The complaints in the US House and US Senste are not balanced with reality. They are all ideological arguments.
No election is perfect. Americans make mistakes and not all complaints matter. There maybe some valid concerns with “the vote” however those valid concerns serve no impact to the unmarred vote.
We have a presidential election by majority. It is the majority that matters and if a small number of mistakes are real, that isn’t going to matter because it has no effect on the outcome.
So while some people want to knit pick, no matter how loud they cry about a few votes it isn’t going matter. They can seek to improve the election in the future, but, there will be new mistakes because the rule changed. These issues are superfluous to reality.
The complaint about Pennsylvania and a law being unconstitutional is an invalid complaint, the judges ruling that it is too late to complain is correct. An entire state’s vote cannot be thrown out after the fact. Campaigns, especially those of major parties, MUST do their research about balloting BEFORE the voting by citizens begins. There has been many elections won and lost because candidates or campaign organizations never bothered to read and approve the ballot. There are deadlines to when changes to a ballot can be carried out because the ballot must be finalized for voting.
Senator Pat Toomey is basically saying the same thing in defense of the Pennsylvania vote.
At one time, I think it was Pennington, New Jersey, horse either ridden or pulling a carriage had more rights than autos. Anyone can understand that as there was once a time when autos were an oddity and trucks didn’t exist. That law stayed on the books for decades until it was brought to the attention of the town. Then signs went up to tell motorists that horses maybe found along the road that lead to a favorite nearby park.
Laws can be completely obsolete and yet they are still law. Their obsolescence is what negates their effectiveness. Laws, in the hearts and minds of people can be nostalgic as well and allowed to lay fallow. Many, but not most, American are unaware of this dynamic.
Unfortunately, it is my concern that the conman named Donald John Trump preyed on the naiveté of people, hence, the violence today. Trump actually expected it to work and the American democracy would lie in chaos allowing him to come forward as king.
Donald John Trump is not a bright man. Law Enforcement is loyal to the country of laws, not a country ruled by one man. A police officer spends his/her day at work enforcing the rule of law. They write tickets and summons based on the rule of law. Trump could never move this country away from the people.
I never guessed he would try such a folly as this and neither did anyone else. Protesters turned into rioters by words of Donald John Trump when he turned them toward the Capital building.
At one time Trump stated to the Proud Boys to stand by and stand down. Odd thing for a president to say, unless the Command and Chief planned his assault on our democracy today. The evidence is circumstantial because no one is a mind reader.
Peace to all Americans. One of us is dead because of the folly by a man that hates. We should never forget that.
