Maybe she meant Edison country. You know, where they grow all the light bulbs.
This hyar’s cattle country; Edison country’s over yonder hills.
thats classic misdirection - the real county name has been obfuscated to protect the evidence.
Sure, and if he had said in casual conversation that he had served with “the 305th”, in a context where it would be clear which particular unit he was referring to, that would be understandable. I’ve also heard people refer to better known units in a similar shorthand - if someone said they had served in “the 3rd Infantry”, I’d know they are referring to the 3rd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. But just referring to an obscure battalion that way? I’ve personally never encountered it. And in a legal document, an affidavit where you’re trying to establish your bona fides as a subject matter expert, using that kind of shorthand, which wouldn’t even be meaningful to most MI personnel (like me), much less to the civilians you’re supposedly writing for, is just weird.
Agreed. To quote myself from upthread:
Since Sidney Powell no longer represents Trump or his campaign, what standing does she have to file any election-related lawsuits on his behalf anymore?
You don’t need standing to file. You need standing to have your case heard beyond summary judgment against for lack of standing.
The goal is not to win any cases. The goal is to have media coverage about the act of filing cases. See here for more:
Evidence has feelings too, you know.
She is doing it out of the goodness of her heart, a volunteer being paid by a PAC or 2.
I think these lawsuits are being filed on behalf of voters who claim to have been scammed.
When you hear things like “Trump is 1-39 in lawsuits” he actually isn’t; neither he nor his campaign is the plaintiff in most of them.

You have been warned

A lawsuit needs a plaintiff. And the lawyer filing the lawsuit has to be the lawyer for the plaintiff. So, she has to at least allege she represents someone who has been harmed.
In the suit linked above at post #86, the plaintiffs are a list of names that I don’t recognize - presumably these are Trump voters in the state in question, as @RickJay suggested. I think ordinary voters would have standing if an election were manipulated.
You say that like it was a bad thing. I can wander through there for hours.
I believe this is correct. In the decision in Pennsylvania which was dismissed for lack of standing, the plaintiffs included two PA Trump voters who had voted by mail and had their ballots not counted for procedural deficiencies. I think mailed without the privacy envelopes or something. Some counties had put in place a ‘notify and cure’ system to allow voters to fix such procedural deficiencies, but the counties where the plaintiffs had voted had not. The judge noted that this was a real injury that would grant standing, if they’d sued the counties they were from. Instead they had sued those other counties that would have allowed them to fix their ballots had they voted there, demanding they throw out those votes.
From the judges tone, it didn’t sound like the plaintiffs had any real case even if they’d sued their own counties (state election law gives counties latitude to institute different procedures), just that they would have had standing.
Those election stickers must be from Philly: “Yo, Vote.”
Reminds me of my dad’s Smith-Corona manual. There was no “1” key: you used lower-case L for one, and if you needed an exclamation point, it was apostrophe-backspace-period. By which I mean that was supposed to be an exclamation point but they did not finish it.
The LegalEagle guy goes into some depth on this case, but yeah it was basically, “county X injured me, so I want counties Y, Z, A, B, C to injure a bunch of other people to make it even”.
If you squint real hard you can sort of see the idea of “equal treatment for all voters” glimmering in there somewhere amongst the muck of tortured logic.
Which if so may be a first for the R party this whole election season.
That’s how my mom’s old manual typewriter (c. 1939) worked, too. Don’t remember if it was Smith-Corona or not.
They all did.
But @eschereal’s joking point is that the voting sticker in the pic has just half an exclamation point. Like on an Olde Tyme TypeWritere.
uh, guys, isn’t that an accent? "yo voté is Spanish for I voted.
Yep, it is spanish.
