I know there have been several posts in here criticizing how the lawyers are saying “overturn” the election. I agree - it’s a bad phrase. No judge wants to draw the ire of the left for “overturning” the election. In the coming days the legal strategy is not the only one that matters. Like it or not, court of public opinion is going to become a factor in this. The legal teams and pundits on our side need a new way of explaining this. I personally think the word “restore” is better a better choice than overturn.
They could say something like, “We are asking judges to do the right thing and restore integrity and lawfulness to a broken election so the valid winner, based on votes legally cast by registered voters, is sworn in in January 20th.”
Maybe there’s a better way than how I’m saying it. But we need to get the word up the chain to STOP USING OVERTURN!
STOP THE STEAL
I think stop the steal gets people’s attention. But when you’re asking for a remedy what does it mean? It leads you to overturn the election and it conjures a dirty third world country image in my mind. That’s why the remedy has to be asked in a positive way. Like it or not - judges are people too. They all have their own internal biases. The words we use can help or hurt.
