Går inte att jämföra med 2000 när det gäller magnitud. Det här gäller 5 delstater. Här handlar det om en utredning kring ett gigantiskt valfusk. Om inte utredningen är klar till den 14 december kommer inte elektorerna i dessa 5 delstater ( republikanska) att rösta. Då får ingen 270 elektorsröster, som krävs för att bli president.
Hahaha, dream on.

In an article titled "Is There a God?" commissioned, but never published, by Illustrated magazine in 1952, Russell wrote:
Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.[2]
In 1958, Russell elaborated on the analogy:
I ought to call myself an agnostic; but, for all practical purposes, I am an atheist. I do not think the existence of the Christian God any more probable than the existence of the Gods of Olympus or Valhalla. To take another illustration: nobody can prove that there is not between the Earth and Mars a china teapot revolving in an elliptical orbit, but nobody thinks this sufficiently likely to be taken into account in practice. I think the Christian God just as unlikely.
Varken domstolar, skolor eller vetenskapsmän har någon plikt att ägna tid åt att utreda lösa påståenden som i princip är
icke-falsifierbara (dvs, som är konstruerade /underbyggda så att de alltid kan ha "bakdörrar" för att fly från empiriska och vetenskapliga argument). Jfr Karl Popper.
Och nej, inte ens Barr eller diverse domare som utnämnts av Trump lär vara intresserade av att dras ner i djupet med Den Käre Ledaren om det visar sig att hans fantasifoster inte låter sig bevisas på ett tydligt, evidensbaserat sätt. Och då måste det ske snabbt.
