. . . . “In the United States, we allow the jury to hear all the evidence, and that’s what’s happening right now,” he added. “Don’t rush to judgment. It’s important, especially given the fact that so many tens of millions of Americans feel right now disenfranchised.”
“So let’s get the facts in, allow this litigation to run its course just as in
Bush v. Gore, it ran for 37 days,” Starr continued.
The fight over the 2000 presidential election in Florida went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and ended when the high court ruled that
George W. Bush defeated then-Vice President
Al Gore in the state by just 537 votes out of nearly 6 million cast, which was enough to award Bush all of Florida’s electoral votes, sending him to the White House.
Wallace asked Starr, “What is the best single case that you think the Trump legal team has out there and … would it switch enough votes in that one state to overturn the vote count and the electoral vote in that state?”
In response, Starr pointed to
Michigan, saying if the lawsuit there is meritorious it “would change over 1 million votes,” adding that the same thing would happen in
Georgia.
He noted that “Georgia itself has a
state audit underway.”
Starr then cited those two states, as well as the
allegations in Pennsylvania and the reported Friday
ruling by a California judge that
Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order requiring vote-by-mail ballots sent to all registered voters, as reasons why the results of the 2020 election should be checked. . . .
