Bull. There was nothing "unfair", "questionable", or "unverifiable" about the results.
This may be kinder and gentler than Trump's insurrectionist claims of fraud, but it's just as wrong.
I still quote the federal constitution as the mainstay of how elections should be handled, senate, representative or president. There is a procedure to be followed to amend the "manner" in which elections are to be held. Would manner include allowing/disallowing mail-in votes, changing deadlines for receiving and the like?
Clause 1
The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.
In the case of Georgia (or any other state for that matteR), it does not say it is to be decided by Raffensperger and Abrams behind close doors in a mutually agreeable fashion and then have it ruled on by a judge or state or federal court system - even if it was your sister or associate. The constitution said there are 2 ways to change the "manner" of elections not 3. The new precedent throws that one out the window or stretches the meaning of "the legislature"!
1) You need to bring it before the legislature and have procedures and manners decided.
2) You can go federally and do it with congress
3) There are no other options, See rule 1 & 2!
Yes, it very "questionable" when you evoke special privilege due to COVID and use that to extend voter ballot deadlines, allow mail-in ballots and whatever other "manner" you decide you want to make. That sets a precedent and with no SCOTUS ruling, anyone can change rules as long as the judges in power okay it and 2 parties agree.
What is the generally accepted definition of legislature?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_state_legislaturesEach state in the United States has a legislature as part of its form of civil government. Most of the fundamental details of the legislature are specified in the state constitution. With the exception of Nebraska, all state legislatures are bicameral bodies, composed of a lower house (Assembly, General Assembly, State Assembly, House of Delegates, or House of Representatives) and an upper house (Senate)
That is a constitutional interpretation which the SCOTUS refused to clarify. Does the manner of election decided for Senators and Representatives by the Legislature also apply to the Presidential election, often on the same ballot? Common sense would dictate that it does! Yes every state can change its rules, but there is a procedure follow.
