I don't know who needs to hear this, but it is NOT legal for @GSAEmily to falsely claim she can't ascertain any apparent winner. No more than it'd be legal for the DMV to go "I don't see any license renewal here" because you refused to slip them a bribe to process it.
And no, there would not need to be a new law at a future time saying "It's illegal for DMV Clerk X to refuse to process Joe B's renewal without a bribe." It's already illegal. Lying in your official capacity and obstructing government function is illegal, already, period.
And no, it doesn't work like "Who's to say what eyesight really is, maybe one person's green is another person's purple, no one can ever know, because our system has no mechanism to determine truth." Stop that. We're better than that, as a people.
Emily Murphy is lying, and she is not going to stop lying at some date that you set your heart on, because she is not sincerely doing the functions of her job, she is abusing her office.
When someone's abusing their office, there's nothing that we can do, outside of confronting that truth, that could get them to start doing their official functions properly. We can't like, trick her into doing the right thing. Put Joe in a mustache or something and try it. No.
But hey good news, there is a whole court system just for things like this! People who have rights that an official of the government is not respecting? They can sue about it!
And yeah, some of the judges are corrupt, the guy trying the coup packed a lot of them in. But if you don't ask ANY judge then you are definitely going to lose the case that did not happen.
