The public and other individuals should not have to pay for the costs of this election fraud nonsense which has no evidence nor any basis in fact. If it did, they would have shown some.
(oh, but Mike Lindell . . . yeah, right.)

They were, we all saw the pictures. But this lawsuit didn't go into that. From what I gather here, it was a federal suit that attempted to halt the submission of the state results. Our DNC rep provided an injunction denial that basically said "filed too late", and that the 11th amendment restricts citizens' suits in federal court against a state.
No idea whether there are state efforts still ongoing to enforce transparency in the future.

"The pictures"?
Citations please. Last I heard there were some photos of ballots in a ditch and some other sketchy pics that were misleading, all debunked and the ditch photos were actually done by some Republican asshole trying to fabricate the evidence. We continue to see actual evidence of extremist conservatives trying to cheat elections, and all the evidence they claim to have always seems to disappear in a puff of fakery and bullshit.
PLEASE if you have credible evidence SHARE IT! So far on this site all we've gotten are sketchy images attached to opinion pieces with lots of emotionally scary language.
