So it’s illegal to ask for a recount now?

Friend of the blog Jonathan Turley has achieved some kind of hack singularity:

Turley aside – kind of lost in the "recount" discussion is the effort to *disqualify* votes. That was the play in Wisconsin. It wasn't about counting the ballots again, but about setting aside a big pile of Dem ballots in blue counties. https://t.co/BHW9yEcI5Q— David Weigel (@daveweigel) August 25, 2023

As with Greenwald, I actually think that Turley’s grift is more about attention than money. He would otherwise be ignored, but as long as he plays “eventheliberal perfesser willing to repeat talking points that would almost embarrass Sean Hannity” he can have as many cable hits as he wants.

As Campos put it in response to one of Turley’s earlier pro-sedition arguments:

Turley is a particularly despicable kind of academic snake: the kind that poses as some sort of disinterested party, soaring above it all, when in fact by supporting this outrageous and unprecedented refusal on a sitting president’s part to acknowledge that he’s lost an election that there’s absolutely no doubt that he lost, he’s just another of Donald Trump’s hatchet men, doing (I assume) for free what Trump’s various sleazy lawyers are doing for some money, or more realistically, the hope of some.
