A Declaration Of Dissolution: Wisconsin Supreme Court Fires The Starting Gun

Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission

  • The 2020 election was “illegitimate”
  • “If a vote is cast in an illegal process, it’s an illegal vote.”
  • Wisconsin Supreme Court decision
  • Donald Trump did not have to prove the existence or extent of fraud, only deviation from legislative schemes

Michigan

  • Unlawfully imposed rules for validating absentee signatures and a refusal to comply with an enactment allowing access to drop-box video surveillance.
  • The Stacey Abrams settlement that, as a U.S. Supreme Court amicus curiae brief demonstrated, ran afoul of schemes regulating drop boxes and signature identification.

Pennsylvania: A state Supreme Court decree involving absentee deadlines that, per U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, "squarely alter(ed) an important statutory provision enacted by the Pennsylvania Legislature."

  • Trump had 95% approval among Republicans in October 2020, yet GOP congressmen ran ahead of him by 63,547 votes.

Trump ignored advice to get a legal team ready to fight and ignored the advice of his advisors

  • Trump's attorneys combatted unlawful provisions state by state, before and after Nov. 3, but were slapped down repeatedly on the inappropriate "lack of evidence" standard
  • Barr was threatened with sanctions for representing him

The Journal did get one thing right: "Judges are unlikely to throw out legitimate votes after the fact." Or even illegitimate ones.

  • Petitioning states had an interest in preventing their "lawful voters'" disenfranchisement when battleground jurisdictions' constitutional infractions led to an "illegitimate" national outcome.

Since they got no help from courts, "deep red states should simply declare the union dissolved"

  • Jefferson's term - "by nefarious actions to disenfranchise Americans."
  • Justice Bradley has now officially fired the starting gun. Let the Great American Opt-Out commence.
