The claims asserted by the plaintiffs do not hinge on evidence of voter fraud actually occurring,” they added.

The campaign argued that though it has no proof that fraud of this type has happened, it could — and that’s grounds enough for barring the boxes.

Shouldn’t all Trump/GOP lawsuits be called meritless, instantly dismissed and Trump gets the bill for wasting public resources?

Monkeys could fly out of the plaintiffs’ butts, so we are justified in prohibiting them from using the bathrooms in the courthouse.

Well, according to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the absence of any evidence at all just PROVES that it’s happening. It’s the old “Q” ploy!

So paranoia is now a legal basis for depriving people of their rights. I realize that this the premise for all of the stand your ground laws in the country, not to mention the justification for countless examples of the killing of black citizens by law officers, but talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

That includes Devin Nunes confessing to ballot harvesting.

Their objective is to ban drop boxes on the basis of something that potentially “could” happen, though hasn’t, while inconveniencing and potentially preventing thousands of eligible citizens the right to vote - the actual reason for this lawsuit. I’m thankful the judge didn’t fall for it.

What they are doing in filing this absurd and indefensible lawsuit is an attack on democracy. Which they know is the only way they can win.

Under that logic we should ban in-person precinct voting as well.
We should just cancel elections and make Trump dictator for life.

The campaign then loaded the 524-page document with articles about a handful of cases of voter fraud unrelated to mail-in voting or drop boxes.

Desperate? Probably. But then, as-yet-undiscovered tribes in the Amazon could have predicted the Trump campaign’s scattershot pablum.

“The embarrassment is par for the course for the Trump campaign, which, led by President Donald Trump…”

Is this what they mean by “burying the lede” ?

Or an “evergreen tweet” ?
