Lin Wood, an attorney known for defending Richard Jewell in a case about an Atlanta bombing, lodged a lawsuit in federal court on Friday against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the four other members of the state's Election Board.(snip)"I filed a lawsuit today in federal court in Atlanta to establish that the March 6, 2020 Consent Agreement by the GA Secretary of State rendered UNLAWFUL the 11/3 GA general election," Wood tweeted on Friday. "I am right under established law."

Someone smarter than me needs to explain this to me. Sounds hopeful, I just don't understand exactly what he is challenging regarding the Absentee ballots.

My take on this is the State Legislature makes all Election Rules. Their Rules said the votes needed to arrive by 8 pm on Nov. 3rd. No other votes would be counted. Then the Sec. of State and the Election Board decided to change those Rules themselves. THEY allowed all of those Extra Mail in Ballots to be counted. This went against the State constitution. I think this is what the Attorney wants to be thrown out. Anyway, that's my understanding on what is happening in Georgia!

To expand on #. There is language in the US Constitution and some Federal court precedent clearly stating that only the state legislatures can write election law regarding Federal elections. The Georgia Secretary of State and Board of Elections appear to have used the “sue and settle” tactic to get the Georgia courts to make substantive changes to the state election law. This, Trumps legal team believes is contrary to the US Constitution. “Sue and Settle” was a tactic used during the Obama administration to bypass the need to enact actually laws. The tactic involves having a “friendly” outside interest group sue the government over some grievance or policy they didn’t like or wanted to change but couldn’t get enacted in law. The conspiring parties filed a lawsuit with a pre-negotiated outcome and then “settled” the lawsuit asking the courts to enter a consent decree essentially forcing the government to adopt policies the actual law doesn’t provide for or allow. In the case of election law, during the last couple of years, democrat interest groups filed something like 300 lawsuits in various states complaining of alleged discriminatory election laws and then settling on expanded mail-in voting, longer early voting periods, etc. All these settlements created the environment for the fraudulent election we just had.

I suggest Georgia voters physically go 'see' the Election Board members and persuade them to stand down. Let the investigation proceed. And be prepared for armed Antifa/BLM counter protesters. Give as good as you get. The police will likely be ordered to harm you as well. If the Swamp realizes we're serious, they might back down, for now. They are very careful of their own tender hides.

Good luck, but I suspect that there will be judges to toss out almost all (or all) cases without any consideration of the facts of the situation at all. For political reasons, they will stop the cases from being considered before any facts can be litigated.

This case is not about late arriving ballots. It's about Georgia's Sec. of State (not part of the Legislature) entering into a "Litigation Settlement Agreement" with only Democrats, to water-down ballot approval/rejection requirements mandated by Georgia's Legislature (e.g., the elector's signature and other ID information - specific to that elector - required to be on that ballot) which SHALL be compared with information in the state's files regarding that elector.

#7 is correct. It is intended to show that the SOS and other powers outside of the Georgia Legislative Branch does not have the power to Arbitrarily change GA election law. It is also a case of disparate treatment of voters, because some were allowed to “cure” their ballots while others were not.

#3 explains this perfectly. “Sue and settle” is the main tactic for Democrats especially for elections and discrimination cases. Unless an election case makes it to SCOTUS and you can prove the outcome will change, that’s the end of it. The Constitution gives each Legislature control of elections, Article II Section I, not any individual or group. My guess is TRUMP’s is using the statistical approach to show outcomes would change if state election commission changes to procedures practices did not occur. This allows for the suits to move forward. Additionally, statistics is also being used to show voting anomalies related to outright fraud would also change the election outcome in the case of Dominion machines. This is a long way from being resolved in court. TRUMP may not win, but he will likely win lawsuits concerning votes counted as a result of unauthorized changes to election law. Get ready for wailing and gnashing of teeth. Let’s all be thankful we finally have a president who will fight to the last inch for what is right and Constitutional and not roll over saying it’s for the good of the country to give in and lose.

Simply put, the argument is that "Federal" election law is the state's law, as enacted by the state legislature. Bureaucrats cannot alter the law as written. Nor can the courts.

Pa & Georgia allowed the courts to change election rules in mid stream ...the law states only legislative can make or change laws. ...this should be the deciding factor for the SC to rule.

Finally — finally — we're there: Election Day. But here's some potentially bad news: The whole thing may not actually end on Tuesday. You've all seen the nightmare scenarios -- one actually ends with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) as temporary acting president. And of course, no one really knows what's going to happen (least of all the pollsters -- remember 2016?). But here's what you might expect to happen on Election Day. First, a ray of optimism: President Trump shocked the world last time by sweeping to victory over heavy frontrunner Hillary Clinton — all before midnight.

Bill Gates this week added more flame to the fire in the ongoing debate over the usage of hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19, claiming that using the drug to treat the coronavirus carries with it the risk of "severe side effects" and arguing that medical officials should instead pursue the numerous "good therapeutic drugs" currently in development. Yet there is at present little evidence that "severe side effects" are common in COVID-19 patients who take hydroxychloroquine, with the majority of reported adverse events being relatively mild and only a small fraction of reported effects so far being dangerous and/or fatal.

Georgia was one of the last states to cave to a statewide lockdown. It was also one of the first to start reopening. Republican Gov. Brian Kemp resisted calls to mandate a statewide closure, leaving it to local governments. When reopening was an option after guidelines were published, Kemp ensured that all Georgians would be allowed to participate in the reopening and prohibited local governments from implementing more restrictive guidelines than he did at the state level. The media freaked out on both ends of the lockdown. They browbeat Kemp until he issued the stay-at-home order.

J.K. Rowling – the multimillionaire author known for writing the perpetually popular "Harry Potter" series of novels – penned an essay this week defending her opposition to transgender ideology, claiming that the "deeply misogynistic and regressive" movement is harming young men and women and making women less safe. Rowling generated significant backlash last year when she tweeted that "sex is real," a noted rebuke of transgender ideology from a popular public figure. Transgenderism posits that men and women can "identify" as the opposite sex if they feel strongly enough about it, a position that few in any celebrities have challenged as aggressively and publicly as Rowling.

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
