Hearings don’t involve juries. Yes a judge can toss anything, theoretically. Only one the case “goes to Court” and a jury is chosen, and proceedings begin, do juries join in. Even then, pleas and back room deals lock out juries.
Since most of these cases are not criminal, civil cases often hinge on a judge or arbiter ruling on a law interpretation. Jury cases are rare.
Juries don’t decide issues like this. Constitutional matters go before judges, as do request for “equitable relief” such as decertifying an election. No jury would ever hear this sort of case. A win or loss will come from a judge or panel of judges.

Well, the judge just dismissed today's Georgia fraud case. Would the next steps be appellate, and then after that SCOTUS?
If so, when would the case be heard by SCOTUS?
I'm getting demoralized.
