Judge John Bridges has clarified his earlier rulings from the bench and affirmed that the trial from the state Republican Party can proceed.
It remains to be seen which standard the Republicans will have to use to prove that the election results are invalid. The Democrats say that each false vote must be matched with a voter. Republicans counter that they can use statistics or just that enough bad votes were cast to make the result unclear. More confusing? Each side has state Supreme Court precedence on to back it up.

My take: I can't imagine that we would throw out a certified election because of statistics or just on the probability that the results were improper. Why don't we just sample each precinct, then, and just elect whoever polls better based on a sample? Each vote counts. If it was an illegal vote, prove it. It should be hard to prove; it should require evidence.

As Twain said, there are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics. The standard must be higher than simply looking at probabilities and statistics. Proof has to be provided. Stats can be manipulated. What probably should be and what is are two different ideas entirely. No evidence equals no reversal.
Twain also said that Jim was a mighty good n----- but white inside.
Twain is also dead. Huzzah
Twain was also not a fan of the words "very" or "really." He said to write "damn" instead of "very" in all of your writing. That way, the editor would delete it and the writing would be exactly as it was supposed to be.
P.S. Loganite, this blog is damn good.
P.P.S. Please don't delete this. Since you're a fan of the First Amendment, I have faith that you will not squash this little piece of free expression, even if the language is slightly naughty.
Twain is dead. Huzza. I am sure that he is rolling over in his grave right now (metaphorically speaking) with your idiotic comment about him saying the d--- word. Twain was a clean cut, home grown, farmed from the ground up, rednecked, intelligent, brilliant, smart, wonderful, happy, radiant, beautiful, hot fellow. The majesty of his use of words in his novels denounced cursing and showed that a novel did not have to use swearing to be a classic.
