2020 Election
The 2020 Presidential Election will be the polar opposite of 2016. In 2020 we see north of 20 Democrats candidates as we saw the same flood of Republican candidates in 2016. Donald Trump 'should' be the 2020 Republican nominee as the incumbent President, but, given the 'never Trumper' crowd in the Republican party, he received three challengers; Mark Sanford, William Weld and Joe Walsh. All three have suspended their campaigns due to poor early primary results. Below is the 2020 Democrat field, as it developed over the last year. Joe Biden is the only remaining active candidate for the Democrat nominations and leaves him as the presumptive 2020 Democrat Presidential nominee. Bernie Sanders suspended his campaign, but will leave his name on the ballot for remaining primaries to try and collect more delegates to help his negotiating power at the Democrat convention. Howard Schultz, a Democrat, announced his candidacy, but had problems with the leftward lean of the Democrat party & they with him. He decided (9/6/19) not to run as an Independent candidate. Others who were competing, but have suspended their campaigns include: Eric Swalwell (7/8/19) , John Hickenlooper (8/22/19), Jay Inslee (8/22/19), Seth Moulton (8/24/19), Kirsten Gillibrand (8/27/19), Bill DeBlasio (9/20/19), Tim Ryan (11/1/19), Beto O'Rourke (11/2/19), Wayne Messam (11/20/19), Steve Bullock (12/2/19), Kamala Harris (12/3/19), Joe Sestak (12/6/19), Julian Castro (1/2/20), Marianne Williamson (1/10/20), Cory Booker (1/13/20), John Delaney (1/31/20), Michael Bennet (2/11/20), Andrew Yang (2/11/20), Deval Patrick (2/12/20), Tom Steyer (2/29/20), Pete Buttigieg (3/1/20), Amy Klobuchar (3/2/20), Michael Bloomberg (3/4/20), Elizabeth Warren (3/5/20), Tulsi Gabbard (3/19/20), Bernie Sanders (4/8/20).

Here is what Gohmert's suit is trying to accomplish

12/29/20
from The Gray Area:
12/29/20:

According to Business & Politics Review, this is what Rep. Louis Gohmert's lawsuit is trying to accomplish.

At Issue is the Electoral Count Act, which establishes procedures for counting electoral votes in Congress after presidential elections.

The law was passed a decade after the widely disputed election of 1876, during which a number of states submitted competing sets of electors to a divided Congress.

Gohmert’s lawsuit claims that the act violates the 12th Amendment, which also instructs the president of the Senate...However, the amendment does not prescribe the manner in which ballots must be counted. In tossing out the federal law, Gohmert’s suit seeks to empower vice presidents under the 12th Amendment to count ballots as he or she sees fit

Just as in 1876, Republicans in several states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — have sent competing slates of electors to Congress..

“The 2020 presidential election was one we’d expect to see in a banana republic, not the United States of America,” Gohmert said in a statement. “This puts Vice President Mike Pence in a position where some argue he has to choose between morality and the law. That is not the case.

“It is also critical to note that as many formerly in the mainstream media, now the Alt-Left media, continue to say that every court has said there is no evidence of fraud. That is disingenuous, deceitful, and flat out dishonest. The truth is that no court so far has had the morality and courage to allow evidence of fraud to be introduced in front of it,” he added.
