The problem is the once again the Judge set up an impossible standard. Lake has to prove they willfully ignored the law. In other words she has to prove what they were thinking
You are right. It’s an impossible standard and the judge knows this.
About the only thing we can hope for is that at least there’s a public record of how badly the election was run. If no steps are taken to correct the signature validation issues that plagued this election, then everyone will know that the current state government likes it this way (of course we all know that already).
That is why this and all efforts by Lake will lose.
Stick a fork in it; it’s done.
It’s time to accept that the capture is complete.
Consider that the judge's impossible standard is arguably obstruction of the "hair triggers" (imo) of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for a state where vote-counting fraud has occurred.
[...], is denied to any [...]
[...] or in any way abridged, [...]
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
In fact, the feds and media should be publicly reminding the states for every election to be careful not to do anything that would justify the feds having to audit an election to determine if Section 2 has been compromised imo.
What is really disturbing about the apportionment aspect of Section 2 is the following imo.
Consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted that section made it to discourage Southern Democrats (my words) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, 2022 and possibly earlier elections!
"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives
In other words, the political party corruption that we are now being oppressed with is arguably evidence of a cold war of the Civil War.
