Lin Wood alleged (in Georgia) that he could prove voter fraud occurred in this election because more people voted in some parts of Michigan than actually lived there. Damning stuff. Except... /1
As this Powerline blog post shows, that expert confused Minnesota and Michigan. He was counting the population of towns in Minnesota, seeing they did not match Michigan towns, and finding fraud.
Watching these Sidney Powell press conferences, I'm reminded of a Supreme Court of Georgia case that almost certainly went the wrong way, in which the Court held it was constitutional to punish someone for pretending to be a serial killer on YouTube. /1
He was posting these bizarre videos with his face and voice distorted, and promising to confess to a variety of murders under the name "catchmekiller". And since, of course, he hadn't killed anyone, he was charged with GA's false statement law. /2
He argued that a conviction under this statute violated his First Amendment rights, and the Court agreed that if all you had to do was make a false statement and have it be in a court's jurisdiction, it would be unconstitutional. But they read it a bit more narrowly. /3
Sidney Powell claims she spoke to an anonymous "high-ranking military officer" and then reads off an "affidavit" than claims that a system was used to affect elections in Venezuala in 2006.
Wait. Are these people offering to let me PAY to teach people how to do appeals?
Tom Sawyer could take a page from these fine people.
Anyone who is dumb enough to PAY for the PRIVILEGE of doing a presentation on the thing they are BEST at should be driven into the wilderness with brooms and whips.
I quoted my speaking fee and they clarified that no, I would definitely be the one paying THEM.
My proposed counteroffer is that I will allow them to watch my children next week for only $3000.00.
