Trump team wins hearings in Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania legislatures on election concerns | Just The News

As far as I can see, the phrase "wins hearings" is quite misleading here, isn't it? It seems to me that what Giuliani is advertising as hearings before the State Legislatures are actually meetings between Trump and groups of Republican members of these legislatures, with no official standing or legal authority whatsoever, right?

We've had our authoritarians in the electorate as a significant force since the early nineties in the Flanders. Their party oscillated between less than 10% to 24% in these years, now again well over 20% in the polls.

Nothing has worked: ignoring them, castigating them, having other parties talk tough against immigrants, etc ...

Hope your pros are smarter than ours.

Maybe they could learn from your experience, although our mileage might vary given the differences between our Congress and your parliamentary system.

It's just about the most urgent long-term political issue in the U.S., as it will significantly affect the ability to handle anything else one might consider to be more important (like climate change, etc.).

Yesterday I thought that these would be airings of grievances; I still think that, but with added snake oil grifting. With Rudy at the ready, and the kiss-ass Jenna Ellis to back him up, this ought to be good.

Correct. It was a hearing. People say things at hearings. The only "rulings" issued in a hearing would have to do with committee procedure like "your time is up."

Correct. The House and Senate leaders in AZ don't know anything about it, nor does the state GOP.

In GA, they threw away the envelops with the signatures that the ballots came in, then commingled the mail-in ballots with the day-of ballots so there was no way to tell them apart.

A useful event for testing allies and creating a sort of unified front he desperately needs to get traction.

With do many trying to save a career or distance themselves it hasn't gone well.
It doesn't even appear Pence wants much to do with it either.

Literally printed on a yellow-bordered paper that says "OFFICIAL ABSENTEE/PROVISIONAL/EMERGENCY BALLOT" across the top.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Here is the retweet.
And the original from yesterday.

It's long been known that only part of Trump's tweets are done by Trump himself. The retweet may have been by a staffer frantically retweeting anything Trump would agree with and not noticing who it was from.

He retweets his own tweets fairly often. I figured he just thought he had made a really good point in the original and was retweeting as a way to emphasis it.
