I’m keen on court action. I had winnings of £50,000 on Betfair Exchange.
They settled it when it was still very much contested. Their own rules said they would wait until it was clear beyond doubt.
I’ve raised a ticket with the traders to discuss this - they’re saying no new events will change the settlement. But this isn’t new - it happened before it settled
Because they have standing, that is why... give me an example and I’ll explain it to you.
I’ll share a counter example - could you prosecute someone for drunk driving for simply buying a bottle of vodka? Or for drinking that vodka?
No. They would have to actually have got into the car and driven it, for there to be any standing.
Same here - until EC appoints Democrat electors, there is no injury. Therefore no standing
Edit: Texas case is all about how texas was injured by the fraud etc. No injury has actually occurred yet. That’s why there is no standing as of today.
It’s quite simple - Texas hasn’t suffered ANY injury. Texas literally, as of right now, has no standing to bring a case.
What is the ‘injury’?
It is any of these 4 states appointing their EC electors, such that the outcome of the election changes from R to D.
This has NOT YET HAPPENED therefore, no standing!
SCOTUS cannot tell legislatures how to appoint EC - they have no authority to do so, as far as I am aware.
So even if they heard the case, what can the SCOTUS do?
Once the EC electors have be been appointed, and if that gives JB his 270, then Texas have standing.
There is still the question of what the SCOTUS can do... I’m not sure why they’re even bothering with the courts, who I do believe have no authority over the legislatures to appoint the EC electors
This might just be a coincidence however - didn’t the recent big wheel analysis guy say that the ratio changes amongst precincts?
It could well be that this precinct only needed a top up of 37 to flip the result.
The 26% tweet is mathematically incorrect in my opinion. It is saying that of 200 ballots scanned through, it read 113 B 87 Trump. That’s not a 26% flip exactly - it gives B 56.5% and Trump 43.5% - a 13% lead on that batch only.
The two are not related
