Even if the plaintiffs did have standing, the judge says he would still count the votes. He says the tents qualify as structures. — PolitiTweet.org

@doggodogman Open secrets uses individual donations. So if you work at company X and make a donation that counts. I don't think that is very useful. I look at PAC contributions. Those are controlled by the company itself — PolitiTweet.org

@bitterboi93 Yes, they rejected it. But there is a federal case as well — PolitiTweet.org

7. It's a preview of what will happen if Tuesday's results are at all close. Republicans will filed lawsuits on any conceivable theory to throw out legally cast votes. Then, they'll hope the case will ultimately be resolved by sympathetic judges. https://t.co/i5TCrkZxG3 — PolitiTweet.org

6. And yet, the Republicans have a chance in this case. Why? They drew U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen, "one of the most notoriously partisan conservatives in the federal judiciary." Hanen immediately scheduled a hearing, raising fears https://t.co/i5TCrkZxG3 — PolitiTweet.org

5. What is the basis for throwing out 125,000 ballots cast in a manner that was approved by the Republican Secretary of State? There is none! The plaintiffs don't cite any authority for this remedy. https://t.co/i5TCrkZxG3 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. The lawsuit was initially filed in state court and the plaintiffs were asking the courts to shut down the drive through voting sites. That lawsuit failed. So now the same plaintiffs are in federal court asking a judge to throw out all the votes https://t.co/i5TCrkZxG3 — PolitiTweet.org
