BREAKING! Trump Case “Likelihood to Succeed” After Judge Grants State Legislators Power to Choose Electors!
One of the biggest bits of news comes out of Pennsylvania after the public hearing that was held last week in the state by some of the Trump legal team including Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis.
A Pennsylvania Judge, Patricia McCullough, filed a Memorandum of Opinion late last week stating that the Election Certification injunction that was issued by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was indeed property issued and will stand.
McCullough said, “Additionally, petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed.”
On Saturday morning, Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano tweeted,
“There is mounting evidence that the PA presidential election was compromised. If this is the case, under Article II, Section 1.2 of the US Constitution, the state legislature has the sole authority to direct the manner of selecting delegates to the Electoral College.”
“This power was given to the state legislature for the purpose of safeguarding the appointment of our President, specifically contemplating corruption and ensuring that the people are not disenfranchised through a corrupt election process.”
“Therefore, we are introducing a Resolution to exercise our obligation and authority to appoint delegates to the Electoral College.”

In the Memorandum Opinion, Judge McCullough wrote, “Additionally, Petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because Petitioners have asserted theConstitution does not provide a mechanism for the legislature to allow for expansion of absentee voting without a constitutional amendment. Petitioners appear to have a viable claim that the mail-in ballot procedures set forth in Act 77 contravene Pa. Const. Article VII Section 14 as the plain language of that constitutional provision is at odds with the mail-in provisions of Act 77. Since this presents an issue of law which has already been thoroughly briefed by the parties, this Court can state that Petitioners have a likelihood of success on the merits of its Pennsylvania Constitutional claim.”
This is starting to look really good in the case against Pennsylvania. Let’s hope that it continues.
There is also the fact that it looks like this is going to the Supreme Court as well since the last appeals court rejected their case. Because this is so unprecedented, I can’t imagine them not taking up this case.
