Former Trump lawyer and conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell moved to dismiss a lawsuit filed against her by Dominion Voting Systems Monday, arguing her earlier claims that Dominion was involved in an orchestrated voter fraud effort were so outrageous that “reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact.”
So, this is funny.
I think she is trying to make a nuanced argument here - she was just asking questions…
But that is at odds with how she presented her ‘questions’ on various tv programs and radio shows.
I hope this does all go to court and goes through the discovery process to thoroughly examine whether Dominion played a role in voter fraud. If some say they have “proof”, it should be heard in a courtroom and either exposed as the truth…or a lie?
I don’t know what the accurate figure is. I saw one figure of upwards of 220 million. What I do know is there was an active programme to recruit those in the 18-29 age demographic to register and to vote.
There was a significant increase in that age demographic of those who voted in the 2018 midterms compared to the 2014 midterms. Given the recruitment drive to register voters in that demographic it is reasonable to extrapolate that the total number of people who voted in 2020 would be high in relative terms compared to 2016. Particularly, when taken into account that the turnout for Trump would be higher in 2020 compared to 2016.
