17 States Join Texas Election Suit Amid Trump Pledge to Intervene in Case

Electoral disputes and the Compromise of 1877
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1876_...Electoral_disputes_and_the_Compromise_of_1877
In Florida (with 4 electoral votes), Louisiana (with 8) and South Carolina (with 7), reported returns favored Tilden, but the elections in each state were marked by electoral fraud and threats of violence against Republican voters; the most extreme case was in South Carolina, where an impossible 101 percent of all eligible voters in the state had their votes counted.[16] One of the points of contention revolved around the design of ballots: at the time, parties would print ballots or "tickets" to enable voters to support them in the open ballots. To aid illiterate voters the parties would print symbols on the tickets, and in this election, many Democratic ballots were printed with the Republican symbol, Abraham Lincoln, on them.[17] The Republican-dominated state electoral commissions subsequently rejected enough Democratic votes to award their electoral votes to Hayes.

Good to know, but isn't that different from the legislature sending electors to the convention to have them vote contrary to the popular vote in their state?

Okay, so IF there is no evidence of fraud then why are there 17 states joining this suit?

Trump Voters Don't Really Believe Biden Stole The Election

Yes, but I'm merely pointing out that there have been electoral disputes before that were rectified after election day. In that way, it's similar and it's reasonable to accept that Trump would want to exhaust all avenues. There is another tidbit in there I hope people catch and it's this-------(...the elections in each state were marked by electoral fraud and threats of violence against Republican voters)

Little to no safeguards in many states to ensure
a. that only citizens vote.. and they only vote once.
b. that the citizens are the ones casting the ballot
c. that they are being counted properly and fairly.
d. that computers are not flipping the votes
e. that a full set of impartial observers have useful remedies when irregularities are documented.

There are myraid other problems that a future campaign will not be able to solve... if the Supreme Court does not use this case to secure our democracy and our votes.

Trump winning or losing is of secondary importance.

Frankly I think the court must hear this case and make a ruling which forces states to make sure our votes are counted once... fully and properly.

Probably that somebody has a conscience and wants to see something done about all this vote fraud malarkey. If the vote isn't honest, there is no reason to have a vote at all.

If the legislature selects the elector... and he casts his vote for Trump at the convention... he'll probably be in deep doo-doo.

Do you believe the republican governors who said their states' elections were free and fair are lying, then? In on the Great Gonspiracy?

What do you make of a state that certified for Biden, where GOP controls the legislature, joining the suit?

The "state" joining the suit is the elected republican AG

So what we should have is, on a state by state basis, some kind of certification.

I support that.

clowning while Rome burns...
anything to support the party line.
and don't give me some pro Trump shit...
I already said that its not my concern about this.
My concern is the future integrity of our vote in the US.

So what we should have is, on a state by state basis, some kind of certification.

I support that.

Don't even. You walk right into these things.

These are baseless allegations. There are safeguards and secondary measures to ensure election security. The failure or fraud rate is 0.00006%. You’re more likely to get struck by lightning.
