President Trump’s campaign said it scored two victories Monday in its effort to contest results in several key battleground states as Michigan state legislators agreed to hold a hearing into election irregularities while a federal appeals court expedited proceedings to consider Trump’s legal challenge in Pennsylvania.
The developments were announced Monday afternoon by Trump campaign senior legal counsel Jenna Ellis, who said the GOP-led Michigan House would hold its hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.
“We are grateful to Michigan House lawmakers for not rushing to certify inaccurate election results,” Ellis told Just the News. “We are confident they will share the same concerns once they see the extent of the outright fraud and disregard for the law that happened in Michigan and across the nation. Every American should want to know the truth.”

Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, who over the weekend said he feared the state was heading toward a constitutional crisis, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday ruled Trump’s “motion for emergency expedited review is granted at the direction of the court.”
The campaign must file its initial brief by Monday afternoon and the court said it “will advise if oral argument desired.”

The Trump campaign is appealing U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann’s decision Saturday to dismiss the campaign’s lawsuit seeking to throw out hundreds of thousands of votes in Pennsylvania on the grounds that Democratic-led counties made changes to voting that violated the equal protection clause of the Constitution. Brann, an appointee of President Barack Obama, wrote that he “has no authority to take away the right to vote of even a single person, let alone millions of citizens.”
His ruling cleared the way for Pennsylvania officials to certify results. Ellis cheered the appeals court intervention.
“We are grateful to the Third Circuit for accepting an expedited review,” she said. “There was no legal reason to deny our amended complaint, other than pure politics and judicial activism. This was an Obama-appointed judge whose opinion was rife with errors. We hope the appellate court will recognize that and properly give us our day in court. The American people deserve for us be able to bring forward our witnesses and evidence showing election fraud—this is at the heart election integrity and fundamental fairness.”"

For example, Giuliani quoted a Detroit poll worker named Jessy Jacob, who submitted an affidavit in the case of Costantino v. City of Detroit. Jacob claimed that she had witnessed poll workers in Detroit, a heavily Democratic city, encouraging voters to cast their ballots for Joe Biden, and that while she was working at “a satellite location” she was instructed by her superiors not to ask for voters’ identification.
On Friday, however, that case was dismissed by a Michigan circuit judge, Timothy M. Kenny, who said that several of the charges it contained were “rife with speculation and guesswork.” Kenny specifically addressed Jacob’s accusations, saying they were “generalized” and asserted “behavior with no date, location, frequency or names of employees.”
Giuliani also cited an affidavit in the case from Melissa Carone, a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems, to claim that trucks intended to transport food instead brought “thousands and thousands of ballots” to Detroit. But Kenny had also rejected that story, saying that Carone’s description of the events at a vote counting center in Detroit “does not square with any of the other affidavits” and that her “allegations simply are not credible.”
In referring to other cases brought by the Trump campaign, Giuliani made even vaguer accusations and provided no evidence to support them. He claimed that he had more than 100 affidavits alleging voting improprieties in a federal lawsuit the campaign filed in Michigan, Donald J. Trump for President Inc. v. Benson. But the campaign’s own lawyers voluntarily dismissed that suit just hours before Giuliani held his news conference.
Giuliani further said that the Trump campaign had affidavits proving that nearly 700,000 mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania had been tainted. But no such affidavits have been filed in the campaign’s federal lawsuit in Pennsylvania that is seeking to halt the certification of the vote there. Moreover, Giuliani never mentioned the affidavits when he personally appeared at a hearing in the case Tuesday afternoon.

I notice that Kid never posts about how Trump is getting his ass kicked in court, but harps on the fact that Trump gets the chance to go to court two more times. Considering how he has fared so far, maybe celebrating is a tad early.Keep on Civin'
RIP rah, Tony Bogey & Baron O

Well, he's acting deranged. His grip on reality is getting worse. More and more Republicans are starting to speak up.
But Trump doesn't care as he struggles to hold on to power. Americans are dying and he doesn't even have the balls to face the press.Keep on Civin'

I love how you think SCOTUS will answer all your prayers. If the Trump team uses the same lame attempts and lack of evidence that they have used to date, not even a bought and paid for SCOTUS will be able to save him.
An no, SCOTUS isn't all the matters... not if the cases never get there.Keep on Civin'

This back and forth isn't helpful. Lets go to the big man himself, Joe Biden, about voter fraud in his organization... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGRnhBmHYN0Long time member @ Apolyton
