Opinions Don’t Change Facts
To the editor:
Mr. Pennington doesn’t seem to grasp a basic understanding of the situation playing out today in our nation’s courts. Trump and his campaign are now 2-51 in court cases. See, if laws were broken, as Mr. Pennington assets, then there should be verifiable facts to back up which laws were broken. Yet, no one, not one single court case, has yet proved this in a court of law. You know, the court system: those enacted with upholding the laws of our nation.
Despite what FoxNews and the rightwing media want to portray, our courts – from dozens of state level decisions to several federal level decisions and now a unanimous SCOTUS brief order – have upheld the validity of this election. Despite what Mr. Pennington, Ms. Frank, and the right-wing talking heads in the right-wing media bubble keep saying, Trump, his campaign, and the mouthpieces for his misinformation have yet to produce any factual data in any court of law that substantiates their outlandish claims: from laws being broken to fraud. They have produced ZERO evidence. I invite Mr. Pennington, Ms. Frank, or anyone else to prove, CREDIBLY, where laws were broken, that there was fraud on a level to change any single election outcome, or that any voting machine maliciously changed one single vote. Good luck finding that as much smarter people working for the Trump campaign have yet to produce one iota of fact-based evidence.
While your opinion and that of the right-wing media bubble may matter to you, your opinion doesn’t fly in our fact based court system. In some places in America, facts still matter and your opinion doesn’t fly. Additionally, as we have now passed the safe-harbor date with enough states reporting to give Mr. Biden more than the requisite 270 electoral votes to win, There is little if anything that can be done to change the lawful, legal election results, despite what your opinion is. Mr. Biden will be sworn in next month as our 46th president of the US because some Republicans, the court system of this country, and 80MM+ voters cared more about this country and our American way of life than they did about themselves. And when Trump is removed from office, the assault on our elections and his seditious actions should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
