... Biden appears very likely to win 306 Electoral College votes ... Recounts in even the closest states, where the candidates are 10,000 to 20,000 votes apart, are extremely unlikely to change the election results; the most recent Wisconsin recount, in 2016, shifted the result by 571 votes ...

... having different procedures for mail-in and in-person balloting does not create an equal-protection violation ...

... legislatures would have no legal basis for going against voters’ will ...

what he is trying is 3 criminal thefts of a legit election and vote.

If his so called Hail Mary passes work and he doesn't depart on Jan 20, our country has a deep, severe problem with unknow, but certainly very negative, consequences.

The game is over and the teams went home, he needs the officials to declare the game is not over, have the teams return to the stadium, dress, and then return to the field, and then he needs 3 Hail Mary passes.
