Don’t look now but a Pennsylvania trial court Judge has ruled that the way mail in ballots was handled is unconstitutional. This is opening needed for the Republican controlled legislature to certify an alternate slate of electors. There is now a not insignificant chance that this election could end up in the House. Why? Because there is good cause to believe that the Biden win was the product of fraud. The Democrats have fought tooth and nail any attempt to examine the ballots in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta where victory was given to Biden with suspiciously high totals for Biden. A lot of hoops for Trump to get over in order to get the election into the House, but it is no longer entirely impossible.
Update:
Predictably the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, effectively an arm of the Democrat party dismissed the case with prejudice. I will let attorney Barnes do the honors:
We will not return to normal…there really are dark forces against us.
We know that anti trumpers have engaged in riot, civil disobedience domestic terror ever since PresidentTrump won the first time and no doubt that will continue if he wins now.
The media doesn’t want democracy since they see rube citizens incapable of thinking and voting for their own good. Attempts to sabotage the functioning of our government is an attack on us. So if Trump gets a second term we should be prepared for the war to intensify.
So will it appealed?
Almost certainly to the US Supreme Court.
From a non-lawyer’s perspective the “the case is dismissed because you didn’t sue early enough” looks like the court is saying that the case has merit, but they need some excuse to throw it out to serve their political masters.
Does it look different from a lawyer’s perspective? More importantly, will it look that way from the Supreme Court’s perspective.
How soon will SCOTUS be able to hear the case? They should have gotten involved earlier as it was obvious how the PA Supreme Court would rule.
If the Supreme Court will hear the case they will be doing so quite quickly. The Supreme Court had the chance to act on part of the rule change manipulation by the Pennsylvania Supreme Count, and 4-4 they did nothing.
Has Supreme Court Justice Amy Barrett had enough time, now, to feel comfortable about making a decision?
No doubt. She is now participating fully in the Court.
“I certainly hope that all members of the committee have more confidence in my integrity than to think that I would allow myself to be used as a pawn to decide this election for the American people,” Barrett told senators on the Judiciary Committee last week.
[From Oct. 20th Washington Post.]
Sometimes Trump can be his worse enemy…Tweets and opinions that would better suit him unsaid…but you can’t stop a speeding locomotive on a dime. He is who he is. A bulldog in the time in history in which we needed a bulldog.
Prayers.
My former far-left, now Trump supporter (I converted his former liberal daughter-in-law, too) consistently has been more optimistic than I am. He sees the legislative scenario.
Biden
Didn’t
Win . . .
President Trump Was Robbed.
We Know What They Did Last Election.
Still, I am looking forward to seriously resisting.
No justice. No peace.
Wake up!
It’s now organized brigandage not republican government.
The Democrat party and deep state are criminal enterprises disguised as a political party and as a bureaucracy, respectively.
We Were Robbed.
It Was A Coup Not An Election.
Well-stated, Rudolph H.
My late father, in his post-military life, was clerk of a superior court in Northern California—and the judge-class is the biggest bunch of herd animals in nature. “Must serve their masters.”
President Elect?
No, President-Defect.
My understanding was the challenge was based on the PA Constitution. Does the US Supreme Court have jurisdiction over whether things go against state constitutions?
Hope I am wrong and get a chance to find out; but I am not sure the House would elect Trump if given the chance. I know Republicans control most State delegations but with the Rinos that secretively hate his guts would they have the guts to vote for him.
Yes, if a Federal election is in question, particularly the election of a president. Bush v. Gore is a good resource on these questions:

Gotcha, thanks!
Let us not forget that the other Catholic president won in much the same way as Mayor Daly had much tighter control over the counting process in Illinois. The tradition in Democrat politics, to include Catholic members I am ashamed to say, runs deep and long.

The Daley machine’s chicanery wasn’t enough to hand the presidency to John Kennedy. Not enough electoral votes in Illinois. If fraud is the explanation there, you’d have to look to Texas or Missouri to find it.

Other than Mitt Romney, I think they’ve pretty much retired from Congress. Susan Collins and Sleaza Murkowski are a problem for party whips, but they’ve never not been a problem. Didn’t matter who was in the White House. There’s been complaint about Richard Burr. I first recall seeing complaints about him in 2006. The source was Prof. KC Johnson, who thought Burr repulsively evasive about the prosecutorial misconduct in his own back yard in re Michael Nifong’s shenanigans; wagers his problem is that he’s a capon in every situation.
Those people are all Senators, so they only matter if we think peak 2020 would the House electing Biden and the Senate electing Pence.
The real question is (1) do the Republicans control enough State legislatures that matter (and there’s only four, perhaps five, that do), to deny Biden electoral college win, throwing the election into the House? and (2) are there enough Republicans willing to possibly (almost certainly) put their own political futures at risk to give Donald Trump four more years?
The answer to the first is, “perhaps” (I really don’t know, nor am I going to research it, because…)
The answer to the second is almost certainly “no.”
The Republicans control the legislatures in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona. You are probably correct that the Republican legislators are unwilling to stick their necks out right now. That could change depending upon proof of fraud and what their voters tell them they want them to do. The odds are against Trump, but this has been a very odd year and it still has a month to go. For example, Biden breaks his foot playing with his dog. Don’t be surprised if either his mental state and/or his physical health rapidly decline with details being leaked by Harris partisans. Lots of potential moving parts still to play out in this very peculiar scenario.
My money is on a Corrupt Bargain wherein Biden/Harris get the White House and Mitch McConnell keeps the Senate Majority.
Thus giving the Democrats two more years to work out the remaining kinks in their vote fraud operation.
They should have the Federal government fully weaponized just in time for Harris to openly assume the reins, assuming they can keep up the illusion that there’s nothing wrong with President Bernie.

I can’t make sense of Brad Raffersperger, other than perhaps he’s a man who habitually doubles-down on mistakes.
History doesn’t work that way in this country Ernst. Nothing fails like political success in this country. Conservatives wailing doom and gloom right now are thinking with their emotions rather than making a clear eyed assessment.
I have no doubt that even if the democrats win by fraud, their victory will not be permanent.
I am skeptical of whether their loss of power in that scenario will occur without blood.
