Judge tosses Mia Love lawsuit to halt vote count

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A judge on Friday dismissed GOP Rep. Mia Love's (Utah) lawsuit seeking to halt the vote count in Salt Lake County as the congresswoman continues to trail her Democratic opponent in the race for Utah's 4th Congressional District, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

Love, who is currently behind Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams, filed a lawsuit earlier this week, calling for the ballot-counting process to be stopped. Love, in her lawsuit, sought the right for her campaign to examine the validity of certain votes in the Utah county.

Third District Judge James D. Gardner dismissed Love’s suit Friday, stating that she "failed to show an entitlement."

“Although the Love Parties identified specific relief sought in the Petition, they failed to show an entitlement under Utah law to the relief sought,” Gardner wrote, according to the publication.

“In other words, the Love Parties failed to point the Court to a single statute, rule or case that would entitle them to any of the relief sought in the Petition,” he continued.

1. Love must be running out of red county votes.

So she tries to stop the blue county from counting. Sounds desperate. Boy, I hope the Dem hangs on for the win.

3. Unfortunately she's ahead now. n/m

4. But, is the counting over?

Has provisionals been counted? Has late mailins been counted?

6. The counting is continuing

Unfortunately the metrics based on what areas are left are not good for Ben McAdams.

2. Repugs always want to stop vote counts, even poor, misguided AA repugs.

Sad.

5. I don't care what their race is.

If they are a republican running for office, they are foul. I have not seen a decent republican officeholder in my life, all of them win by hating something, never by having a vision on how to improve people's lives.

7. Agreed. It's just especially egregious to me as an AA to see AAs belong to that racist party

8. 2-3% of Blacks vote republican.

Even though it is clear that racists have taken over that political party. That is fucking tone deaf, IMO.

9. Be clear. What's tone deaf?

10. Being a member of a party that is overrun by AA hating racists.

That isn't as bad as being a Jewish Nazi in 1939, but it's getting close. I would never support a group where most of it's members dislike me simply for how I was born.

11. Thanks. Agree 100%.
