BREAKING: BOOM! A federal judge absolutely HAMMERS the Trump team for trying to rig the election in stunning smackdown of their demand that California stop counting mail-in ballots!
Holy smokes, he didn’t hold back…
Trump's Department of “Justice” demanded an emergency stoppage of mail-in vote counting in California on the baseless allegation that 20,000 of the votes could be from illegal immigrants.
This is, of course, complete bullshit, and the judge put an immediate stop to it in no uncertain terms.
"Never before in American history has the federal government, on the eve of an election, sought to coerce a state and local government to abandon their own Constitutional elections procedures and bend to the will of the Executive Branch. In bringing this lawsuit, the Executive would have this Court believe that it reigns as a sole sovereign. But California and its people are sovereign, too,” wrote Judge David Carter in his decision.
"Once a vote is segregated, lasting harm has occurred," Carter wrote at the conclusion of his order. "If the Executive can discount votes and threaten an ongoing election due to unproven allegations, then our democracy is in danger. This Court declines to be a party to such process."
It’s clear that the Trump administration is going to do anything and everything it can to try to tilt the elections in their favor, and it’s up to our judiciary to put a stop to it.
Thankfully, we have judges like Judge Carter who are brave enough to take a stand for democracy and refuse to play along with these preposterous, undemocratic rigging attempts from the Trump team.
