Supreme Court Does Not Take Up Pennsylvania Absentee Ballot Case
Republicans have asked the high court to block all absentee ballots that arrived in Pennsylvania after Election Day. The Supreme Court on Monday took no action on the case.

.......................

Trumpy is gonna blow a gasket.

[Grins]

1. But...but...but they marched to the court on Saturday.

It was all over the news. You mean it was all for nothing?

[underpants]

5. Trump drive by and waved, sort of

and then he went and played golf.

[grumpyduck]

2. I hope he blows two gaskets.

At least.

[MyOwnPeace]

12. Well, he BLOWS..............

and I don't care about the gaskets!

[Grins]

3. This is not going to look good on Rudy's resume...

11. Giuliani Arrives in Ukraine to Look for More Votes

Borowitz 😀


Speaking to reporters at the Kyiv airport, a highly animated Giuliani said that he expected to return to the United States with “bags full of votes” for Trump.

“Joe Biden is leading Trump by about sixty thousand votes in Pennsylvania,” the former mayor of New York said. “The population of Ukraine is forty-three million! You think I can’t find sixty thousand votes in this country? Get out of here! Get out of here!”

Giuliani added that he was confident that his quest for votes would be a success because “every time I go to Ukraine, I come away smellin’ like a rose!”

50. Another gem from good ol' Andy.

I don't see enough of his work. Thanks!

[central scrutinizer]

52. What's Borowitz going to do after Jan. 20?

He’ll have to write his own material. Probably consternation at The Onion, as well.

4. they won't even notice, they're all distracted by finding 2k votes in a red county in GA

that weren't counted as they were lost in the shuffle from a machine breaking down and getting swapped out.

That isolated incident will have them crowing for days and ignoring the bigger picture.

[sunonmars]

6. Biden's lead in Georgia has gone up 33 in the recount to 14,205.

[Thekaspervote]

9. Oh too too perfect!!

[helpisontheway]

21. Oh that is why he was tweeting about the recount being unfair..

He was whining about signatures.

[not_the_one]

49. The republicans are trying to toss out legitimate signatures, from initial voter registrations,

possibly from 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago. And of course they target democrats.

How has THEIR signature changed?

Maybe we should have a campaign for all democrats to update our signatures. We have two years to get it done. Hell, update EVERYTHING. Make sure there is nothing they can use to challenge our vote.

[underpants]

8. I hadn't heard about this yet.

Interesting

[Amishman]

14. not sure its made the national news circuit yet

the article I have is a local one to GA
https://www.northwestgeorgianews.com/rome/news/local/presidential-race-hand-count-completed-in-floyd-county-just-over-2-500-additional-early-votes/article_c1365ce2-2818-11eb-8656-6b7f49a93a04.html

15. Thanks. Net 778 for Trump.

According to Floyd County GOP Chairman Luke Martin and tentatively confirmed by Rees, there were an additional 1,643 votes for Republican President Donald Trump, 865 for Democrat President-elect Joe Biden and 16 for Libertarian Jo Jorgensen.

[maxsolomon]

10. Dems will have zero objection to counting those votes.

Count every vote, even if you lose.

[sunonmars]

16. or just suddenly appeared out of nowhere........

[Chainfire]

18. The right will be screaming that they finally have concrete evidence that

Trump votes were intentionally undercounted and demand recounts in every state he lost.

Over on the Conservative forum they are saying that the Congress will now be paying Democrats back for all of the obstruction they have been involved with over the past four years.....Don't ask me.....Sometimes I think that this is all a bad dream. I am going to have to lay off the Chocolate Mousse in the evenings......

[sunonmars]

19. You don't just find 2K votes, what came in would not have matched the totals posted. Sounds suss.

[Chainfire]

20. As it is said, in the Holy Bible,

There will be lawsuits, and rumors of lawsuits..... (or something like that)

[orangecrush]

27. This

[LiberalArkie]

35. Not really out of nowhere. The amount of total votes tallied by the tabulator was less than the

number of ballots put into it.

[robbob]

48. Important note: they didn't find 2,000 votes for tRump...

...they found 2,000 votes TOTAL. I think they broke 60/40 in the dumpsters favour, which gave him a net gain of a couple hundred votes. Nowhere near enough to change the results.

[Thekaspervote]

7. This really is the end! But when ya got a crack legal team headed by rudy..never know

[T Ruth Phairy]

13. great news

Thank you Roberts court, for that shrewd bit of obfuscation.

[Eyeball_Kid]

34. This was bound to happen.

USSC was not going to demean itself by acquiescing to Trumpy-Boy’s nonsense. All of Trumpy’s work to get his lackeys on the Court to rule in his favor meant nothing. THIS is his biggest fail. Now he’s up the creek without a paddle.

[spooky3]

17. He's going to march up there and drag Barrett out by her hair!

"This is what I get in return for appointing you to the USSC?!!!"

[Kaleva]

22. The Underwear Gnome legal team Trump hired isn't doing well.

[Hassler]

23. Roberts wants him gone. He has a 6-3 majority, they don't need Chump.

[Auggie]

24. "Once they get what they want (from Trump) they'll get rid of him."

-- Adam Schiff quote (not verbatim, but words to that effect)

[Alhena]

25. The article just says they didn't take it up today, not that they said they won't

[StarfishSaver]

26. I don't think this is accurate

According to this article, the Court didn't decline to take the case ... It just didn't act on it today. But there was no requirement that they do anything today and they could still take the case.

[onenote]

29. Correct. People should read the article before commenting

Lots of the comments here apparently were posted by folks who didn’t bother to read the article.

[dware]

31. My sense is that, and maybe I'm wrong,

but I'm thinking that the SC is waiting for PA to certify their vote and then when it's obvious to even the stupidist Trumper, they are going to decline to rule on it.

Is this a possibility?

[oldsoftie]

40. This kind of headline is why the RW says what they do about the media.

What a terrible job of half-assed reporting.
I guess since they made NO decisions today, ANY case could have been put up there.

[BainsBane]

28. na na na na, goodbye

[BobTheSubgenius]

51. That song has a funny back story.

[treehuggnlibrul]

30. And yet... Emily Murphy doesn't do her job.

When will she sign the damn letter of ascertainment? And what happens if she continues to be negligent in her duties?

[Crunchy Frog]

32. But, HE WON THE ELECTION! According to last night's tweet.

[Midnight Writer]

33. What's the point of being able to appoint Judges if they won't do what you want?

Transactional Don, whose favorite word is reciprocate, will never get over this.

[33taw]

36. They did not take up the case today, but that does not mean it will not be heard in the future.

[warmfeet]

37. If by "blow a gasket" you mean

he will die a horrible, agonizing, humiliating death, I completely hope for this outcome.

Here's to hope.

[Cryptoad]

38. Rudy,,,,,,,, wDF!

when u hire only the best,,,,,,,,,

[George II]

39. Another loss in the court for trump. I believe that makes it 1 for 22. The "1" was a minor win.

[StarfishSaver]

44. Not a loss and not a win

The Court just didn't take it up today. They could still take the case.

This is a nom-story.

[Cha]

41. Rt.. & So Is his Stupid Cult!

[patricia92243]

42. Who makes the decision if the Supreme Court will take a case or not take it.

[StarfishSaver]

45. Four justices have to agree to grab certiorari

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

43. I hope he blows them all.

His, I mean. Not the world!

[ancianita]

46. I could be wrong, but by my count he's 1 for 19 with two more left.

[BadGimp]

47. This was predicterd by many after MCB was elevated to SCOTUS.
