Ziccarelli argued that the Election Code does not allow mail-in ballots to be counted unless they are signed and dated.Dershowitz thinks Trump will win Pennsylvania if enough votes are at stake:
"Neither the Election Code, nor any other legal principle governing the conduct of the Board, permits the Board to exercise discretion relative to the examination of mail-in ballots or alter the scope and nature of its duties," the complaint said, the Tribune-Review reported.
The Board did not comply with its lawful duty and in deciding the count the ballots, overstepped its reach, the Republican candidate said.
Ziccarelli is neck-and-neck with state Sen. Jim Brewster, a Democrat. Just 20 votes separate them, as of Saturday morning.
"I do think that Trump will win the Pennsylvania lawsuit," said Dershowitz on SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight with host Joel Pollak, "namely, the lawsuit that challenges ballots that were filed before the end of Election Day but not received until after Election Day."
Dershowitz continued, "The [Pennsylvania] legislature had basically said no to that and the [Pennsylvania] Supreme Court said yes because of the pandemic. That may have been the right decision in some theoretical sense, but the Constitution doesn't permit anybody in the state but the legislature to make decisions about elections."
"That was decided correctly in Bush versus Gore, and I think that four-to-four vote would become a five-to-four vote if the issue came before the Supreme Court and there were not disputed ballots to make a difference in the outcome of the election. That remains to be seen."
Dershowitz remarked, "As I understand the facts of the case — although I think what the judiciary did may have been the right thing morally: if you get your ballot in on time, you shouldn't be denied the vote just because the post office screwed up — I don't think you can really make that argument under Article Two. I do think that the Republican argument is the stronger one.
"The Supreme Court will take the case only if it would make a difference, only if the plaintiffs — the Republicans — can show that the number of disputed ballots that were subject to sequestration by Justice Alito's decision exceeds the difference between the winning margin and the losing margin."
Dershowitz concluded, "The Pennsylvania constitutional argument is a wholesale argument that clearly belongs in federal courts."
All those brain-dead lefties have no idea that they just sealed their fate. Get ready for the Great Reset slavegrid!
