Recent court rulings utterly debunk two nonsensical theories in MAGA land:

1) States violated their own law or the Federal Constitution.

2) The State Legislatures can choose electors directly.

1/
Wisconsin (Trump v. WEC) Part 1

“Wisconsin’s selection of it’s 2020 Presidential Electors was conducted in the very manner established by the Wisconsin Legislature."

"lost on the merits"

2/

Wisconsin (Trump v. WEC) Part 2

"There has been no violation of the [Federal] Constitution"

Notice how this debunks the idea that Legislatures have to choose electors. Popular selection of Electors is the law (in all states), and it does NOT violate the Constitution.
3/
Michigan (King v Whitmer) Part 1

"Any alleged deviation from state election law amounts to a modification of state election law[DO NOT]open the door to federal review"

This goes to show that SCOTUS is not the authority on state law.

Pennsylvania Trump appeals (canvass of absentee and mail-in ballots) Part 1

"there is no evidence of fraud"

legal rationalizations should "aim at saving ballots, rather than voiding it"

Pennsylvania Trump appeals Part 2

THEY TRIED TO INVALIDATE A BALLOT BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THE PEN WAS WRONG!!!

This also goes to show the difference between mandatory and directive instructions from the legislature, more on this in a minute.
Pennsylvania Trump appeals Part 3

Trump was trying to throw out thousands of ballots on technicalities that didn't "warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvania voters"

Directives are not mandatory and don't validate the trashing of a legal vote.

This thread will debunk "the judges didn't look at evidence" nonsense that has been going around.

Over and over again, judges have gone out of their way to listen to the evidence and dismantle it, enjoy the carnage!

1/
Bowyer v. Ducey (Sidney Powell's case in Arizona)

"Plaintiffs have not moved the
needle for their fraud theory from conceivable to plausible"

This is a great opinion to start with. The Judge completely dismantles the nonsense brought before her.

2/

King vs. Whitmer (Michigan, Sidney Powell case)

"Nothing but speculation and conjecture"

This is a good one to show people who think affidavits are good evidence. Notice how the affidavits don't actually say they saw fraud happen in Detroit.

Decided to check out what was happening on parler regarding SCOTUS, their website is a horrific design mess, but it is interesting...
Searching the Parlor gutter for SCOTUS gold #2

This website makes me appreciate the beauty of Twitter, it's a hobgoblin of bad design that you have zero search options for!
Swimming the cesspool of Parler for SCOTUS takes #3

Seriously, this trash website will be dead in 2 years @RemindMe_OfThis
