THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE CONFIRMS BIDEN, THE REPUBLICANS OF PENNSYLVANIA GO FORWARD IN THE APPEALS

The constituency of electors confirmed Biden as president-elect. A formal passage, once the electors were elected "; which Texas had tried to block, but after which it actually gives Biden a true certification, so much so that Putin has sent his very belated compliments.

All finished? Absolutely not. There are two new features. The first is that a new, and better organized, Supreme Court appeal of the Pennsylvania Republicans has begun.

Subject, always the Pennsylvania electoral law and voting by mail accepted even after voting ends. A similar appeal had already been dismissed as it was considered late by the Court, but this is no longer a request for an urgent act, but a formal and complete appeal.

The case in point – quoted as Kelly v. Pennsylvania – argues that Act 77, the law that makes voting by mail legal in Pennsylvania without specific reasons, was enacted in violation of the Pennsylvania constitution. The state constitution, plaintiffs argue, prohibits absentee voting in Pennsylvania except for four limited circumstances, and Act 77 ignored them.

The lawsuit argues that the state law is "another illegal attempt to overturn the absentee voting restrictions set forth in the Pennsylvania Constitution, without first following the steps required to amend the constitution to allow for expansion." Let's see how the Supreme Court will rule in this case.

In addition, a new front opens up on Dominion voting machines, used in various states. A legal report on these machines has shown that they are unsafe, easily manipulated and able to give different results in the face of the same votes. Among the most obvious defects:

a) Initial computer setup on 10/03/2018 13:08:11: 911
b) Final configuration of the server software on computer on 4/10/2019
c) Unencrypted hard drive
d) Microsoft SQL Server database not password protected.
e) Democracy Suite admin passwords are reused and they share passwords.
f) The antivirus is 4.5 years out of date
g) Windows updates have been out of date for 3.86 years.
h) When the computer was last configured on 04/10/2019, Windows updates itself
they were 2.11 years old.

Dominion is at least a bad computer company. This evidence could be the basis for further appeals, even in local elections. A nice mess that should be healed by a bipartisan decision. Will they have the courage to take it?
