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?

  1. “There has been no injury (electors certified), you have to sue once there is injury. Dismissed!”

  2. “You have already received injury, so there’s no point anymore. Dismissed!”

  3. “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!”

  4. “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:

  1. 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.)

  2. 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.

  3. 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".

  4. 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?
