2020 US General Election Thread XIII: Nocturne

[Necroghastia]

At least one Republican State Senator expresses fear of her own constituents.

64 Republicans in the General Assembly signed a letter last week urging Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation to reject the state’s Electoral College votes for Mr. Biden.

Kim Ward, the Republican majority leader of the Pennsylvania Senate, said the president had called her to declare there was fraud in the voting. But she said she had not been shown the letter to Congress, which was pulled together hastily, before its release.

Asked if she would have signed it, she indicated that the Republican base expected party leaders to back up Mr. Trump’s claims — or to face its wrath.

“If I would say to you, ‘I don’t want to do it,’” she said about signing the letter, “I’d get my house bombed tonight.”

That's fucked up.

I’m sure the answer is probably none but what are the chances of these shit suits achieving overturning the election? Gotta think in those terms these days.

Related question, is it possible to eject a state from the union?

no

I want Department of Labor and no questions asked.

as long as I get treasury, i'm happy

And we have 17 predictably stupid AGs at it, to make matters even more ridiculous.

I hope they all lose their next elections for such stupidity.

They won't.

Ah shoot, guess we're stuck with Texas.

[Trollzyn the Infinite]

no

Ah shoot, guess we're stuck with Texas.

Please. If any state deserves ejection it's Florida.

Sadly

I don't know, I mean, "Florida Man" stories wouldn't be the same if they aren't about our fellow citizens.

[Senkaku]

It's also the most practical to get rid of. You just fire up Project Plowshare again and slice them off from the mainland with a big ol' canal.

Shit. I’ll be ejected.

Yeah but Florida Man stories require people to live in Florida and no one deserves that.

Shit. I’ll be ejected.

So will I, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Shit. I’ll be ejected.

Sawing off the branch on which one sits.

You are a true patriot.

Or, rather, the fallic appendage of the US South

Too hardcore.

Trump has filed to intervene in the Texas case which, interestingly, undermines the Texas suit. The whole point of trying to bring the case directly before the SCOTUS is because, supposedly, no other court could rule on the questions. Trump has brought multiple legal challenges already, showing that he could litigate these issues in lower courts.

Regardless, Trump's brief to the Supreme Court makes clear that he's not alleging fraud.

(Edit: Somewhat weird that it's Trump filing this motion. It would clearly have been a more strategic move to have Pence file it.)

"I'm not saying it's fraud ... but it's fraud."

I hope they realize the precedent they;'d be setting here. if the court rules in their favor which they almost certainly wouldnt any state could sue another if they don't like the outcome of an election. That is a Pandora's Box you do not want to open.

*sings*
Way down upon the Suwannee River,
Far, far away,
There’s where my heart is turning ever,
There’s where the old folks stay.
All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam,
Still longing for my childhood station,
And for the old folks at home.

Chorus

All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam.
O dear ones, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home.

All ‘round the little farm I wander’d,
When I was young;
Then many happy days I squander’d,
Many the songs I sung.
When I was playing with my brother,
Happy was I.
Oh, take me to my kind old mother,
There let me live and die.

Chorus

One little hut among the bushes,
One that I love.
Still sadly to my memory rushes,
No matter where I rove.
When will I see the bees a humming,
All ‘round the comb?
When shall I hear the banjo strumming,
Down in my good old home.

SCOTUS is very careful on precedent. This is going out on its ass.
