Can;t win by the rules? CHEAT

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...es-trump-push/

quote: The former president and Gov. Jim Pillen (R) threw their support behind a languishing proposal to return the state to a winner-take-all system to potentially aid Trump in November,

Former president Donald Trump’s push to get the Nebraska legislature to change the way it awards electoral votes faced a major setback Wednesday night, when lawmakers voted overwhelmingly to prevent the change from being attached to an unrelated bill.

Nebraska is one of only two states that divide electoral votes among statewide and congressional district winners, which allowed Joe Biden to pick off an electoral vote in the red state in 2020 by carrying a swing district in the Omaha area. But Gov. Jim Pillen (R) and Trump on Tuesday endorsed a proposal to return the state to a winner-take-all system, possibly upending the final days of the state’s legislative session, which ends April 18.

After all of the democrat led rule changes made by the democrats in many states around the country preceding the 2020 election, it is good to see the Rs doing some of their own.

It looks like a deadly avian flu will be used to shut the country down again right before the election again so the democrats can fabricate enough absentee ballots for Briben Joe to win again. It will probably take 90 million this time.

Hey, EINTSTIEN, it's not cheating when you lrgally change a law.
Does your computer not have Google?

During the pandemic, the rules for voting were DRASTICALLY changed in many states, removing all checks for honest voting.


Wher the F*** where then?

The move failed in the Senate.

Not even close. May not come back up

Apparently they are afraid of losing federal funds

Going about the legal means of the state Reps and Senators to change the states Electoral votes is *ahem* cheating.

However, allowing for mail-in voting and ballot harvesting by almost zero legal means for the 2020 election is NOT cheating (well at least if they are on your side then it is completely fine).

You can't even it make it up as how intellectually dishonest, intellectually challenged, or politically rabbit-hole blinded that some people are.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...-deposed-media

quote: The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s prosecution on charges of retaining classified documents denied his effort to have the case dismissed on the contention that the Presidential Records Act allowed him to transform them as personal property and possess them at his Mar-a-Lago club.

The ruling by US district judge Aileen Cannon was significant as it struck one of Trump’s main defenses and suggested the case is headed to trial.

Cannon’s three-page order rejecting Trump’s motion to dismiss rested on the fact that Trump’s argument about the Presidential Records Act did not directly address the applicability of the Espionage Act, which he has been charged with violating, meaning it did not give her a basis to toss the case.
