Federal judge orders Trump campaign to provide evidence of Pa. voter fraud

Aug. 13 (UPI) -- A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Thursday ordered the Trump campaign and the Republican party to produce evidence of vote-by-mail fraud in the state.

District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan called on President Donald Trump's re-election campaign to produce evidence supporting his claims of voter fraud in the state by Friday after it sued to ban dropboxes for mail ballots at county elections offices, CNN reproted.

"The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case," Ranjan wrote.

The Democratic Party and the Sierra Club wrote to the court on Wednesday requesting information and documents detailing how the Republican Party and the Trump campaign determined the possibility of fraud, particularly related to the use of dropboxes, ballot collection and mail-in ballots.

Lawyers representing the Democrats wrote that the Trump campaign "should not be permitted to raise such spectacular fraud-related claims, particularly in this national climate."

COMMENT:-

I don't suppose that a note from Mr. Trump that says

"I am the President of the United States of America and a stable genius who has a talent for these things.

My gut tells me that there is massive voter fraud in support of the Deep State conspiracy the existence of which is verified by the inherently reliable "QAnon".

So THERE!"

is going to be enough to convince that wacko, loony, crazy, left-wing, liberal, socialist, pinko, commie, activist, so-called "judge" who only wants to overturn the results of the 2016 election.

What do you think?

Evidence is not something Trump and his Cult do well. Mostly they just throw out accusations and troll over Twitter.
 
Trump: 'Well, I had the greatest and most magnificent win in Pennsylvania ever, how could it not be fraud?'
 
I dont have a problem with the judge asking that question but he should also be asking the other side what evidence they have that the votes are authentic. Both sides should be asked to prove their positions.

And with powerful voices like Rush Limbaugh and Sean hannity and the others at Fox while would they need facts question more they just repeat lies from those mass of liars over and over and over

Why is a federal judge reading requests from parties not part of the case, let alone issuing orders based on them?
 
I dont have a problem with the judge asking that question but he should also be asking the other side what evidence they have that the votes are authentic. Both sides should be asked to prove their positions.

The so called 'other side' as you say, has a clean historical record of an absolute absence of voter fraud. What evidence do the accusers have beside their feverish desire to suppress the vote?

Is there a problem with providing a judge this absolute record so that he can review it?

They are the ones bringing the case before the court, therefore they need to demonstrate that the case is worth hearing.

On this week's episode of, "Trump Supporters Will Say Anything"...
 
Why is a federal judge reading requests from parties not part of the case, let alone issuing orders based on them?
This wasn't spelled out, but they appear to be Amici curiae (friends of the court).

From the wikipedia page: Where a case may have broader implications, amicus curiae briefs are a way to articulate those concerns, so that the possibly broad legal or public policy implications of the court's anticipated decisions will not depend solely on the positions and arguments advanced by the parties directly involved in the case.

Uh, that doesn’t make any sense.

The Trump cabal is claiming fraud, and not providing any evidence to support their claim at all. Why should the “other side” be involved in it. It’s Trump’s claim, nobody else’s.

You guys are really running out of material.

You covered it. You even managed to work in nearly all the Trumpster/Limbaughlooney code words, name calling and race baiting!

Speaking of that, here’s the only thing you left out.

The judge is Indian-American. Indian, just like Kamala Harris!!!!!!!

The Deep State!!!!!!!

Wait till der fuhrer hears that! He’ll be on twitter in a flash. And the news models on Fox will have to sit up there and make excuses for it.
 
Trump: 'Well, I had the greatest and most magnificent win in Pennsylvania ever, how could it not be fraud?'

Didn't he also loudly complain whenever the opportunity arose that the 2016 election was 'rigged'? Strange that we never heard a peep about rigging once he got the job!

Trump had to disband his previous voter fraud commission or whatever it was called because no fraud was found.

Vote by mail has been going on for over a century and no evidence of fraud. There, that is proof enough.

Where was this judge when dems falsely accused Trump of being a Russian agent?
Oh yeah...speaking of which we may be getting some info today on which dems are in that slow boil pot.
 
Trump had to disband his previous voter fraud commission or whatever it was called because no fraud was found.

They were never serious about finding any. It was staffed by all the well known right wing anti immigrant/voter suppression operatives (Kobach, Von Spasofsky, etc).

They quickly got about the business of their real objective. Which was running a voter caging operation on a national level. States, including quite a few red states, refused to go along.

And the effort fell apart.

What you are saying is that one side should be asked to "prove a positive" and the other side should be asked to "prove a negative" and that the side which fails to prove what it has been required to prove should lose.

On other words, if the side that is claiming that there is "massive voter fraud" can provide even a single instance of fraudulent voting and the other side cannot establish that 100% of the votes were "legitimate" (which would mean actually tracking down each and every voter and having the voter confirm that the ballot results that were recorded with respect to the ballot that they cast were actually in accord with the ballot that they cast), then the side that is claiming that there is "massive voter fraud" should prevail.

Oh no it doesn't work that way. Prove there is no voter fraud? No, let trump prove his claims there is voter fraud. Pointing fingers and saying voter fraud is not enough, unless of course you're a trump supporter. Then it's good enough.
 
Ranjan? Hmm......not an American family name........reminiscent of Curiel.....:thinking:

Exactly what are you attempting to say about someone (Jagan Nicholas Ranjan) who was born in Lancaster, Ohio, USA?

Or is your reaction simply "ethnocentric" based on name?

PS - Exactly what IS "an American family name"? How do you separate them out from the remainder of the 162,253 surnames recorded that the US Census Bureau recorded 100 times or more in the 2010 census?
