"Constitutional strategy" of GOP may be headed for Delay's old Texas dist!

[emlev]

Judges in California and Nevada have within the past week dismissed cases challenging elections, citing Article I, Section 5 of the U.S. Constitution. I recently talked to Paul Lehto/Land Shark about my thinking that this strategy may be headed for Delay's district in Texas. Today he articulated those ideas in an interview on Raw Story.

1. What's up with the VR program, Emlev?

I saw this:

"Velvet Revolution Election Protection Strike Force

First, VR is continuing to roll out our VR Election Protection Strike Force as we attempt to hold off the wave of train wrecks currently wreaking havoc on our electoral system. The fight, for VR at least, began long ago and continues to this day as we head toward November.  The Strike Force has several components: 

a battery of lawyers in key jurisdictions and races prepared to file lawsuits challenging electoral fraud and malfeasance;

a media war room to inform the mass and online media of problems before the election and problems on the day of the election so they will have the information necessary to report to the public on what is going on as our electoral system continues to meltdown;

a strike force of activists who will be on hand to witness and challenge election fraud and illegally administered elections through emails, petitions, phone calls, rallies, and protests;

a large whistleblower reward fund to attract information about fraud and malfeasance;

a marketing campaign to inform every person involved with elections, from poll workers to Secretaries of State, that we expect clean and honest elections and that we will hold them accountable, both civilly and criminally, for any fraud or malfeasance;

and finally, a hotline/tip line where people can report fraud. 


We need all VR members to be a part of this Strike Force by becoming poll workers, keeping an eye out for problems, reporting fraud to us, and donating big time for this campaign!"

3. weaponizing the Constitution for election termination

the Constitution wasn't serious when it said election every two years "by the People" of the several states, some say.

4. WEAPONIZING THE CONSTITUTION!

Sorry to yell. Now I wish I'd called the thread that, but it's too late to change it.

Do you think they're going to grind it up into powder and sprinkle it around post offices and the Capitol now?

7. It's called "Election Nullification"

Simple, straight forward. They just nullify them;)
