Absolutely insane, in every way. But especially the request to block certification "pending an investigation to determine whether votes cast for Daniel J. Sullivan were meant to be cast for Senator Sullivan." Just think about that. It's not possible.

Major media aren’t warning the public that Republicans are in the process of establishing a dictatorship. Is it because the media don't think it’s really happening? No. It’s because they *do* think it’s happening and fear being in the crosshairs of the dictator.
