Well, here in Aus, I had to deliver the absentee vote ballot (by mail) to the US Consulate General by Oct 2nd ... unless one wanted to run the gambit and risk Australia and US post.

Today is the so-called "safe harbor" day for Pennsylvania, correct? In other words, Alito gave Pennsylvania until 0800 today to give their side of the story, and then the US Supreme Court will decide if they will hear the case concerning unconstitutional mail-in ballots.

I'd say this is the mables here. If we get a fair ruling in Pennsylvania, perhaps the other states might start falling.

This seems reasonable. Don’t have to prove fraud in voting, just that the rules were changed by COVID fiat, not through legislative action...

Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules

The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.

Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures. Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. Finally, Texas argues that there were “voting irregularities” in these states as a result of the above.

Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors. The lawsuit says:

Certain officials in the Defendant States presented the pandemic as the justification for ignoring state laws regarding absentee and mail-in voting. The Defendant States flooded their citizenry with tens of millions of ballot applications and ballots in derogation of statutory controls as to how they are lawfully received, evaluated, and counted. Whether well intentioned or not, these unconstitutional acts had the same uniform effect—they made the 2020 election less secure in the Defendant States. Those changes are inconsistent with relevant state laws and were made by non-legislative entities, without any consent by the state legislatures. The acts of these officials thus directly violated the Constitution.

…

This case presents a question of law: Did the Defendant States violate the Electors Clause by taking non-legislative actions to change the election rules that would govern the appointment of presidential electors? These non-legislative changes to the Defendant States’ election laws facilitated the casting and counting of ballots in violation of state law, which, in turn, violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution. By these unlawful acts, the Defendant States have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but their actions have also debased the votes of citizens in Plaintiff State and other States that remained loyal to the Constitution.

Texas approached the Supreme Court directly because Article III provides that it is the court of first impression on subjects where it has original jurisdiction, such as disputes between two or more states.

Levin had a caller the other day suggesting a state do this. Mark was extremely enthusiastic, loved the idea, suggested maybe Texas should consider the idea.

I don't know why anyone would be surprised by China's influence. There's no way all those politicians get as wealthy as they do without cutting deals and selling their souls, Dem and Rep alike. It was GHWB and Clinton (good buddies after all) who really got the China ball rolling though.

My thoughts exactly! I'm scheduled to go there in March for a Texas BBQ Cooking school near Austin. I may just stay there!

The surprising thing to me is that it's actually out in the open on an MSM network...

Don’t move to, or near Austin, it’s a liberal city run by liberals that continue to flood into the state and fuck things up for the conservatives who live elsewhere in the state....Dallas and Houston are in the same boat.

It's the same here in Minnesota it's the metro areas that drag the rest of us who live out state down in the socialist pit with them.
Pulling up stakes in MN isn't in the cards anyhow.

I started thinking that these states where obvious cheating has happened to the point which became outcome determinative have in fact disenfranchised entire states of voters. God bless Texas, but there should be substantive penalties going forward. The citizens who sit by and watch their elected masters continue to obfuscate the truth, need to be marching with pitchforks and torches.

If anybody can do this, it is the Great State of Texas. And HOPEFULLY OTHER RED STATES WILL DO THE SAME.

And oh yeah...

God Bless Texas

This has the hand (mind) of Sen. Ted Cruz all over it, in my opinion. Cruz has gone to radio silence on his podcast lately, which usually means he's working behind the scenes on important stuff. Like this, and the PA Supreme Court case.
My observation.

President's team taking its PA challenge to SCOTUS.
Sidney Powell taking her GA challenge to SCOTUS.
The great state of Texas taking the big four fraud states to SCOTUS.

You've just got to love this!

This is a very long reach but I felt compelled to read it because I have my doubts that if the remedy is to be that the state appointed electors are to decide the election we will not get the results that are just or what we desire.

I'd be interested to hear what others think the chances are in the contested states that if they choose electors those electors will cast their vote for Trump? These states do not seem to be willing to do this on their own it appears they will do it only if they are forced to by the Supreme Court which indicates the GOP in those states are weak in the knees which is no surprise. I'm not sure I even follow the logic in this article maybe someone else can decipher it better than I.

quote:

Similarly, we think the better reading is that Vice President Pence would decide between competing slates of electors chosen by state legislators and governors, or decide whether to count votes that remain in litigation."

In this scenario, for example, when counting Pennsylvania electors, Pence could choose to "count" the slate of electors from the Republican legislature in Harrisburg and not the slate of electors from Democratic Governor Tom Wolf.

The TX suit filed directly to SCOTUS is the best news I've heard in weeks!!

It speaks directly to the question at hand.

I am not a resident of GA, PA, WI, or MI -- but my vote was damn sure impacted by their actions!!

Can other states join this suit? Or file their own?

I want to see action by the smaller states - WY needs to get in this fight.
