Folks, this is the single dumbest election lawsuit of the entire cycle, and I've read kraken filings front to back.

No, I'm not going to walk you through this one with screenshots. It is 115 pages, and 400+ paragraphs, of unalloyed, unfiltered, uncut stupidity

This is stupidity as it would be if Jesse & Heisenberg were cooking it. Sydney Powell and Lin Wood stay up at night dreaming of perhaps, if they really work at it, someday coming close to the levels of legal incoherence that Erick Kaardal has accomplished here

They have managed to pull together a truly impressive roster of plaintiffs without standing, to sue a bunch of Defendants not subject to jurisdiction in Washington D.C., one for the minor reason that IT DOESN'T EXIST.

Seriously

They named "the Electoral College" as a defendant, and pretended it had an address at the US Capitol building.

Never have I so looked forward to reading an affidavit of service

(For those who don't know - to start a lawsuit, you need to not only file a complaint but formally serve it on the defendants. Once you do, you file affidavits of service detailing how the party was served. I'd love to see what that would look like here)

Ok, one screenshot tweet

This is generally the portion of your complaint where you would allege facts explaining how the defendants are subject to jurisdiction in the court you're suing in. They just basically went with

The substance of the claims is as stupid as anything we've seen this cycle: apparently, legislatures passing election status calling for executive branch officials to certify results is unconstitutional

It not only violates article 2,but voters have equal protection and due process rights to have legislatures - and legislatures alone - certify election results?

Also, this is apparently only true in swing states that voted for Biden. The rest of the country that does that? You're fine

And they definitely couldn't have raised this tooth fairy of a claim before the elections. I mean how were they supposed to know which states to sue until they saw where biden won?

I can't even get angry about this one, truly. It's like watching a squirrel trying to drive a car.

All I can feel is amazement at what I'm seeing. And pity.

Just point, laugh, and walk away
