I have posted the DOJ's lawsuit against Ms. Wolkoff, former aide of Melania Trump. One question leaps to mind: Did the guys who signed off on this lawsuit actually go to law school?

If they did, they would have learned in the first semester course on contracts that a contract cannot be gratuitous. Yet, they seek to enforce a document entitled "Gratuitous Service Agreement" and which provides, in part, that

Wolkoff is "not an employee of the Federal government for any purpose."

Perhaps they should read Fed.R.Civ.P. 11(b) which provides, in pertinent part, that by signing the complaint they certify

The Trump campaign lost another attempt to suppress voting, this time in Pennsylvania.

As set forth by the Court, there were three claims presented: "First, whether the use of so-called “drop
boxes” for mail-in ballots is unconstitutional, given the lack of guidance or mandates that those drop boxes have security guards to man them.

Second, whether the Secretary’s guidance as to mail-in ballots—specifically, her guidance that county election boards should not reject mail-in ballots where the voter’s signature does not match the one on file—is unconstitutional.

I have uploaded two federal cases dealing with the '20 election.

The first is a case from Florida dealing with the breakdown of the Florida registration process. slnews.us/pbgl101020a

The second is a case from Texas ordering Texas to suspend its "single voting location" rule. slnews.us/pbgl101020b

The Florida opinion is more interesting. The relief sought was denied because the Court felt that the wrong could not be remedied.

However, the opinion makes it clear that: "In the end, this case is not about Floridians missing registration deadlines. This case is also not a challenge to a state statute. This case is about how a state failed its citizens.

A short story for a Saturday night, "The Masque of the Red Death" by Edgar Allen Poe.

It starts: "The 'Red Death' had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal . . . ."

Prince Prospero, "when his dominions were half depopulated, summoned to his presence a thousand hale and light-hearted friends from among the knights and dames of his court, and with these retired to the deep seclusion of one of his castellated abbeys.

This was an extensive and magnificent structure . . . ."

"It was towards the close of the fifth or sixth month of his seclusion, and while the pestilence raged most furiously abroad, that the Prince Prospero entertained

If anyone doubts that the Trump Administration is, to its core, dishonest, read this: "The C.D.C. removes guidance acknowledging the virus is transmitted mainly in the air, days after posting it." nytimes.com/2020/09/21/wor…

Then, read this from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "We have elucidated the transmission pathways of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by analyzing the trend and mitigation measures in the three epicenters.

Our results show that the airborne transmission route is highly virulent and dominant for the spread of COVID-19. The mitigation measures are discernable from the trends of the pandemic.
