trump campaign is writing a 7.9m check to wisconsin for a recount.
to anyone wondering, even if the recount somehow turned 20k votes in trumps direction, the 10 electoral votes still wouldnt make him president.
also the recount would apparently have to start by sunday and finish by dec 1 for it to be of any consequence.

rudy giuliani was obscenely bad in court yesterday.
When pressed by the judge on what standard of scrutiny should be applied to Pennsylvania government’s action, Giuliani replied: “The normal one.”
all the lawyers on this board will understand just how scary that answer is. it is as if he has no legal experience whatsoever. he doesn't understand basic -- 1st year law student -- legal questions.
the level of scrutiny the challenged conduct is reviewed under (strict, intermediate or rational basis) could determine if the lawsuit is successful or not. and rudy later admitted he doesn't know what "strict scrutiny" means.
that is malpractice.
i now think there is a 30% chance that rudy is actually on biden's payroll.
This was interesting. It’s not malpractice though. It’s theater. Winning is not the endgame. We have to be reminded of that when talking recounts.
Other than the obvious financial grift the rest of the plan is still a bit of a mystery to me. Keeping his followers in tow is central, of course. Trump may not have money but he has followers. That is his currency.

The only reason I care is because I bet against lol
My understanding is that the Trump campaign can't request a statewide recount after today's deadline. But if he requests a partial recount, then Biden would have the option of requesting a recount for the rest of the state.
What a horrible rule. I like the loser needing to pay for a recount, but the idea you can partially pay for places you lost is horrible. I’d guess Biden would pay for the other counties in that scenario. His campaign is flush with cash.
I hope for your bet that they can later withdraw after Georgia certifies on Friday as it would render it moot.
i guess my point is for the trump supporters who were hoping that there was a legit claim to be raised in PA, apparently there isn't as the trump campaign isn't even trying.
i think the judge also cancelled an evidentiary hearing that had been scheduled in advance of the ruling on the motion to dismiss.
i've had this happen a million times and in every single instance it means the case is getting dismissed. you would never remove hearings from the calendar unless you already knew the case was going away.

MICKEYCRIMM IS GOD. The only thing worth discussing until trump gets a case to the SCOTUS, coming soon after losing 5-2 in PA supreme court yesterday
Trump is not going to win the electoral college vote. That's a given. What needs to be exposed is the lengths democrats will go to to try and steal elections. Democrat voter fraud has to be nipped in the bud. Thats why Trump is going through the motions. Democrats don't care about honesty and fairness. Their ideology runs their miserable lives. Liberals are inherently miserable people. They want everyone else to suffer the same miserableness.
POKER FAG ALERT! FOR BLOW JOB SEE SLOPPY JOE THE TRANNIE HO.
