California Governor Violated the Constitution With Mail Ballot Order: Judge

California Gov. Gavin Newsom exceeded his authority and violated the state Constitution with an executive order that let all Californians vote by mail if they wanted to.

Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman ruled Friday that the order, N-67-20, “improperly amended existing statutory law, exceeding the governor’s authority and violating the separation of powers.”

The order stated, citing the COVID-19 pandemic, that “all Californians who are registered to vote in” the Nov. 3 election “must be empowered to vote by mail, as an alternative to in-person voting.”

Newsom, a Democrat, argued that California’s government code gave him the power to issue orders like the one concerning mail ballots, but the judge was not convinced.

The legislative branch makes laws, Heckman said in the 9-page ruling, while the governor and the executive branch sees that laws are faithfully executed.

“The Governor may not exercise legislative powers unless permitted by the Constitution. Article V, Section 1 of the California Constitution does not grant the Governor the power to exercise those functions which have been given to the Legislature, absent the Legislature’s delegation of a portion of its legislative authority to such executive officials or entities through statutory enactments,” the judge ruled.

You are woefully misinformed. Everything that you have highlighted is moot. You may also wish to become familiar with the recent voting process legislation that has passed in Pennsylvania.

The portion of Executive Order regarding absentee ballot voting was superseded by CA AN 680 less than two weeks later. Governor Newsom stated that the executive orders were put in place to "get a jump start" on the work that the pending legislation would make necessary.

California's legislature passed a law that allows for 100% mail-in voting without a voter ballot request on 18 June 2020 specifically citing reasons such as COVID-19.

U.S. District Court says that DACA program must continue.

Judge Rules Acting DHS Secretary Lacked Authority To Suspend DACA Program

November 14, 202011:36 PM ET


A federal judge in New York City says Chad Wolf was not legally serving as the acting secretary of homeland security when he issued a memo in July that stopped new applicants to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program.

Therefore, Judge Nicholas Garaufis of the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of New York ruled Saturday, Wolf's memo is invalid.

It's the latest court ruling against the Trump administration's attempts to undo the Obama-era program that currently protects about 640,000 young immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children.

In June, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's attempt in 2017 to cancel DACA, saying the administration's reasoning was "arbitrary and capricious." In July, a federal court in Maryland told the administration to start accepting new applicants.

Instead, Wolf issued a memo on July 28 that, Judge Garaufis wrote, "effectively suspended DACA" pending a Department of Homeland Security review. Wolf's memo said the administration would reject new applicants. It also said the administration would renew protections for immigrants who already have them, but for just one year, instead of two years, which was the previous policy.

Wolf has been serving as acting homeland security secretary since November 2019; he has not been confirmed by the Senate. The last homeland security secretary to be confirmed by the Senate was Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned in April 2019. In August, Trump said he would nominate Wolf to the official job.

The Trump administration has previously been chided by another federal judge and a government watchdog for violating the rules of succession at the Department of Homeland Security.

Judge Garaufis said Wolf's appointment violated the Homeland Security Act of 2002.

He ordered the parties of the case to schedule conferences with the court by Sunday to inform the judge of any planned motions in response to the ruling.

"Today's decision is another win for DACA recipients and those who have been waiting years to apply to the program for the first time," wrote Karen Tumlin of the Justice Action Center, who represents DACA recipients in the case.

Trump wants the the recount in Georgia to stop

Trump and Joe Biden are separated by just 14,000 votes in Georgia, with Biden in the lead. Eveler said she expects a slightly different number to come out of the audit.
"I'm sure it will change because people doing a hand count, there's more reason to think they will make human error," Eveler said. "That's one thing that machines are really good at, is counting. So, we'll see what we end up getting. I don't think it will be large numbers."

Commander Trump is correct.

It is an unfair recount.

The courts are not involved in certifying any US election... The secretaries of the individual states and D.C. are.

There is no role played by "big tech" or media outlets. They simply rely on exit poll data and trend analysis to give a preliminary judgment or "call." Those methods are accurate more than 80% of the time.

Perhaps the issue is the recent popular misconception of the involvement of the US judiciary.

The point that you mistakenly referenced had nothing to do with elections but rather the modification of several points of law by the governor. The legality of those points as they pertain to a particular state's constitution or the US constitution is the only "process" served by the US judiciary.

So, again, you are not actually making a point.

Trump is trying to use the courts to try to delay/block the certification process. I think that's what he meant...and to wait for the outcome.

It doesn't look good for Trump though as the courts haven't been much in his favor so far.

If that is the case, then the OP has a fundamental lack of understanding of the differences between US Federal election processes and UK Parliamentary processes. With the exception of Rhode Island, Tennessee, Hawaii and New Hampshire, the date of certification is fixed at the state level and varies from state to state. All certifications must be completed prior to the meeting of electors, which is the set in the US Constitution as the first Monday after December 12th.

By state law, Georgia MUST certify its election by November 20. The recount was triggered by state law and is expected to be completed on November 20. The automatic recount has all but eliminated any challenge to ballots submitted that have not churned through the courts by now.

Point: On November 20, it is highly unlikely that there will be a result that is more than a few hundred votes difference than what was announced by the Georgia Secretary of State on November 13.

Detroit voters sue President Trump over his attempt to block certification of election results

DETROIT – Three Detroit voters have joined a local organization in suing President Trump and his campaign over their effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The Michigan Welfare Rights Organization, along with three Detroit residents, filed a lawsuit against the Trump campaign Friday, arguing that the campaign is seeking to disenfranchise Black voters in their attempt to block the certification of Michigan votes -- especially those from Wayne County.

“Having lost the vote in Michigan and other states that are necessary for a majority of the electoral college, President Trump and the Donald J. Trump For President, Inc. Campaign are engaged in a campaign to overturn the results of the election by blocking certification of the results, on the (legally incorrect) theory that blocking certification would allow state legislatures to override the will of the voters and choose the Trump Campaign’s slate of electors,” the complaint reads.

The lawsuit, filed on the plaintiffs’ behalf by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, claims that President Trump and his campaign are in violation of section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which states: “No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote, or intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for urging or aiding any person to vote or attempt to vote.”

The Detroiters argue that Trump and his team have been putting pressure on state and local officials to delay the certification of votes in Michigan. They claim that Trump’s campaign has been “intimidating or coercing state and local officials from aiding Plaintiffs and other residents of Detroit and Wayne County from having their votes ‘counted properly and included in the appropriate totals of votes cast’” -- which, if true, is in direct violation of the act.

Trump skips G20 Coronavirus meeting to tweet and play golf

President Trump Saturday blew off a G20 summit meeting on the coronavirus pandemic to hit the golf course. After logging in briefly to a video conference marking the opening ceremony of the economic summit, Trump boasted that he isn’t accepting defeat and leaving the White House just yet. “I look forward to working with you again for a long time,” he told the other leaders. But minutes later, Trump headed to his golf resort in suburban Virginia instead of interacting with other top leaders about the pandemic’s impact. He also sent out a tweet promising undisclosed big news about supposed fraud in Georgia’s already certified election win for President-elect Joe Biden. The virtual summit marks Trump’s final meeting with the leaders of the world’s biggest economies.

Trump supporters in Georgia ask RNC chair Ronna McDaniel why they should vote in Senate runoffs when system is "rigged"

By Benjamin Fearnow On 11/28/20 at 3:24 PM EST

Frustrated supporters of President Donald Trump in Georgia challenged Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel on why they should even vote in the upcoming Senate runoffs if "rigged" elections are "already decided."

McDaniel's Saturday campaign stop in Marietta, Georgia, appeared to backfire as Trump supporters who have adopted the president's conspiratorial accusations about "voter fraud" asked why their vote even matters. The scene doesn't bode well for Republicans as they look to hang onto a thin U.S. Senate majority that hinges on prevailing in two January 5 runoff elections. Both incumbent Georgia GOP senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, face stiff challenges from Democratic candidates Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, respectively.

One baffled Trump supporter at the event asked how Republicans turned out in such "crazy numbers," but somehow Joe Biden still defeated the president. He claimed "machines are switching the votes," a baseless accusation lifted directly from Trump.

Donor sues pro-Trump group for $2.5M over 'empty promises' on voter fraud


A pro-Trump group is being sued by a donor for not delivering on promises to overturn the election results in President Trump's favor. 

Fred Eshelman sued Houston-based True the Vote Inc. for $2.5 million -- the sum of a number of donations made to the organization -- over “vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises" he said he received after inquiring about the efforts to investigate purported voter fraud. 

True the Vote promised to “investigate, litigate, and expose suspected illegal balloting and fraud in the 2020 general election." 

The group filed lawsuits in several battleground states and collected statements from whistleblowers claiming they witnessed attempts to impede legal vote tallies.

The efforts were an attempt to bolster unsubstantiated allegations amid ongoing legal battles by President Trump, who has claimed widespread voter fraud cost him the race against Democratic challenger Joe Biden. 

But Eshelman's lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Houston federal court, claims his donations were for naught, and the group failed to update him on the status of the election battle, so he asked for his money back, according to reports by Bloomberg. 

Eshelman said in the complaint that True the Vote offered him $1 million if he wouldn’t sue, Bloomberg notes.

Eshelman is the former CEO of Pharmaceutical Product Development and founding chairman of Furiex Pharmaceuticals.

President Donald Trump raises more than $170 million since Election Day as he pushes baseless fraud claims

By Jeremy Diamond, Fredreka Schouten and Betsy Klein, CNN

Updated 9:23 AM EST, Tue December 01, 2020


(CNN)President Donald Trump and his political operation have raised more than $170 million since Election Day, a person familiar with the matter said -- a massive fundraising haul fueled by Trump's baseless allegations that the election was rigged.

The fundraising flowed into the coffers of Trump's joint fundraising committee in less than four weeks thanks to a barrage of fundraising solicitations to Trump's supporters, urging them to donate to an "Election Defense Fund" as the President hyped up conspiracy theories about a stolen election.

In reality, an increasingly large share of the funds have helped retire the Trump campaign's debt and fund the President's future political operation via a political action committee.

The Save America political action committee, which the President launched less than a week after Election Day, could fund his post-White House political life -- underwriting travel, staff and other functions, even if Trump never seeks public office again.

The Trump campaign declined to comment on the fundraising figures. The Washington Post first reported that Trump's post-election fundraising had topped $150 million.

Justice Department investigating potential presidential pardon bribery scheme, court records reveal

By Katelyn Polantz, CNN

Updated 0217 GMT (1017 HKT) December 2, 2020

(CNN)The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House or related political committee in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court.

The case is the latest legal twist in the waning days of President Donald Trump's administration after several of his top advisers have been convicted of federal criminal charges and as the possibility rises of Trump giving pardons to those who've been loyal to him.

The disclosure is in 20 pages of partially redacted documents made public by the DC District Court on Tuesday afternoon. The records show Chief Judge Beryl Howell's review in August of a request from prosecutors to access documents obtained in a search as part of a bribery-for-pardon investigation.

The filings don't reveal a timeline of the alleged scheme, or any names of people potentially involved, except that communications between people including at least one lawyer were seized from an office that was raided sometime before the end of this summer.

No one appears to have been publicly charged with a related crime to date.

The White House declined to comment on the court filing. CNN has previously reported that associates of the President are making appeals to him in the hopes of obtaining pardons before he leaves office. There is no indication that any of those associates are being investigated by DOJ in relation to Tuesday's filing.

A Justice Department official told CNN that "no government official was or is currently a subject or target of the investigation disclosed in this filing."

According to the court records, at the end of this summer, a filter team, used to make sure prosecutors don't receive tainted evidence that should have been kept from them because it was privileged, had more than 50 digital devices including iPhones, iPads, laptops, thumb drives and computer drives after investigators raided the unidentified offices.

Prosecutors told the court they wanted permission to the filter team's holdings. The prosecutors believed the devices revealed emails that showed allegedly criminal activity, including a "secret lobbying scheme" and a bribery conspiracy that offered "a substantial political contribution in exchange for a presidential pardon or reprieve of sentence" for a convicted defendant whose name is redacted, according to the redacted documents.

^Riveting. Made it to 3:20.

It's all the radical left's fault... except the numerous election officials in red states that agreed.. and his AG.... and Republican secretaries of state/governors etc.... but that's beside the point!



Republicans who defended Trump completely and enabled his demonization of the left, now suddenly understanding the character of Trump. I almost don't feel bad for them. Imagine pleading with the president of the united states to let good sense prevail, stop inciting his flock and call off his violent followers from threatening their own? They're even threatening election contractors' family members. Straight up death cult bizness. Again, Karma.

Tip of the iceberg. Wait till Biden gets the keys to everything.

3100 deaths reported yesterday and this nutjob is making 46 minute videos with lies about the election and the RNC is standing by him. Clearly they are a death cult.
