a formal ruling it appears he will not accept a suit backed by Democrats to stop the new rules because in the end the counties have no choice but to say this is the best vote total we can determine. They can investigate, gripe and moan for a few days, then they have to certify.

After winding through back and forth about it. The MAGAt election deniers must certify. Period. They can bitch, piss and moan and put out all sorts of lies and propaganda about the ballots - and they likely will -- but they will have to certify the result.

so all the Corporations, and upper executives can easily understand it

The United States Supreme Court, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party......and Corporations......

I fear they will elect Trump, and the United States of America, will become: The United Corporations of America, or:

Corporate Fascist Tyranny of America......
