OUCH! Trump Legal Teams Supposed Evidence of Fraud is From the WRONG STATE
By Charlie Nash Nov 20th, 2020, 11:12 am
President Donald Trumps lawyers have seemingly confused Michigan with Minnesota in an affidavit attempting to prove 2020 election fraud.
In their effort to demonstrate voter irregularities in the state of Michigan which Trump was projected to have lost to Joe Biden Trumps lawyers appeared to mistake Michigans abbreviation MI for Minnesota.

On his Power Line blog, Thursday, John Hinderaker pointed out the major error.

Heres the problem: the townships and precincts listed in paragraphs 11 and 17 of the affidavit are not in Michigan. They are in Minnesota, Hinderaker declared. Monticello, Albertville, Lake Lillian, Houston, Brownsville, Runeberg, Wolf Lake, Height of Land, Detroit Lakes, Frazee, Kandiyohithese are all towns in Minnesota.

(3,407 posts)Why would the legal community want to have someone like Rudy in their lists as an active lawyer? He is a disgrace making the legal profession look horrible, not that it needs any help from Rudy, but Rudy is out there where no lawyer has gone before.

Powerline is probably right about the error, but Mediaite would be a better source to have here.
Not a source that falsely says:
"There is circumstantial evidence of more than a normal amount of voter fraud in this years election, but Trumps lawyers have not yet presented most of the evidence" and -- about the Republican lawyers pushing these claims: "I hope their claims turn out to be well-founded and provable."

You will never see me use the odious Rawstory as a "source."

(109,021 posts)Like its false claim that there has been more than the usual amount of fraud in this election.
And you help condition some readers into trusting it as a source. Just because they were right in this particular case doesn't mean they're a source people should rely on.

Giulianis Rant About Suspicious Voting Was Based On A Massive Error
A Trump campaign lawsuit mastermind mixed numbers from Michigan and Minnesota to come up with fake overvote percentages.

Rudy Giulianis epic rant in his latest wild news conference about suspicious voting in Michigan was based on a glaring mistake: President Donald Trumps personal lawyer was complaining about vote counts in Minnesota districts, not in Michigan.
That obliterated Giulianis claims Thursday of discrepancies in district populations and suspiciously large voter turnouts. The figures mangled overvote percentages by comparing the number of expected district votes in one state to the populations of completely unrelated districts in another state.
In Michigan and Wisconsin, we have overvotes in numerous precincts of 150%, 200% and 300%, Giuliani gloated in one of his imagined gotcha moments.
The man in charge of Trumps assault on election results also argued that there were more votes than voters in some districts again, because he confused the states.
The erroneous numbers used by Giuliani and others on the legal team challenging presidential election results were based on an affidavit submitted and already thrown out by one court by self-proclaimed election fraud expert and failed Texas congressional candidate, Russ Ramsland, the Powerline blog first reported Thursday.
