Great Recap, analysis and predictions. Too much to condense

(tiny part)

Summary: Coleman needs to show the court why any, some or all of these ~2000 should be opened and counted (Thats right. They are still sealed and NO ONE KNOWS how they will break. Coleman picked them from precincts and counties around the state that otherwise went for him, so he's playing the odds, but its still trying to draw a K-Q to fill in your 10-J-Ace.) Still, there is perhaps enough uncertainty here that the Court will let this go to the Franken side of the case. Its hardly been proven, but the math is still 2000 maybes vs. a +249 lead. Also I think the Court will order the remaining "5th pile" ballots (about 400). The remaining 933 broke in Franken's favor by +176....so by the same measure these 400 or so should break for Franken at least +70.....

Prediction: These aren't counted yet, and those that are registered still have to pass the other 3 gates (like did voter vote in person? If so, absentee ballot is canceled.) Best guess around the internet is broadly 600-900 of the 1500 may be valid on this matter. If so, and if they otherwise pass muster, I think the Court will eventually order these opened and counted, probably by the Sec. of State's office. We'll see.

1. I think the judges need to pick up their gavels and pound

it into Normie's head that we're all tired of his wasting time and tax money on this obstructionist game.

2. Well said

And I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the judges are getting to just that point. You do NOT jerk judges around the way the Greaseweasel has and find them smiling benignly down upon you. I clerked for a couple of judges. They ALWAYS remember every sneaky trick an attorney has tried during the course of a trial.
