constitution better than Ted:

3,246 U.S. coronavirus deaths on Dec. 9.

At Trump's 'vaccine summit' this week he boasted about the total number of people who have been infected. It's been rising at an increasing rate during the autumn surge due in part to the lack of compliance to safety guidelines that people like Trump and DeSantis have exacerbated.

Trump has said nothing about the increasing death rate.

 

18 Red States Are Demanding the Supreme Court Declare Trump Winner of the Election

excerpt:

"Texas’ case argues that election officials shouldn’t be allowed to change voting rules, even though GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott did just that when he extended in-person voting by a week via executive order. And it says it shouldn’t be allowed for states to count votes mailed but not received by Election Day — even though Kansas and Mississippi, two of the new signatories, allow that as well.

Trump and his allies have been routinely embarrassed in court for their efforts to flip multiple states to Trump’s column: As of Wednesday, they’d lost 51 of the 52 cases that have been decided. In trial after trial, Trump and Co. have failed to show any real evidence of the widespread voter fraud that they have routinely claimed in public."

Trump lawyer calls military ballots cast in Nevada 'criminal voter fraud'

Trump lawyer calls military ballots cast in Nevada 'criminal voter fraud' | KSNV

excerpt:

"The list provided by Weir gives no way of telling how long these voters have been out of town, and how many are in college. However, the data shows something telling -- many of the votes that Weir claims to be fraudulent have overseas military addresses.

To be specific, 132 of the out-of-town addresses listed have Army Post Office addresses -- addresses used for active service Army and Air Force personnel serving overseas.

Another 13 are listed as Fleet Post Office addresses, which are reserved for those serving overseas in the Navy.

"This is a military town," said Gloria. "We have Nellis Air Force Base. We also have several students who travel out of state to go to school. Those students are eligible to vote here in Nevada. We also have local representatives, congressmen, senators. They're up in Washington, working."

Another 10 addresses are listed as being from Washington, DC, and 16 are addresses reserved for overseas diplomats."

 

Trump had been ranting for many months about alleged voter fraud in the upcoming 2020 election.

Paxton could have filed his current Supreme Court suit or similar types of suits that appeal directly to the Supreme Court just after the election or even well before the election when states had modified their election procedures.

The suits that Trump's supporters have filed in individual states could have been filed long before the election. PA changed its election rules in 2019. PA has been targeted repeatedly by pro-Trump attorneys after the election, including the latest Paxton suit.

The Legal Fight Awaiting Us After the Election
The aftermath of November’s vote has the potential to make 2000 look like a mere skirmish.

The Legal Fight Awaiting Us After the Election

excerpt:

"In a recent poll by Hawkfish, a data firm associated with Democrats, only nineteen per cent of Trump supporters said that they planned to vote by mail, compared with sixty-nine per cent of Biden supporters. Using data from late-summer polls, Hawkfish predicted that Election Night results could show Trump in the lead, with a total of four hundred and eight electoral votes. Four days later, with seventy-five per cent of the mail-in votes counted, Biden would take the lead, with two hundred and eighty electoral votes and, with all the votes counted, the former Vice-President would win the Presidency, with three hundred and thirty-four electoral votes."

 

Ohio counts mail-in ballots before election day. The results can't be shown until after polls close on election day..

That approach made it appear that Biden was doing better in Ohio than he really was due to early results on election night showing predominantly mail-in votes that favored Biden.

Trump took a significant lead later as election day in-person votes were tabulated and released. Trump won Ohio by about 8%, higher than polls had predicted.

According to Trump's claims about vote dumps favoring a particular candidate and polls being inaccurate, Ohio was full of fraud and the election was stolen from Biden.


Ohio's largest county likely to reveal hundreds of thousands of votes in minutes

 

Trump admitted to trying to hamper the right of people to vote legally by blocking USPS funding to cripple it.

It was a slimy maneuver by a president who levels evidence-lacking election fraud accusations at others.

For any president to behave like that at all is repulsive.

It was similar to his ploy of withholding U.S. taxpayer money to Ukraine until he received a favor that would improve his chances of reelection.

Trump admits he's blocking postal cash to stop mail-in votes

excerpt:

“If we don’t make a deal, that means they don’t get the money,” Trump told host Maria Bartiromo. “That means they can’t have universal mail-in voting; they just can’t have it.”

CBS News: President Trump to have private lunch with several attorneys general

excerpt:

"CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - President Donald Trump is expected to have a private lunch with several Republican state attorneys general Thursday, according to CBS News.

CBS News White House Correspondent Weijia Jiang tweeted that President Trump was hosting the private lunch to “discuss issues important to their citizens and the country,” according to the White House.

Jiang says the guest list includes several attorneys general backing a Supreme Court brief challenging election results. That includes South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson.

Jiang reports a White House official said the attorneys general are in town for a pre-planned meeting, and that this luncheon was planned around that meeting several weeks ago."

 

From a hygiene standpoint, it might be better if Trump leaves early and doesn't meet with Biden at the White House on inaugural day. Trump doesn't seem like he wants to do it, and it would give Biden time to disinfect the White House.

excerpt:

"A silver lining in Mr. Trump’s post-election tantrum has been witnessing mostly state-level Republicans stand up for the democratic process against extreme pressure from the president and his supporters. Yet in many of these cases, the officials involved had no legal option to do otherwise. And even some of those who did the right thing when the law demanded it have turned around and attacked others caught between official responsibilities and partisan pressure — in an attempt to pass the buck onto some other official who does not have the luxury of denying the truth."

Trump To Meet With Ten State Attorneys General Backing Case To Overturn Election

excerpt:

"The list of attendees, provided to Forbes by White House spokesperson Judd Deere, includes Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is spearheading the lawsuit, which is aimed at overturning the results in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Also on the list are the attorneys general of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and Utah, all of whom signed an amicus brief released Wednesday supporting the Texas case – as well as the attorney general-elect of Indiana, who backs outgoing Attorney General Curtis Hill’s support of the case.

Also expected to attend is Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich – who represents a state Biden won and who filed a separate amicus brief “respecting” the Texas lawsuit – and Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who did not join either brief."
