Giuliani referenced this in the PA hearing. Perhaps you are inept. Trump had no legal standing to approach SCOTUS on his own.

I’m laughing because Giuliani complete f*cked it up at the hearing. He mixed up the Democratic primary figures with the general election numbers and confused the crap out of everybody. Giuliani should not have been making any presentations. He hasn’t seen the inside of a courtroom for 40 years and looked it.

I don't think it's a matter of Trump's legal team not being able to put together a decent complaint. I think it's got to do with legal "standing", forcing them to file in lower courts first, many with liberal judges who dismissed their cases for BS reasons. Since Texas is suing other states, citing violations of the US Constitution, it has to go directly to the Supreme Court.

No man. Their complaints have been shite.

In PA they ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE KEY CLAIM IN THE COMPLAINT when they amended it and screwed themselves over.

Better it appear to come from the people then the campaign, so it will seem less political.

Also, states have original jurisdiction, where as an individual does not.

Having a state action is very helpful, I agree. But Trump has been so badly represented it is really absurd.

Trumps team did include the PA absentee numbers. Sounds like you fail at this

I do remember Giuliani confusing the number of mail ballot sent in the Democratic primary with the General Election at the meeting with PA legislators and confusing everybody.

I don't thinks it's that they were inept. More like they were overwhelmed. It's really 8 States that they had to do a tremendous amount of work in and they weren't prepared for that much legal action. Then they had a bunch of attorneys they were planning on using quite because they were being harassed.

I would guess that the Trump team has been working with Texas the entire time. It seems like Jordan and Jim Sekulow have a lot to do with this Texas suit.

What excuse does Trump and the GOP have to be overwhelmed? They should have been preparing for this for 4 effin’ years.

Yes, and that wasn’t expected? From the moment he came into office there should have been a person assigned to each swing state to figure out how to defend the President there at his reelection. We knew the Dems would do everything they could to get rid of him.
