JUST IN: New amicus brief from 106 Republican House members in support of Texas' bid to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's win in the Supreme Court. Here they are



quote:


Over 100 GOP members of the House jointly filed a brief supporting Texas’ lawsuit against four battleground states seeking to block them from voting in the electoral college for allegedly holding illegitimate elections.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit on Tuesday challenging the election results of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, alleging that they had violated their election laws and arguing that their results should be voided. House Republicans filed an amicus brief supporting Texas’ case.


“This brief presents [our] concern as Members of Congress, shared by untold millions of their constituents, that the unconstitutional irregularities involved in the 2020 presidential election cast doubt upon its outcome and the integrity of the American system of elections,” the House Republicans’ brief says, according to The Hill reporter John Kruzel.

The filing comes after Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) sent an email to every GOP member of the House earlier this week seeking cosigners on an amicus brief supporting the Texas lawsuit.

“Today I made arrangements to file an amicus brief in the Texas case now pending at the Supreme Court on behalf of House Republicans who are all deeply concerned about the integrity of our election system,” Johnson said on Twitter on Tuesday. “Also today, my friend, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, agreed to join our state as a party to the case in support of Texas. Stay tuned for big developments …”

Epoch Times reporting the same-

Pennsylvania House Leaders File Brief to Support Texas in Supreme Court Lawsuit Against Pennsylvania
By Jack Phillips
December 10, 2020 Updated: December 10, 2020
Print

Pennsylvania’s House speaker and majority leader on Thursday filed an amici curiae brief with the Supreme Court against the state of Pennsylvania and in favor of Texas’s lawsuit against the commonwealth and three other states.

A brief (pdf) filed by Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, both Republicans, requests that the Supreme Court “carefully consider the procedural issues and questions raised by the Plaintiff concerning the administration of the 2020 General Election in Pennsylvania.”

“The unimpeachability of our elections requires clear procedures of administration so that everyone gets a fair shake. Unfortunately, outside actors have so markedly twisted and gerrymandered the Commonwealth’s Election Code to the point that amici find it unrecognizable from the laws that they enacted,” they wrote, adding that the state of Texas “raised important questions about how this procedural malfeasance affected the 2020 General Election.”

In the lawsuit, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton alleged that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin introduced changes to election laws, deeming them unconstitutional. The suit also contends that by doing so, those states treated voters unequally and created significant voting irregularities by rescinding certain ballot-integrity measures.

Filed on Monday night, the lawsuit is requesting the Supreme Court to declare the four states carried out their respective elections in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

“The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,” Paxton said in a statement announcing the legal petition.

Cutler and Benninghoff, in support of Paxton’s lawsuit, further stipulated that “under the pretextual guise of COVID-19, special interests began attempting to use Pennsylvania courts” to carry out “election procedures of their own choosing,” citing mail-in ballot extensions implemented by Kathy Boockvar, the Pennsylvania secretary of state.

Also on Thursday, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro filed a brief with the court, arguing that Paxton’s assertions are frivolous and an attempt to “disenfranchise voters” in the commonwealth.

“Its request for this Court to exercise its original jurisdiction and then anoint Texas’s preferred candidate for President is legally indefensible and is an [affront] to principles of constitutional democracy,” Shapiro’s brief read. He further argued that Texas hasn’t suffered harm “simply because it dislikes the result of the election, and nothing in the text, history, or structure of the Constitution supports Texas’s view that it can dictate the manner in which four other states run their elections.”

Yes. Pennsylvania House Leaders are opposed to the actions of their Governor and Sec. of State.
They would be in a position to choose new electors if the Texas Lawsuit is successful.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

The very fact we're at THIS STAGE is evidence enough that that this election was mishandled and that there are results that shouldn't be certified. It's only the 'deny everything, no matter what' crowd that is holding the house of cards up.

Been thinking. Seeing Fox news anti Trump , anti Conservative bent lately, Tucker Carlson's show about Chinese infiltration of political leaders was probably with held until after the election.

IF the reporting is indeed accurate, should make for a very fun hearing and positive outcome.

Well, it's the GOP legislature members of PA that join the lawsuit. Not a surprise. Obviously, you wouldn't expect their commie AG to do so.

Election Supervisor Shows on Video How Dominion Software Allows Changing, Adding Votes

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...g-votes_3613406.html

An elections supervisor in Coffee County, Georgia, demonstrated in recent videos posted online how Dominion Voting Systems voting software allows votes to be changed through an “adjudication” process. The process allows the operator to add vote marks to a scanned ballot as well as invalidate vote marks already on the ballot.

Adjudication should only serve to resolve issues of voters marking ballots incorrectly, such as filling the bubbles in a way that doesn’t clearly show who he or she voted for. Yet it appears a substantial number of ballots went through that process, at least in some Georgia counties. As the Coffee County supervisor, Misty Martin, showed, the system can be set to allow adjudication of all scanned ballots, even blank ones, and effectively allow the operator to vote those ballots.

The videos were posted by local news site Douglas Now, whose publisher, Robert Preston, told The Epoch Times they were filmed this week in the local election office.

“According to our election folks, this Dominion system is flawed, not secure, and open to manipulation if someone were so inclined,” Preston said in a Facebook message.

It’s not clear how many ballots were adjudicated statewide. The office of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger didn’t respond to a request for comment.

In Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, over 106,000 ballots were adjudicated by Nov. 4, said Richard Barron, the county’s director of elections, during a Nov. 4 press conference. In total, more than half a million ballots were cast in the county. Democrat Joe Biden leads Fulton with 381,144 votes compared to President Donald Trump’s 137,240.



Georgia is a key battleground state, controlling 16 electoral votes. The current results show Biden leading Trump by less than 12,000 votes.

“The adjudication process as allowed by Georgia law and election regulations provides for a bipartisan citizen panel to review any ballot within a batch that is flagged by the scanning software as not being clear about the voter’s intent,” said Fulton County spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt, in a statement emailed to The Epoch Times.

The panel should include one election worker, one Democrat representative, and one Republican representative. Photos taken in Fulton and Gwinnett counties indeed show three-member groups sitting around computer screens scrutinizing ballots.

“The bipartisan voter panel, not workers, performs that review to determine whether the voter’s intent is clear,” Corbitt said.

She indicated that the number cited by Barron referred to a total number of ballots in batches that went to adjudication, but not every ballot in each batch was adjudicated.

“When a batch of ballots has been adjudicated it means that any ballots flagged within that batch has gone through that citizen adjudication process,” she said.

Each batch reflects a stack of several dozen ballots fed into a ballot scanner.

Corbitt didn’t respond to any specific questions regarding the number of individual adjudicated ballots in the county, who was on the citizen panels, and whether the work of the panels can be verified through available video footage of the tabulation process.

It appears the work of the panels wasn’t affected by the restrictions imposed in response to the CCP virus pandemic. Poll watchers in many states, including Georgia, have complained they were kept so far from the election workers they couldn’t meaningfully observe what was being done.

The Georgia, Gwinnett, and Fulton branches of the Republican Party didn’t respond to requests for comment on the adjudication process and citizen panel participation.

The Coffee County videos suggest the adjudication process can be accessed by any operator of the Dominion software regardless of whether any observers are present. The system appears to lack both transparency and auditability, based on Martin’s account.

The software can be set to trigger adjudication for “ambiguous” ballots and overvoted ballots, but also to adjudicate all scanned ballots, Martin said. The operator would then be able to change the votes with no trace of who did it or which ballots were changed. The system would only mark that at least one ballot in the batch was adjudicated, but “it can’t be tracked to exactly what ballot it was,” she said.

Dominion didn’t respond to emailed questions regarding the adjudication feature of its software.

Information from Gwinnett County, which also went for Biden, indicates only absentee ballots are subject to adjudication, since on election day, people mark their choices on a machine, which then prints out the ballot—this, at least in theory, eliminates the possibility of the voter marking the ballot wrong.

The adjudication process actually started weeks before the election, the county says on its website, since the state election board allowed counties to start opening absentee ballots and scanning them on Oct. 19. The state is getting sued over that decision since the state’s law says absentee ballots can only be opened on Election Day.

On Nov. 3, the county reported that since Oct. 19, “the [adjudication] review panels completed a total of 5,900 batches of ballots.”

That would easily account for all the more than 120,000 absentee ballots cast in the county, indicating that all or nearly all batches would be marked in the system as adjudicated.

People who vote early in person in Georgia also cast absentee ballots. It’s not clear whether those ballots are marked by hand or by a machine and whether they are subject to adjudication.

Gwinnett County didn’t respond to emailed questions.

Another question is what happens with the adjudicated ballot. It appears that when the scanner fails to read a ballot for some reason, the ballot needs to be duplicated through a vote marking machine—the voter’s choices are entered by an election worker on a touch screen and the machine then prints out a replacement ballot.

Videos from the absentee ballot counting center at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta show several people operating a machine that is apparently printing out replacement ballots. There appears to be nobody observing the process. The county spokeswoman didn’t provide a comment on those videos.

The duplication process might explain why a polling manager in Fulton County testified that she encountered a box of ballots with a batch of 110 that were “pristine” and not folded.

Coffee County refused to certify its election results, citing issues with the Dominion software. The Secretary of State’s office blamed the county for delaying the certification.

Dominion has been in the hot seat over allegations of security gaps in its systems. State Rep. Matt Hall, a Republican who chairs the Michigan House Oversight Committee, recently threatened Dominion’s CEO with a subpoena if he doesn’t appear before his committee voluntarily.

Last week, a state judge ordered a forensic audit of 22 Dominion machines in Michigan’s Antrim County, which was flagged last month by GOP officials as having switched 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden before it was reportedly corrected.

A member of Trump’s legal team said an “independent team” took part in the audit.

Yeah, because to them, judicial process means throwing the Constitution out the window and a judge going with prison rules.
