ok, worst case scenario, coleman wins this decision, what are the ramifications for franken?

that would only happen AFTER the universe implodes and ceases to exist

so Al would have bigger stuff to worry about, in that case

Coleman won’t win because he can’t introduce enough countable votes into his side of the ledger. That’s why he and his people and his RNC buddies have been screaming ever louder about the alleged errors and problems in the process when most of these problems have been created or exploited by him.

Can Franken be sworn if there are still legal challenges by Coleman ?
~~This guy~~ The RNC ain’t gonna give up too easily !

Fixed for ya.

Hey, all, don’t miss Christy’s hamster appeal this a.m. It’s “pledge week” at FDL. Subscriptions, donations, and click-thru’s to the advertisers still hereabouts all keep the wheel turnin’.

Isn’t it the campaign that’s on the hook for this, loky? I’d love it if Normie was personally on the hook for this, but I’d be stunned if he was.

And if the campaign contracted their web presence with WebSites ‘R’ Us (or whoever it was), aren’t they actually the responsible parties?

Dunno as of yet. The opening of the ballots will likely be filmed.

The people will hear about it now. An official complaint has been filed with the Minnesota A.G. with a copy to all the credit card companies explaining what happened and what the awful results are. They have all been given copies of the database. Minnesota law requires notification immediately of any breach (that happened back in January the first time).

Normie may have thought he had problems with this election mess, and maybe with that bribery/fraud thingy, but wait until American Express, Mastercard, Visa and Discover card companies lawyers get done with him. The State Courts won’t have to deal with him - he’ll be in so much doo-doo he’ll never get out. It is one of the biggest rules they have that you do NOT store the security codes on the back, you do not store the entire credit card number - only the last four, and if you choose to store that and the expiration date - they MUST be encrypted. Normie fails on all.

The credit card companies are in the process of notifying customers, replacing cards, going over charges, etc. Guess who gets to pay for all of this? Normie …. and it could run in the millions. I don’t think his campaign donors want their money going to stuff like this.

I have a query PW? Are the judges going to make their decisions in open court so the Uptake can screen it? Or will this, for the first time, be behind closed doors.

tbsa-They did precisely that, along with names, addresses, phone numbers and the PIN#’s. My understanding that after the Coleman campaign failed to secure the still open link after notification by Wikisource, it was Wikisource who went out of their way to notify the cardholders.

It was pretty easy since they had everybody’s phone numbers! Many donors thought it was a prank until their card info was read back to them. Some immediately called the authorities.

That was when Coleman’s team started spreading the LIE about hackers breaking into their system.
