Judge Blocks Certification of Pennsylvania Election Results

A Pennsylvania judge on Wednesday ordered state officials to not certify the results of the 2020 election until her court holds a hearing on an election contest on Friday.

Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to not take any further steps to complete the certification of the presidential race, which the state announced on Tuesday. She also blocked the certification of all the other election results.

“To the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, respondents are preliminarily enjoined from doing so, pending an evidentiary hearing to be held on Friday,” the judge wrote in her order .

Hmmm, it looks like the election isn't over quite yet.

Funny how you leave the important facts that disagree with your argument.

The very next line that you failed to include
[quote]“Respondents are preliminarily enjoined from [b]certifying the remaining results[/b] of the election, pending the evidentiary hearing.”[/quote]

Meaning the PA certification of the presidential election results, which happened on Tuesday, still stands.

Not only that, but this lawsuit argues that the Republican main Trump argument that the State Legislators decide the electorals is wrong, as the State Legislators (majority Republicans) passed the law they're trying to overturn, which is in the Constitution.

So even if this lawsuit effects the down ballot races (which is what it's stopping from being certified), and flips the down ballot races.

One might also have to flip the Presidential certification (which usually most states have no process or ability to do) AND maybe change the US Constitution so that State Legislature don't get to control their states electorals. Which is never going to happen.

The best this MIGHT be able to do, MIGHT cause enough doubt that Congress doesn't use PA's electoral and Biden gets 286 (still at or above 270). And there isn't even a good shot at that.

[b]First, we have to see if this case quickly[/b] get thrown out for being completely BS like the Trump ones did...

[b]The Republicans seem to be suggesting this lawsuit should be tossed out quickly too[/b]

[quote]The Republican-controlled state Legislature responded, in legal filings, that the case should be dismissed because Act 77 didn’t alter the requirements of who constitutes a qualified voter, and that the Legislature is constitutionally authorized to prescribe the method by which those electors may cast their votes.[/quote]

@Viper Hey, that’s no fun. Buttstick wants to think that this is the start of the election being reversed. Why let the truth spoil that?

@LeopoldBloom True, but sometimes I feel like someone should actually education him. Or he'll continue to believe the lies he spreads.

But I guess he's in his 70s, you're right, I should let him die with his blissful ignorance.

@Viper He's in his 70s like Biden is in his 20s. Butthead also claims to have donated a kidney. Next he'll be telling us that he dated Elizabeth Taylor and was an astronaut.
