I've no idea what Donald, or his supporters, would have done had he won the popular vote but had the Supreme Court dismiss it.
What I do know is that Biden got more votes than either Obama, Hillary or Kamala did in their runs at the POTUS.
That's incredibly unusual and worthy of pondering - particularly just the numbers themselves
I don't know much, or anything, about prolife or the counter to them - but it does seem like a rather sensitive issue that I wouldn't be running on up front and centre.
You brought that up before and at that time I explained that there was a record number of votes cast in that election so it only stood to reason that both parties would get more votes than their predecessors.
Donnie also got more popular votes in 2020 than President Obama got in '08, and I guess one could make the same case about that
That's incredibly unusual and worthy of pondering - particularly just the numbers themselves
unless one was to consider how many millions of more people actually voted in '20 than in '08. -

Considering that we voted to retain all three justices on the ballot by approximately 62% to 38%, there really isn't any point in you and Juan contesting the results.

my comment was more in line with contesting a general election.
i'm not contesting these results. they don't affect me outside of some precedents that are set in their courtroom and federal elections.
from my own personal experience, i think all elections at anything higher than the local level should be scrutinized. -

From a purely political perspective there are 19 electoral votes in play in Pa and it is a swing state and viable for both parties.
However, I don't see this last election as very important on a national level in the big scope of things. -

Right. I posted a thread for the Democratic victories in every state. For some reason this one really took off
And this is actually a perfect example of what Donnie The Diddler does best.
Juan seems convinced that the 24 point margin for retaining the three Pa state supreme court justices was due to election fraud.
Because he "heard" that Pa has a history of bogus vote counts.
Because in 2020 the count in Pa took an extended period of time.
Because Republican state lawmakers set the rules so that the count of the truly massive amount of mail in votes (which were mainly cast by Democrats) could not begin until 7 am on Tuesday morning. And I believe that the election workers were not allowed to even
prepare
that overwhelming amount of mail in votes for opening until 7 am on Tuesday.
And add to this that several counties (including the red county that I live in) did not start counting mail ins until Wednesday morning.
And it is a fact that the lion's share of mail ins was democrats
(because Donnie The Diddler specifically told his minions to vote in person and NOT by mail)
.
And before that Tuesday it was no secret that there was an enormous amount of mail in votes that were going to need to be counted; and since Donnie The Diddler had told his zombies NOT to vote by mail, everyone had a pretty good idea of where the voters who had cast those votes were leaning.
So the election workers in Pa were set up from the very beginning to look bad and the vote tabulation to appear questionable.
And Donnie The Diddler needed Pa (and a few other states) and he had the loudest voice in the room and he used it to tell everyone, over and over again, that the extended period of time it took to tabulate the mail in votes in Pa was because Democratic election workers were manufacturing votes.
And there were/are people who want(ed) to believe that.
This came up in a prior thread discussing trust in the vote tabulation in 2020 and Juan's reply was "csb." -

Donnie The Diddler won Pa in '16 and '24 and President Biden won it in '20.
I have been here since '92, and as I remember, even though it was always considered a swing state, Pa went blue for POTUS in every election from '92 until '16. Which is probably why Hillary took it for granted. But she did not lose it by a lot.
(Reagan obviously won it in '84, and I don't know whether Bush or Dukakis won it in '88, and I am not curious enough to do the google to find out.) -

Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin were always reliably blue. So was West ****ing Virginia! Ohio was always a swing state but it really isn't these days. But hopefully next year's Senate and gubernatorial race proves me wrong.

Yeah, about the time I started paying more attention (which I suppose started in '92) Fl and Oh were considered swing states. Not anymore. I never paid much attention to WV until probably in the twenty teens (more interest and more time on my hands), and by then, except for Manchin being successful, they were all calling WV "Ruby Red." I do have a vague recollection of a D senator named Bird being successful there, but that was before I was paying a lot of attention to politics on a national level.
