With a vanishing chance of success, the antics are even funny, easy fodder for Saturday Night Live. But like so many other episodes of the Trump era, we may be witnessing another democratic institution wither in the face of anti-democratic pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-text-color has-background has-vivid-purple-background-color has-vivid-purple-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If filing dozens of frivolous lawsuits to overturn an election doesn\u2019t lead to professional consequences, then what\u2019s to stop it from happening again?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-background has-vivid-purple-background-color has-vivid-purple-color is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus far, courts have unceremoniously rebuffed Republicans\u2019 fraud allegations, seeing through their failure to prove ballot-box-stuffing, voting machine manipulation, and various other accusations. \u201cAllegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings,\u201d a federal judge in Arizona wrote in tossing out an attempt to overturn the state\u2019s election results, adding that the claims are \u201csorely wanting of relevant or reliable evidence.\u201d In Michigan, a judge found Republican claims of fraud \u201cincorrect and not credible.\u201d In Nevada, a judge found that Trump electors seeking to overturn that state\u2019s results did not provide proof of fraud that met \u201cany standard of evidence.\u201d And yet, dozens of these irresponsible lawsuits have been filed across the country. Some could drag on for several more weeks, even after Monday\u2019s Electoral College voting makes Joe Biden\u2019s victory all but official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/2020-elections\/2020\/12\/trump-lawyers-ethics-sanctions\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.motherjones.com\/2020-elections\/2020\/12\/trump-lawyers-ethics-sanctions\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lire la Suite:<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ET comme les elections senatoriales ne sont pas tout a fait terminees(Georgia&#8230;.) une interview interessante.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?height=314&#038;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOcasioCortez%2Fvideos%2F322766995432711%2F&#038;show_text=true&#038;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"429\" style=\"border:none;overflow:hidden\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowFullScreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Little Gift:<br>Vous avez le choix: Georgia in my mind Ray Charles or Crying Time (R.
