This better get shot down or else you'll know the judiciary is in on it.

If states can't sue to block Trump's clearly unconstitutional attempts to influence how states run their elections because nobody has cause for harm yet, this absurd waste of the court's time should fall for the same reason.

We had what, 60 frivolous lawsuits last time?

I expect Trump knows he'll be impeached if he loses both houses of congress so he is about to subvert this election in a very Putin sort of way, he'll be damned if Thiel's boy toy takes the reins from him.

Only if some Senate Republicans come along. They need 60 to convict in the Senate.

You're right; I was wrong.

The strict language is 2/3rds of the Senators present.

Like a loser at one of Trump's failed casinos, if the wheel doesn't land on your color, threaten to sue the casino and demand a do-over.

If Trump can rig the votes in Alaska, he can rig the votes, using a different excuse in Georgia, in South Carolina.
When Barack Obama was president, I trusted my government, with Trump as President, I trust that I cannot believe or trust the grifting fascists running any department in DC.

www.newsnationnow.com

... A new poll released Friday suggests half of Americans are concerned Republicans may try to overturn the results of November's midterm election.

Fifty percent of respondents to the New York Times/Siena University survey said they were either "very" or "somewhat worried" the GOP may use "illegal means" to overturn the election, compared to 49 percent who are either "not too worried" or "not at all worried."

A strong majority of Democrats -- 86 percent -- were among the share of likely voters who reported feeling worry about potential GOP election interference, and 52 percent independents felt the same. Even 10 percent of Republicans say they are worried their own party would overturn the results.

NYT/Siena also asked respondents if they feared Democrats may overturn the results, and 31 percent said they were -- a group mainly consisting of Republicans.

Still, similar shares of Democratic, Republican and independents respondents to the NYT/Siena poll said they trusted midterm results would be accurate. And, across all parties, likely voters' trust reached 74 percent. ...
