Trump Campaign Files New Election-related Lawsuit In Arizona by 9jahotblog: 12:32pm On Nov 08, 2020
President Trump's reelection campaign said on Saturday that it has filed a lawsuit in Arizona alleging that in-person ballots were improperly rejected in Maricopa County. 

The suit was filed hours after former Vice President Joe Biden was projected to win the 2020 election after clinching Pennsylvania, securing the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency. 

Trump did not concede defeat to Biden, and promised to begin court fights "to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."

The campaign has mounted legal challenges in several battlegrounds including Arizona, where Biden currently holds a narrow lead over the president.  

The newest Arizona suit from the president's campaign alleges that poll workers did not notify in-person voters when the electronic ballot tabulation machines detect an "overvote," which occurs when voters select more than the number of candidates allowed in a given race. 

Instead of giving voters the opportunity to correct the error, the campaign alleges that poll workers in Maricopa County told voters to press a green button to override the error, resulting in the machine disregarding the voter's choice.

It further claimed that it has declarations from voters who witnessed this, and say that the problem occurred on a large scale in the county. 

"Poll workers struggled to operate the new voting machines in Maricopa County, and improperly pressed and told voters to press a green button to override significant errors," said Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 campaign general counsel. "The result is that the voting machines disregarded votes cast by voters in person on Election Day in Maricopa County."

The campaign is asking for a manual inspection of the affected ballots. 

Maricopa County is the most populous in Arizona, and often, the candidate who wins the county wins the state's 11 electoral votes. 

The suit names Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes (D), and members of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. 

A spokesperson for Hobb's office told The Hill that it was looking at the campaign's suit, but it is "seemingly a repackaged 'sharpiegate' lawsuit. Hopefully, this puts the matter to rest for good."

Earlier on Saturday, Republicans dropped a suit around "sharpiegate," which alleged that Sharpies were given to voters and that the ink bled through and damaged the ballots. The Trump campaign, the Arizona Democratic Party and the Republican National Committee were all involved in that case.

Muslims don't like Trump because he's a core Christain.

At the end of the day, Trump don't give a flying fvck about y'all. He does his thing the way he wants unapologetically without minding the backlash, which is so wrong as a leader.

Well, congratulations to whoever emerges the next President of US.

County and municipal clerks and poll workers across Wisconsin may have unlawfully altered witness statements on thousands of mail-in ballots across the state, "The Dan O'Donnell Show" has learned.

Wisconsin Statute 6.86 provides that an absentee ballot must be signed by a witness, who is also required to list his or her address. If a witness address is not listed, then the ballot is considered invalid and must be returned to the voter to have the witness correct.

Ad

Instead, multiple sources tell "The Dan O'Donnell Show," municipal clerks and vote counters across the state simply filled out witness signatures themselves. Acting on false and unlawful advice from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), these clerks may have inadvertently invalidated thousands of absentee votes.

"The statute is very, very clear," said retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who worked as a poll watcher in Milwaukee on Election Day. "If an absentee ballot does not have a witness address on it, it's not valid. That ballot is not valid."

The WEC sent uniform instructions to voters with their mail-in ballots that informed them that "your witness must sign and provide their full address (street number, street name, city) in the Certification of Witness section" and warned that "if any of the required information above is missing, your ballot will not be counted."

However, on October 19th, the WEC sent instructions to clerks that they can simply fill in the witness address themselves so that the ballot would not be invalidated.

"Please note that the clerk should attempt to resolve any missing witness address information prior to Election Day if possible, and this can be done through reliable information (personal knowledge, voter registration information, through a phone call with the voter or witness)," WEC wrote. "The witness does not need to appear to add a missing address."

"In defiance of and direct contradiction to the statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance--that is, cover--to all 72 county clerks and turned the statute on his head," Gableman said. "They said, 'Gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but county clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness' address if there's no address on the absentee ballot."

Anticipating a legal challenge to this seemingly highly unlawful advice, the WEC instructed clerks to write in these witness addresses in red pen so that they would be easy to find during a recount or audit of the vote.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin estimates that thousands of witness addresses may have been changed, thus invalidating the ballots on which they appeared. The statutory remedy for this is to subtract a commensurate number of votes for the candidates for whom those ballots were cast, meaning that vote totals may substantially change.

President Trump's campaign is investigating the scale to which clerks and election workers were altering ballots as well as several other incidents that it has termed "irregularities." President Trump has also publicly called for a recount of Wisconsin's vote.

Former Vice President Joe Biden won the state by roughly 20,000 votes, a margin of less than one percent.
