New legal filing asks court to allow Trump campaign to count Pennsylvania's mail-in-ballots

[marmar]

President Donald J. Trump’s presidential campaign has issued a new legal filing asking the court to allow them to personally count the mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania.

“Due to confusion caused by the withdrawal of Plaintiffs’ lead counsel on Friday, Nov. 13, the Amended Complaint filed on Nov. 15 inadvertently withdrew numerous allegations contained in the original Complaint regarding the preclusion of observers at the canvassing of mail votes and the subsequent improper counting of mail votes in the seven Defendant County Boards of Election,” the court document states.

“Moreover, with the appearance of new counsel, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the Scaringi Firm, and new factual developments, the Campaign intends to file a second amended complaint to make clear that there was intentional misconduct by the Defendant Boards of Election, which deliberately excluded Republican/Trump observers from the canvassing in order to facilitate counting mail ballots which did not comport with the signature, date, and other requirements of Pennsylvania law,” the document continues. .............(more)

1. No.

Campaigns don't count votes. Go away Trump, you corrupt weenie.

[Enterstageleft]

2. And...

can we look into the fact that the Acme Explosive Co. is conspiring with the Road Runner to defeat Wile E Coyote?

[stillcool]

3. oh my god it's never going to end...

it's like it was leading up to election day. Scared we'd never get to election day, and scared about what would happen if we did.

[malaise]

4. Campaigns don't count votes in democracies

Fuck off!

[BlueIdaho]

5. Something tells me Rudy poisoned that well. nt.

[madaboutharry]

6. This has turned into a farce.

The court should start imposing fines.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Or recommending lawyers lose their accreditation...

[pandr32]

17. Yes to both of you

[Deuxcents]

12. That's It's goal

Delegitimization of our basic democracy. That’s what tyrants do. We won’t let him. I hope the courts fine them into oblivion for these tactics.

[Cha]

14. YES!

[Happy Hoosier]

7. Can't wait to see opposing counsels response.

This is farcical. Just ridiculous. The same judge that heard yesterday’s hearing will consider this request to amend the complaint. And defense counsel will respond by tomorrow noon. There is a decent chance this dies on the vine.

[triron]

8. Ya think. Judge should just tell them to fuck off (not in those words).

[dware]

10. Why not in those words?

I would love to see the look on Rudy's face if a Judge told him that.

But I also understand that the Judge would be facing an ethics violation and possible sanctions.

[Happy Hoosier]

15. He did not seem impressed by Rudy yesterday.

I suspect this will not go the way Rudy hopes!

[rsdsharp]

9. Time to lower the Rule 11 hammer.

Not only is this piece of fetid sludge worthy of sanction, I haven’t seen that they filed for leave to amend a second time even though the judge expressly “reminded” Rudy was required.

[empedocles]

13. Suspect some of these ludicrous arguments come at the behest of trump's foot

up the trump attorney's asses - ala trump 'immunity' argument before SCOTUS.

[Though ghouli, all by himself, is capable of claiming anything].

[meow2u3]

16. Why doesn't the judge declare Trump a vexatious litigant?

That's what the Orange Sore Loser is doing--filing one frivolous lawsuit after another as a delay tactic to prevent the election from being certified, as if he were entitled to be installed despite the fact he clearly lost.

18. WTF. NOOOOOO.
