Where can you introduce new evidence? To SCOTUS? Because so far none of the courts have ruled in our favor with the existing evidence. We need to be able to introduce even more to make it a guarantee for the courts to side with us. Idk how it works, though
If you introduce new evidence that fundamentally changes your argument, you would need to file a new case and have the lower courts make a decision with this new evidence taken into account.
Remember: you’re appealing that the lower courts did not make the right decision given the facts available at the time. You can’t go to the Supreme Court with new evidence because they will say: “the lower courts did not have this evidence to consider, so maybe they would have ruled differently with this new info”. Then they’ll send the case back down.
so then how does Trump plan to have SCOTUS rule differently? Does the legal team really have the confidence that every lower court made the same mistake and SCOTUS will change that?
As someone else pointed out to me on this site: none of Trump’s lawsuits have alleged actual fraud. I was shocked to learn this, but it looks like that’s why they keep getting tossed out. How can you ask for votes to be thrown out without alleging fraud?
Honestly, I’ve kept my opinion to myself because I don’t want to be a doomer, but I think his legal team is failing him.
I mean maybe there’s an ace up their sleeve but if this is true, the outlook ain’t good
