America is now unlikely to have fair elections, without corruption, ever again - if it ever has. It's only because, for the first time ever, that a person with the guts to do so, Donald Trump, has pressed the sleazes as far as he could and revealed the rottenness.

Given the ease with which US courts have been allowed to ignore calls for justice, the power of Big Tech and social media to erase Donald Trump, it would be only natural for American voters - who are not forced to vote - to give up a and stop fighting. That's how totalitarian regimes are born.

Further re above comment "Donald Trump has pressed the sleazes as hard as he could and revealed the rottenness": He would have largely worked out who may turn against him or make all sorts of excuses to avoid being in a confrontation themselves. Also, seems lately he has made appointments of people likely to strongly back him when possible to important positions of power. What happens regarding the proposed Biden inauguration - maybe as late as after everyone arrives for it depends on who supports Trump. Note is recognized he still has important Presidential powers until 12 noon local time on the 20th (AT LEAST!). I reckon watch developments closely

The Democrats and other Leftists might be admitting now that their corruption and Trump cancelling tactics are not as popular as they thought they were, given their panic about what could happen during the inauguration - planning for empty streets, the hoi polloi not allowed proximity etc.

It'll be interesting how Biden's Administration will deal with the 2000 Honduran migrants who are held up in Guatemala en-route to the US !
Any word as to what is planned for the border wall ?

*Yawn*
This wasn't when the SCOTUS was needed most. And you've shown no evidence that the SCOTUS had a responsibility to hear the case.

Trump lost the election, everything that initially appeared to be evidence of fraud turned out not to be, and IF there were procedural flaws then they do not justify overturning the election - democracy is too important (and the well established legal principle of estoppel exists to ensure that the outcome would remain consistent with justice).

So assuming the judges have common sense, the case would be of very little importance.

: Donald Trump has pressed the sleaze as far as he could and revealed his own rottenness.

FTFY!
