Janice Park's lawsuit will be heard Thursday in federal court in Anchorage. It claims that since Clinton is winning the overall nationwide popular vote, her vote for Clinton will not be counted as a full vote since Trump will likely win the electoral college process.

With the Alaska Law Department in receipt of it, my guess is it won’t go anywhere. I doubt the AG is going to respond.

How did President Gore miss making this brilliant argument in 2000? He must not have had enough lawyers. ;-)

HUH. What is it with the left ? no seriously these people have s many nuts on their side. Growing up did they always get their own way, was their parents not doing their job, or are they just born nuts?

So why is her case being heard at all? It appears to be totally without merit.

Maybe to smack it down so hard others will not bring such stupidity nationwide?

We are definitely hearing the kookoo birds. I will bet that she is doing the lawsuit ‘pro se’ (no lawyer) as I don’t think you’d want a judge remembering you for this one!

This is why the Founding Fathers created the Electoral College—they rightfully feared the cities would too much dominate national politics in what amounts to demagoguery.

How does she have standing? How does she have an individualized injury separate from the general political question regarding the existence of the electoral college. What relief can a court grant her to redress her injury.

Janice, you voted, right? Your vote was counted. You lost. Now you have no standing.

Preliminary hearing results in a frivolous suit. $1000 penalty to the plaintiff.
