Re: PA WHERE IS BARR? Shouldn’t Federal Elections be played by FEDERAL RULES?

This is absolutely absurd. It’s a Federal Election. Why the Frick are the rules regarding it being set by states anyway?
BARR needs to file for a TRO ASAP in PA Federal District Court.
This is horseshite.

No. Read a book. Or the Constitution.
We do not have a singular federal election for President in this country. This is also why popular vote is nothing but a meaningless statistic. Each of the 50 states + DC hold their own elections.
We are a federal republic. The individual states are sovereign in and of themselves, apart from the federal government, and they (as states) elect the chief executive. Not the people and not the population.
With very few exceptions, the states can allocate their Electoral College votes however they want. The individual states aren’t even required to HOLD a popular election to decide where their EV’s go for President.

Actually, there is no such thing as a federal election, per se. You are voting for federal offices, but it’s actually a state issue.

you are absolutely correct.
the election is the election you don't count votes 3 days later until you win.

FEDERAL Election Laws and FEDERAL Campaign Finance Laws say hello to your thesis that the Feds have no right to set election rules and regulations regarding positions wherein Federal pairings are being filled.

You are seeing why it's so important to vote for state judges, governors, sec of states etc
Down ballot has so much power contrary to what we think.

Seems to me the Feds have quite a bunch to say about elections and they have wide latitude on regulating elections.
Perhaps you should read this book

FEDERAL Election Laws
Nothing you cited impacts the states actual administration of the election. Things like the VRA tell the states what they CANNOT do.
You can yell at the sky all you want. But these elections are administered by the states, and they are largely free to allocate their EV’s however they see fit.
quote:
FEDERAL Campaign Finance Laws
Not the same thing as laws governing the administration of the election. These laws are directed at campaigns and organizations. Not states, and not the election itself.

All of this shows me that the polls we are seeing are complete garbage and Trump is up big because Democrats wouldn’t be going through such great lengths to steal the election with fraudulent mail in ballots.

See above.
Bunch of federal election laws.
File TRO and let the Federal Courts say why the Federal Govt does not have an interest in preventing voter fraud in a election to elect the head of then Executive Branch of the FEDERAL GOVT.

That is not the standard for a TRO

Again, it’s denied immediately in this instance.

I mean surely if you’re right the DoJ will quickly spring to action and take care of this.

at the very least the lawyers of the GOP Trump campaign need to wake-up.

You don’t think “irreparable harm” if the use of non compliant ballots are counted to choose the head of the Federal Govt can’t be argued?
Ok dude have a good one

Weird that you quote irreparable harm here, whenever it was not included in your post that I responded to.
And, on the merits, you are correct (despite not meaning to be) the federal government loses that argument. Fed Gov is not the proper party to bring something like that here.
Citizens of Pennsylvania? Much more likely to see success.

I will. No request for a TRO will be filed btw. But I’m sure the DoJ is as wrong as I am
I agree with your premise on the wrongfulness of PA’s policies, in case you were wondering. It’s blatantly encouraging shenanigans with vote totals and ballot harvesting.
But the point remains that it simply is not an issue for the federal government, unless and until the current legal framework is changed. It is an issue for the people and commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

BULL shite. They have standing to bring such and action and they can also get a few PA citizens to join them arguing that the citizens’s votes that are legit may be irreparably damaged by illegal ballots being counted.

Then bump this thread when said suit is filed, with FedGov as a plaintiff. I’ll be waiting.
If you’re right, absolutely nothing is preventing DoJ from filing tomorrow at 9am. How strange that they won’t.
