Assume the game was played anyway, with illegal rules. One team won. One team lost. Is the game legit just because it was played? I think the remedy would be to set the official score to zero to zero. The head ref ruined it for all.
There is a dispute about the legalities here.

Walk-in voters in Pennsylvania are allowed to cure their ballots on the spot, no one disputes that. The question is, in the interest of fairness, shouldn't mail-in voters be offered the same opportunity?

SoS Bookvar may or may not have exceeded her authority by allowing counties to give mail-in voters the same opportunity. I'm sure the PA legislature, and many other legislatures, will be taking up these issues in their next sessions, to make sure that their electoral laws are doing what they want them to do.

Apparently, statewide, there were only a couple thousand mail-in ballots that were affected. So, to paraphrase Judge Brann, should tens of thousands of PA voters be disenfranchised because of the mistaken, but good-faith, actions of a couple thousand voters?

When are they going to start investigating and re-counting the states that Trump supposedly won?

I honestly think some people admire him and Trump because of how badly they’ve treated people.
Perverse, but here we are.
Rudy and Trump? Birds of a feather flock together.

Good and fair question. A comparison of sorts to say. Okay so system in state R was completely devoid of these anomalies. So let's see how askew they are in these disputed states. Dime to dollar says each state did a spectacular job in tabulating /verifying and securing the votes proper.

A judge should hold the states to the litmus test ....although I think it's a red herring scenario and a waste of time. It would place some states that voted Trump to cough up their staff and resources to defend a false allegation. Then maybe these republicans who do so detest paying out money feel the pain of false allegations.

Hmmmm...seems Philly got a win today! All those votes that we held to the side til pa supreme could make a decision. Finally did. 9 k in votes my now be counted for certification. That brings trump down to 1 court win in pa.

The bizarre (and I do stress bizarre occurance ) is three counties that were clearly trump wins have not certified. Something is brewing there...do they really think stalling is the key to keeping the entire state from certifying ??? Let trump have his little morsel of votes from those counties. PA needs to step it up on getting certified.

If there is a question about any votes, they can't be certified until the problem has been solved.
Obviously the Trump legal team is going to fight certification when votes are being contested.
As I have said many, many times, this will drag on until January 20th.
The EC will not be able to cast their votes because so many votes are being contested in numerous states.

Trump will keep appealing any court decisions, and come January 20th the house will elect Trump, and he is aware of this fact, which is why he did not concede, and why he will tie this issue up in the courts till January 20th.

He knows when it goes to the house, each state get's one vote for president.
Most states are republican controlled, so they would be voting for Trump.

Would be nice if Trump won in court, but he is not counting on it.
He is counting on numerous appeals to court decisions, which could bring it into late January, just in time for the election to be thrown out, and win by the republican states voting for him.

I see this quite clearly, don't understand why no one else does.

It’s a fantasy so I chose to ignore it. No way. No how. Not happening.

The states are certifying. The Electoral College will vote. ****ty cases that keep getting thrown out of court are not going to hold this up.

It is all so clear to me now.
