Mikey now says that his case is going before the Supremes after Thanksgiving. Except now the claim is that they will vote 9-0 to look at his evidence, not 9-0 to overturn the election.

Mikey is still examining those packets.

I assure you that Lindell’s methodology is _most_ rigorous: > [@](#): > > So we met with these guys, and we show[ed] them that it happened in their state; you get to Missouri, they go, ‘Oh, it didn’t happen here.’ Alabama, ‘Oh it didn’t happen here,’ and then you show them a county, and you show them the evidence of that county, then you go canvass.

Unfortunately here in in Arizona it was the state senate – specifically the Republicans, who then went and hired the [Cyber Ninjas](https://www.ninjamas.co/for-kids/). Besides, what was Lindell trying to prove? Idaho’s four EC votes went to Trump already, having carried the state nearly 2:1. Did he figure _more_ Trump votes would help against all those states that went Biden’s way? If the presidential election was given to the winner of the popular vote, Trump wouldn’t have won in 2016. ---
