All 17 are trump wins. All are Republican Attorney’s General probably under coercion bound together out of fear of recrimination. No one takes the suit seriously. likely not even these guys. It isn’t grounded by any evidence and is destined to fail if not thrown out. But, it does play well at home with the magas.

Once Trump isn’t president, his false pandemic and election fraud claims - which he will definitely not give up on - should be enough to get him booted, since he’ll then be playing by the same rules as everyone else, in theory. That’ll be fun to watch.

North Dakota: Hold my beer!
(That’s carrying the “Covid is a myth” thing a little too far.)
What I hate is when you don’t have the word or phrase that they’re looking for, but you have the other words for the same thing. (If people are still taking Word documents, one day I’m going to spam the hidden metadata.)

Oh this is really good. I also want a few more before your/you’re “done.”
-Abolish the electoral college and go to straight popular vote amendment
-A presidential tax disclosure and ethics act or better yet amendment
-Congessional and judicial term limits! Even SCOTUS! Goddamn!
-Medicare for all or just a national health system of some kind, aka socialized medicine
-Tax the rich. No wait, let’s EAT them. Or watch as we force them to fight and then eat each other. Yes, this is getting dark, but they are the real problem here.

If you’re going to do all that, (and you should) why wouldn’t you ditch all the 18th century stuff from your system, like voting on Tuesdays (seriously, why the hell would that be in the constitution?) and lame-duck sessions and stupid electoral colleges.

No need to abolish the EC if the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact goes through, but yes, kill the EC somehow.
Yes to all the rest, though I was trying to keep the scope to voting and elections.
But thank you for reminding me:
-DC and Puerto Rico statehood
Tuesday as Election Day is tough, since it’s in the Constitution. It also becomes largely irrelevant with vote-by-mail.

Not to mention the constant haranguing about liberal namby-pamby leftist snowflake socialist. Yet, somehow we’re also powerful enough to steal the election? How does this work?

I heard there is a way to subvert that idea with third parties in major urban areas, all aligned to draw votes from the opposition. We saw this fraudulent practice in Florida this election with those two same-name fake third party candidates that took votes from the Democrats, allowing the Republican to win. Only, this time, nationally. So, the interstate compact could actually backfire and INCREASE the amount of noise and misinformation, trying to game the popular vote. All it could take is a big fake campaign in New York City, LA and Chicago to fuck everything up.
Not that I’m sticking up for the electoral college… I’m not. I hate it.

That’s fascism for you. Everybody opposing them has to be an unstoppable force of mewling crybabies. Unstoppable to justify the application of force, and crybabies to dupe the willing into thinking it’ll be an easy victory.

My husband has a theory that the Texas AG wants a presidential pardon covering whatever it is that he’s guilty of, and this is how he’s proving his worth. Trump’s SOP is quid pro quo, so the theory kind of tracks.

2016 was even more embarrassing. Democrats got 3 million fraudulent votes for Hillary in California (which she was expected to win anyway) but totally forgot to do voter fraud in any of the swing states that could have made a difference in the outcome.

Sorry Trump, you lost. Get over it.
He’s still your president.
I am going to get miles out of throwing every one of these back for the next 4 to 8 years

There will never again be a peaceful transition of power. The states that voted for the one guy will just sue the states that voted for the other guy, every goddamn time.

I mean if this suit prevails (which, of course, is about as likely as extraterrestrials intervening to hand the election to Trump).

That is 19th century nonsense, but it isn’t actually in the constitution. Inauguration day is set in the constitution but election day as well as several other deadlines are just set by congress.
It would be good to change, although universal mail-in voting is more important and makes “election day” less relevant.
