A misguided friend sent me a document supporting #45Regime allegations that he won reelection in November. Among the allegations is that in #Nevada "in an effort orchestrated by the Biden campaign, Native Americans appear to have traded their votes not for pieces of silver but

rather for Visa gift cards, jewelry, and other 'swag.'"

Here's the link to the Nevada Supreme Court's decision in response to the Biden delegates' request for the Court to expedite a squashing of the Trump delegates' attempts to forbid them from voting https://t.co/HVQzMDX8ya
I'm no lawyer, but this sounds to me like Mike Tyson pulverizing a boxer seconds after the bell of the 1st round is rung:

"The district court held not only that Contestants failed to prove each and every ground for contest asserted, but also that they failed to establish any
elements of these grounds, as a matter of fact or law, under any applicable burden of proof, let alone with the clear and convincing evidence required for an extraordinary judicial intervention into the democratic process. Indeed, despite the soundness of the district court’s
factual findings and legal conclusions, and the utter paucity of compelling evidence Contestants have amassed to support their implausible claims, Contestants press on with this appeal—a decision that can be considered frivolous in light of the thoroughness of their defeat and
the extraordinarily high bar they must satisfy to overturn the district court’s fact-bound determinations."

This article describes the district court decision the SC of Nevada affirmed.

Here's some excerpts regarding the alleged bribery
It seems that #45Regime supporters believe #voterfraud happens whenever non-white people vote.

This idea - that elections should translate into policy - is not wrong at all. But political science can help explain why it's not working this way. There are three main explanations: 1. mandates are constructed, not automatic, 2. party asymmetry, 3. partisan conpetition 1/


First, party/policy mandates from elections are far from self-executing in our system. Work on mandates from Dahl to Ellis and Kirk on the history of the mandate to mine on its role in post-Nixon politics, to Peterson Grossback and Stimson all emphasize that this link is... 2/

Created deliberately and isn't always persuasive. Others have to convinced that the election meant a particular thing for it to work in a legislative context. I theorized in the immediate period of after the 2020 election that this was part of why Repubs signed on to ...3/

Trump's demonstrably false fraud nonsense - it derailed an emerging mandate news cycle. Winners of elections get what they get - institutional control - but can't expect much beyond that unless the perception of an election mandate takes hold. And it didn't. 4/

Let's turn to the legislation element of this. There's just an asymmetry in terms of passing a relief bill. Republicans are presumably less motivated to get some kind of deal passed. Democrats are more likely to want to do *something.* 5/
