The one non-frivolous case I think Tapper is referring to is the Pennsylvania vote segregation procedural thing which apparently is a rounding error in terms of votes affected. Alito just sorta threw them a bone in that.

GOP legal eagle Ben Ginsberg came on and made the point that a real all-star legal team cane out to bat for GWB in 2000 (including current scotus justices Kavanaugh and Barrett apparently) but nobody is coming out to bat for Trump. Ben says it’s because there’s no there there.

Dana Bash points out that tTrump’s legal team is not just second rate but that a lot of good GOP lawyers like Ben himself simply dislike Trump and don’t want to fight for him anyway. Interesting if true. How much do you have to suck to not get even lawyers to take your money?

This is now a golf thread. The best part of this story is the name of Trump’s opponent: Ted Virtue. Cannot make this shit up.

The geographic segregation of voting patterns is utterly remarkable. What is it about cities that makes people reliably Democrat past a critical size/density? And to what extent is coastal blueness explained by greater urbanization (almost entirely I suspect)

More people per square miles correlates with general desire to communally invest in improving the lot of all. Fewer people per square mile.... eh... roll survival of the fittest.

Does election represent messianic inversion of norms? Eg Dems usually signals less agency, but Dem charismatic candidate signals “Hope”/“Change”/“you matter”s
