One does not have to be a rocket scientist to figure out the simple strategy here. Toss in the 2020 Census coming up, and the number of states which will be virtually guaranteed to stay Republican-dominated...this gimmick would seem to be an awful stupid strategy for the Democratic Party.

Unless the strategy is to further Obama's fundamental transformation of the country by seriously damaging another institution in the same manner as has been done with the police, the military, and gender.

Can’t wait until President Trump investigates the elections in California, New York, and Illinois.

On another thread, a legal expert said this case was a non-starter, that yesterday the State Board of Elections had been given 10 business days to file a response and they can (and most likely will) just run out the clock and the electoral votes will have already been cast before they even respond to the lawsuit, at which point their response will be, “The point is moot, the electoral college has already voted.”

It's called...

"PROJECTION".

[Trump-a-licious]

I am raising money to do a recount on the 2008 election to prevent Obama from ever becoming president...

[Grampa Dave]

Since they lost with Clintoon, they will be doing this bs for the next 8 years.

10 business days from today is Dec 19th.

What are the rules in other states; I think time has run out on challenges, correct?

(Need link to that thread where you saw the “10 business days”)

I got my information from this story:

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/12/05/florida-voters-sue-recount/95021946/

About half way down the story is this quote:

But even lawyers for the plantiffs acknowledge time isn't on their side. Clint Curtis, an Orlando attorney representing the plantiffs, said the defendants may not respond by the time the Electoral College meets on December 19th.
"They can ignore it entirely," He said.

As specifically for the "10 business days" someone had asked for clarification in the comments on why the State didn't have to respond by December 19th, and several responses said that Florida law states they have 10 business days to file a response.

Thank you very much for this info!

Have it ready for posting on the Florida recount threads.

Yes, Florida can run out the clock.

You see, originally HILLARY CLINTON most likely EXPECTED
there to be enough MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD in her favor that
she could tie up the results and NEVER have to concede.
That way, it could have been a redux of the GORE insanity
enough so that HILLARY would eventually be declared the
“winner by default” - also enough more “votes” could have
been “discovered” in the trunks of cars, ALL for Hillary,
of course to “pad” her “win”.
