webfact 79,103 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Pennsylvania Judge Halts Further Vote Certification Steps Bloomberg Law A Pennsylvania judge issued an order preventing the state from taking additional steps to certify its election results until she holds a hearing on Friday morning. The ruling on Wednesday by Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough in Pittsburgh halts the process “to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election.” Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified President-elect Joe Biden’s 80,555-vote Pennsylvania victory yesterday, and Governor Tom Wolf appointed electors for the state. Boockvar and Wolf are both Democrats. The case before McCullough is separate from the federal lawsuit by President Donald Trump’s campaign that seeks to undo Pennsylvania’s certification unless it tosses out tens of thousands of mail-in ballots the suit alleges are illegal. The state case was brought by Pennsylvania Republicans led by U.S. Representative Mike Kelly, who sought to derail certification by arguing that the state’s expansion of mail-in voting was illegal.

I'm watching the hearing now (it was live streamed). I've heard some interesting teasers so maybe I'll be back with some highlights (it's almost 4 hours). The question now, at least in my mind, is if Trump succeeds in PA what happens to other states? 3 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post tonray 13,459 Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2020 Trump is simply extending this as long as he can...just as he did with his business bankruptcies...so he can bilk more people out of money. By stopping payments on his casino debts, he forced the banks to either lose everything (the casinos were worthless basically) or settle for far less than owed. By extending the election drama..he continues to milk people for contributions which will go mainly to pay his personal and campaign debts or be used for a 2024 run. Suckers....let them get bilked...eventually some of them will figure it out. 15 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, it is pretty clear what will happen: The case will be dismissed, as all the other cases before. Why? Because the election has been held in a fair and transparent way (as it is possible) and the staff and helpers have done a good job. There is no evidence of widespread fraud or misconduction. So there is no reason not to certify the election result. The delay to certify the results for 4 day is all the losers can do. It may even go on to the next court level. It's a shame, but the final outcome is inevitable. 11 2 Link to post Share on other sites

A majority seems to be so deluded, it's perplexing to see. 10 Link to post Share on other sites
Slip 3,252 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I don't really get this. If "Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified President-elect Joe Biden’s 80,555-vote Pennsylvania victory yesterday" what does "halts the process to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election" even mean? How can there be any further action to halt something that has already happened? Link to post Share on other sites
