This is one of the worst complaints I’ve ever read. It actually has some good parts but is so disorganized and mixes the few compelling parts with typical electoral nonsense that happens every election that it actually undermines itself. This is clearly a cut and paste job from a lot of people’s writing and it doesn’t hang together. In many cases the language is inconsistent and statements don’t follow from what precedes it. They jump from the general election to the recount haphazardly and sometimes you don’t know which they are talking about.

The strong points in this complaint:

  • The Sec of State did not follow the law in key respects.
  • Large numbers of ballots counted without observers, including opening of ballots before permitted by law.
  • officials lied about the leak in state farm arena and poll workers stayed behind working after observers were cleared.

I can’t tell if the statistical analyses are helpful because the lawyers writing about them did such an utter crap job explaining them that the stat portion was total gobbledygook. I hope the affidavits from the experts themselves make sense because the portion of the complaint discussing the stats are garbage.

The description of the clean machine produced ballots was extraordinarily poor. They quoted one affiant on this without saying what county it was in. I recall there were multiple witness accounts of this, including Democrats, and they just cite a single one. Just awful.

This complaint could have been made 1000x more compelling by focusing on the above facts, including bolstering the machine printed ballots and the stats, and moving all the black helicopter stuff about Dominion (which had zero bearing on the main points) and the random witness accounts of how grandma’s ballot got put in the Biden pile in an appendix.

I fear they actually took a strong case and made it weaker by poor writing and organization.

Have an upvote. I’m a lawyer who wants Trump to win as much as anyone here. The truth is every case has been a long shot because they are asking the courts to invalidate votes. That is just an extreme form of relief that any judge will be reluctant to grant. If your case is a long shot to begin with, it certainly does not help to file sloppy typo-ridden pleadings that do not clearly state the causes of action and the supporting facts. Judges see right through pages of rhetoric not directly related to the law or facts. A five-page complaint clearly stating the claims and evidence is far better than 100 pages of bullshit.

It's a shame that so many people have become so hitched to Powell. You can't even question her or you get attacked, downvoted, and called a "doomer shill."

She really stole the spotlight away from the REAL and PROVABLE fraud which are the mail-in ballots that they had to shut down the count for and stuff for up to a week after the election.

That is what people should be focusing on. We don't need to prove a vast vote rigging conspiracy to win. We just need to get a 1-3% rejection rate for mail-in ballots like it was in past counties, and only in 5-6 counties, and we win.

I really want Trump to win, the country and our lives depend on it. But so many are emotionally dependent on Powell, that if you give any feedback on her approach, you get attacked and they won't even listen.

SIDNEY: As a civil action, the plaintiff’s burden of proof is a “preponderance of the evidence”
