I'm reading through US Supreme Court filing in Texas
versus Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin. I'm on page 30 of 92 pages...

Wow!

Pennsylvania:
• Ballots with NO MAILED date. 9 005.
• Ballots Returned on or BEFORE the Mailed Date. 58 221.
• Ballots Returned one day after Mailed Date. 51 200.
"These nonsensical numbers alone total
118 426 ballots and exceed Biden’s margin of
81 660 votes over Trump."
Pennsylvania: CSV file from the state on November 4 depicts 3.1m mail in ballots sent out but on November 2, the information was provided that only 2.7m ballots had been sent out. "This discrepancy of approximately 400 000 ballots from 11/2 to 11/4 has not been explained."
Georgia: "Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated Georgia’s statute governing the signature verification process for absentee ballots. This unconstitutional change in Georgia law materially benefitted Biden"
Michigan: "Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated Michigan election statutes related to absentee ballot applications and signature verification. Michigan’s legislature has not ratified these changes..."
Michigan: "Secretary Benson also violated Michigan law when she launched a program in June 2020 allowing absentee ballots to be requested online, without signature verification as expressly required under Michigan law."
Michigan: "Benson’s unconstitutional
modifications of Michigan’s election rules resulted in
the distribution of millions of absentee ballot applications without verifying voter signatures as required by MCL §§ 168.759(4) and 168.761(2)."
Michigan: "These non-legislative modifications to Michigan’s election statutes resulted in a number of constitutionally tainted votes that far exceeds the margin of voters separating the candidates in Michigan."
Michigan: "71% of Detroit’s Absent Voter Counting Boards ('AVCBs') were unbalanced—i.e., the number of people who checked in did not match the number of ballots cast—without explanation."
Wisconsin: "In direct contravention of Wisconsin law, the Wisconsin Elections Commission and other local officials unconstitutionally modified Wisconsin election laws—each time taking steps that weakened, or did away with, established security procedures..."
Wisconsin: "...over five hundred unmanned, illegal, absentee ballot drop boxes were used in the Presidential election in Wisconsin... However, the use of any drop box, manned or unmanned, is directly prohibited by Wisconsin statute."
(If you're following this thread thus far, note the number of times the word "unconstitutional" manifests in this filing)
Among other things, Texas wants the court to:
A. Declare that Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin administered the 2020 presidential election in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution...
B. Declare that any electoral college votes cast by such presidential electors appointed in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin are in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and cannot be counted.
(Texas is able to approach the Supreme Court directly because Article III of the US constitution gives the court original jurisdiction in disputes between two or more states. This case cannot be kicked to a lower court. https://t.co/YadX4acWG7 )
(The following states have petitioned the Supreme Court to join Texas in its application:
Missouri, Alabama, Nebraska, Arkansas, North Dakota, Florida, Oklahoma, Indiana, South Carolina, Kansas, South Dakota, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Utah, Montana, West Virginia)
"Legal experts say the Texas case, which repeats allegations about mail-in voting that have already been roundly rejected in dozens of courts across the nation, has no chance of being heard by the Supreme Court." – Bloomberg (No chance? Hmmm...) https://t.co/i36ITdocVs
"The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday evening, December 8 ordered Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia to reply to a lawsuit filed this week by Attorney General of Texas Ken Paxton."

(That deadline is 15h00 today.)

We’ve been getting calls and outreach from Queens residents all day about this.

The community’s response? Outrage.


Amazon is a billion-dollar company. The idea that it will receive hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need MORE investment, not less, is extremely concerning to residents here.

When we talk about bringing jobs to the community, we need to dig deep:
- Has the company promised to hire in the existing community?
- What’s the quality of jobs + how many are promised? Are these jobs low-wage or high wage? Are there benefits? Can people collectively bargain?

Displacement is not community development. Investing in luxury condos is not the same thing as investing in people and families.

Shuffling working class people out of a community does not improve their quality of life.

We need to focus on good healthcare, living wages, affordable rent. Corporations that offer none of those things should be met w/ skepticism.

It’s possible to establish economic partnerships w/ real opportunities for working families, instead of a race-to-the-bottom competition.
