Wow… I’ve only just started listening to the hearing video, and right from the start… the GOP lawyer evidently made multiple attempts to contact the judge directly with text messages and phone calls, at a personal contact number, ahead of the hearing. He takes pains to make it clear that he did not read or listen to any of that because it’d be ex parte communications.
Pennsylvania absentee ballot challenge for an American living abroad, right on the eve of the election… challenge submitted by a State Senator, with a zoom meeting hearing for this person and over 500 others scheduled for the 8th.
