    I really love all of you in the press and everyone who has my email address, but I cannot spend all day, every day explaining why Trump does not have a realistic path to overturn the election. Here's my latest thinking. Please come in off the ledge.

    Just a note for followers, Matthew is a real expert on the Third Circuit, where the Trump appeal will go. Add him to your feed if you want the details.

    If Trump ever does appeal yesterday's beatdown, that appeal goes to the Third Circuit. No guarantees, but I predict it's decided by the same panel that decided Bognet on 11/13: Chief Judge Smith, Judge Shwartz, and Judge Scirica.

    There is no chance SCOTUS will review the suit dismissed by Judge Brann seeking to block Pennsylvania’s certification. The lawyers representing the President are either delusional or intentionally misleading him and his supporters.

    I think the obviously right move for Biden, both politically and substantively, is to involve himself not at all in Trump's legal concerns. Don't push the DOJ to do or not do anything, and don't issue any pardons.

    The publicly-stated position of President Trump's legal team is that the reason Trump lost Georgia is because Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has been bribed by a Venezuelan front company in cahoots with the CIA to throw elections to Communists.

    Insane

    Sidney Powell is going to confront the Devil in GA this week. So are many others. Some who have been quiet are about to speak out. The Devil has no idea what he is about to face in GA. We The People are going to confront the Devil too.

    So now our attention turns back to Michigan and certification. Be vigilant but don’t be panicked. Breathe.

    I'd just like to say, in light of today's statements, that I called on Friday that mealymouthed statement from the two GOP Michigan legislative leaders that everyone was praising still left the door wide open for coup participation.

    Replying to @brianbeutler
    I read wiggle room in this and will only be satisfied once the votes are certified--Scratch that, once the electoral college meets and votes--Scratch that, once Congress counts the electoral votes--Scratch that, on Inauguration Day.

    (He’s not wrong. Also, as someone who studied election law in law school and has overseen dozens of election cases/disputes, this legal team is…um…not great. I mean the failure to be prepared for a level-of-scrutiny question made every 1st yr law student either cringe or lol.)

    Moving our gaze from PA courtrooms— this thread on challenges of *basically all* ballots from counties with cities in them or *all absentees* also seems like is worth attention.

    Neil Albrecht says that a Trump campaign observer was moving from table to table at the Milwaukee County recount objecting to all City of Milwaukee ballots that were cast. Elections officials are asking for answers from Trump campaign attorneys.

    “or decides to take the full time allowed by law to perform their duties” Sure sounds like this MI Republican legislator is trying to exert some indirect pressure.

    As I've repeatedly said, our election process MUST be free of intimidation and threats. Whether the Board of Canvassers certifies our results tomorrow or decides to take the full time allowed by law to perform their duties, it's inappropriate for anyone to exert pressure on them.

    There are three Trump-appointed U.S. Attorneys in Pennsylvania. All three said they’d be on the lookout for fraud. The U.S. Attorney in Philly has been particularly partisan. So what have they said about this supposedly massive criminal conspiracy to steal the election? Nothing.

    There hasn’t been a single Trump lawsuit in which a Trump lawyer successfully proved a fraud allegation in court. And time has run out.

    . is making the same false claim as Dems. Just because one lawyer said we were not alleging fraud in one instance does not mean that statement applies to ALL lawsuits. That’s totally ridiculous. Please actually read each complaint.

    Most Republicans running in 2022 and 2024 will have been supportive of a very public scheme to steal an election by throwing out the votes of millions of Americans.

    Last point for now: this is a victory anyone who believes in voting rights should savor. But let's not forget the many lawyers and others who have advanced arguments to literally try to thwart voters' will and steal the election. Shame on them.

    The federal judge in Pennsylvania lost his patience today with Trump’s idiotic suit, in language you rarely see. calls it “the worst piece of election litigation I have ever seen”

    Looking a little deeper at the Trump voters who are driving this divide — 81% say *their* elections went well in their communities, but only 21% say the election generally went well — 85% of Trump voters say the campaign should continue its legal challenges:

    Chart showing voters’ answers to whether the Trump campaign should or should not continue legal challenges to the voting process in several states. Of voters overall, 43% say the campaign should continue and 57% say it should not. Of Biden voters, only 4% say the challenges should continue. Of Trump voters, 85% say the legal challenges should continue. That's further broken down: 94% of strong Trump supporters say the campaign should continue its legal challenges, and 71% of moderate or lean-Trump voters say the campaign should continue its legal challenges.
