I’m not familiar with this 2010 case. If the fraud was large enough to turn the election then why wouldn’t they just invalidate the vote? Or was it the case that the fraud was smaller than the margin?
Problem was that the decision came 6 months after election. The fraudulently elected Senator was already in office and everyone just decided to let it slide.
problem is that the case we have mostly been hearing about that was taken to SCC in PA - that was initiated pre-election and SCC couldn't rule on it due to split 4-4.
But most of the fraud evidence that showed up since - those would have to be new cases. A new case cannot just head straight to SCC, it has to jump through state level courts first.
And for example, PA courts have been very unfair to Trump campaign so far. All they need it to put the breaks on the courts they seem to be in control of.
I don't know how other states, but PA seems to have activist judges and I think they will be able to hold PA for dems by simply running out the clock.

no, it definitely pushed it over the margin.

Oh I see. Thank you.
In can’t imagine this one lasting that long. Every eye is on it.
