So I keep seeing libs smugly claiming that Trump's team lost more than 60 court challenges in the states. I alsokeep seeing Trump supporters claiming that the Trump team's claims and evidence were never actually allowed to be heard.
What happened there? Does anybody have a serious, factual answer?
“There has been no injury (electors certified), you have to sue once there is injury. Dismissed!”
“You have already received injury, so there’s no point anymore. Dismissed!”
“If those the signatures did not match, you have to prove it’s fraud (you have 2 days to call everyone and have them admit they committed fraud). Dismissed!”
“Yes the counties changed their election laws but not enough for us to call them unconstitutional. Dismissed!”
Thank you. So let's see if I've got this right:
You can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities until after the election is certified. (At that point, you would presumably need to address the issue via impeachment, etc.)
You also can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities after the election is over because it's too late to undo the crimes you're alleging.
You also can't sue in state court to address voting irregularities unless the judge can demand an unreasonable burden of proof, under the principle of "innocent until proven guilty unless you aren't a democrat".
You can sue in state court to address voting irregularities, but you can't win unless you can prove "widespread" voting fraud which everyone knows doesn't exist (unless Trump won in which case Russia did it.)
Who let Joseph Heller write our state election laws?
The cases were thrown out by deep state judges.
All being slow played on purpose, courts are hiding.
Evidence was never allowed to be heard. Cases were dismissed on issues of "standing" not on issues of actual merit.
Plus, many of those cases were not filed by Trump's actual campaign team. Most were filed by private citizens.
More fake news.
I’d like to see what other pedes have to say too... maybe all 60 courts actually threw out their cases after all
Every case was thrown out on procedural grounds (lack of "standing"). there was not a single case where evidence was allowed to be presented, outside I think there was one in Nevada.
False. Evidence was shown in Arizona. 11% of mail in ballots could not verify signatures. But the judge demanded Trumps campaign contact everyone and have they admit they committed fraud to count.
So it would seem that it is in fact impossible to address voting irregularities in the state courts, then; the judge will simply disallow any case to be heard. Giuliani, Wood and Powell were all incompetent and didn't know that, and didn't try anything different at any point once the "standing" issue proved to be devastating. And all those wonderful judges that we were so happy were being appointed did nothing to help.
This doesn't make sense to me.
Trump's team only filed a small handful of cases, some of which are still pending before SCOTUS. There a lot of different people filing lawsuits, including democrats and one guy who just didn't like how a referendum on marijuana came out (he won).
