Trump Allies Continue Legal Drive to Erase His Loss, Stoking Election Doubts

A group of President Donald Trump’s allies and associates spent months trying to overturn the 2020 election based on his lie that he was the true winner.

Now, some of the same confidants who tried and failed to invalidate the results based on a set of bogus legal theories are pushing an even wilder sequel: that by “decertifying” the 2020 vote in key states, the outcome can still be reversed.

In statehouses and courtrooms across the country, as well as on right-wing news outlets, allies of Trump — including lawyer John Eastman — are pressing for states to pass resolutions rescinding Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden and to bring lawsuits that seek to prove baseless claims of large-scale voter fraud. Some of those allies are casting their work as a precursor to reinstating the former president.

The efforts have failed to change any statewide outcomes or uncover mass election fraud. Legal experts dismiss them as preposterous, noting that there is no plausible scenario under the Constitution for returning Trump to office.

Stupid cannot be fixed!

The legal drive to reverse his 2020 loss has had ripple effects in the Republican Party. With midterm congressional elections less than six months away, the push has put pressure on candidates to either endorse it or risk the wrath of Trump and his supporters. In Alabama, Rep. Mo Brooks said that the former president had repeatedly demanded that he “rescind” the election and remove Biden. When the congressman said that was impossible, Trump withdrew his endorsement in the state’s Senate Republican primary.

In Pennsylvania, Jake Corman, the top Republican in the state Senate who promised last year to review the 2020 election results, said he had dropped plans to end his bid for governor after Trump urged him to “keep fighting.” He then went on Bannon’s podcast, where Corman said there was “no question” about the need to investigate whether electors needed to be decertified in battleground states, and pledged to “turn the Department of State upside down” to find evidence of illegality.

There must be a point in many organisations where the chief-of-staffs and generals and all the upper echelons realise their leader is batshit crazy and they are going to have to make some hard choices.

Too bad we'll never be able to erase the 100,000 people from Dominican Republic Trump let in in his last three years.
