Pennsylvania Election Boards Torch Trump and Giuliani's Appeal | Law & Crime

Legal experts already said on Monday that the manner in which the Trump campaign went about appealing a resounding Pennsylvania loss to the Third Circuit is not even designed to reach SCOTUS. Worse yet, Pennsylvania's election boards and Secretary Kathy Boockvar (D), the defendant-appellees...

Trump fears Giuliani, other lawyers in Biden vote challenge are ‘fools that are making him look bad’

Gee, I wonder who put them in an impossible situation. And then he blames them. Nothing is ever his fault.

It's too late. The Orange Doof caved in and authorized the transition. Like a huge, foul-smelling, orange carp hooked and wriggling on the deck of the fishing boat, he slapped his obese, bloated tail one last time, horked up a gob of Stormy's pubic hair that had lodged behind one of his rotting molars for almost a decade and finally..... thankfully.... mercifully died.

Couldn't be him, he only hires the best people.
It must be Hillary's fault.

Here's an election thought experiment. I say this up front so Frank can just skip over this post.

Imagine an election process as follows. There are two candidates running. You go into a booth and mark your ballot. You then take your ballot to an election official who tosses a coin - heads, your vote is recorded as marked, tails - it is flipped to the other candidate. Note that this process involves no fraud, and is not weighted to favour either candidate.

Question - as a voter, are you satisfied with this process? Do you consider it to be reliable way of executing a democratic election?

Question - as a candidate, are you satisfied? The law of probability dictates that if this process is carried out enough times, eventually half of the coin flips will be heads and half tails, thereby nullifying the effect of the process on the result of the election. How small, in percentage, would the margin of victory have to be for you to lose confidence that the effect of the coin flip was nullified? 1%? .5% Smaller?

If that's as much thought as you are prepared to give it, that explains why you are misinterpreting some of the issues being raised in these election suits. Of course, it doesn't help that some of the decisions being rendered similarly misrepresent these same issues relating to election reliability (not the same as fraud).
