Another Trump court loss

[kallend 2,027]

In Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Minnesota yesterday, judges in various courts tossed out Trump lawsuits.  Although the opinions and reasoning were often lengthy it all boils down to "without merit and no credible evidence".

 

Edited to add:  missed one.  There was also a loss in federal court in Georgia yesterday.

Their batting average is not very good.

I saw a report their team's record is now 1 and 46.

The truly sad part about this is that election officials take voter fraud pretty seriously.

And they take a great deal of pride in the fact that they conduct elections that are free & fair. 

All of Trump's claims (and those of the Trumpettes) have been shown to be false.
NONE of them have any proof.
Election officials are asking for proof, and are willing to undertake investigations of valid claims.

From the story I linked a few posts back:

 

Quote

"For weeks, President Trump and his surrogates have put out tweets and participated in press releases and other media appearances to perpetuate a phony narrative that widespread voter fraud plagued Nevada's elections. Yet to date, they've provided insufficient proof to support their claims in court, which explains why they keep losing. That said, and while my office is not involved in this lawsuit, I would like to reassure every Nevadan that we take any allegations of voter fraud seriously, and we prosecute where the evidence supports credible claims. In fact, my office is currently prosecuting a claim from the 2016 election," said Attorney General Aaron D. Ford.

"Because I take fraud claims seriously, I have personally requested that President Trump's team, including former Attorney General Adam Laxalt, file an official complaint and supporting evidence with my office. They have yet to send in a complaint that details and provides evidence for the allegations they have publicly been making. Absent such a complaint and supporting evidence, these claims of widespread voter fraud remain baseless and, moreover, are insulting to the countless of elections workers who have diligently overseen our elections."

"I would like to once again reiterate that no court has found persuasive the Trump Campaign's contentions of widespread voter fraud in Nevada and that our elections were fair and secure. This has been demonstrated time and time again and across numerous courts.

Seventy to eighty percent of republicans believe the election was stolen. Nothing has changed since any of these court rulings.

Hi Robert,

I seem to remember that the one win was in Pennsylvania where they wanted their observers closer to the vote counters.

I think the distance went from 10 ft to 6 ft.

Hi Joe,

Re:  'The truly sad part about this is that election officials take voter fraud pretty seriously.'

IMO the really sad part is all of the money that the Trumpers have donated to overturn the election that is going elsewhere. 

Hmmm, now wonder where that money is going?

Are you suggesting "follow the money" as a strategy?  What a novel idea.

I must be inherently heartless. Because I personally like that entire concept. Stupid and corrupted people who don't value the character of your constitution. Seeking to subvert it. Donating cash to crooks like trump and the current GOP. Are a match made in evangelical heaven.

Which is different from trump tenants swindled by trump rent/tax scams. Different from students of trump university who honestly thought they may learn something. Different from the investors and bankers that thought trump entered into bona fide contracts.

Hi Phil,

Re:  'I must be inherently heartless.'

Nah, it goes back to the old adage:  'A fool and his money are soon parted.'

Not a court loss, but a loss none the less.

Some Republicans still have a backbone.  You just can't find them in Congress.

Hi John,

From your link:  ' Trump said . . .  So far we haven’t been able to find the people in Georgia willing to do the right thing.'

Actually, I think the people of Georgia have and are doing the 'right thing.'

It is just that it continues to mean that Trump lost the election.

C'est la vie,

Hi Jerry,

I have a funny feeling that Trump's definition of 'the right thing' and your definition (not to mention mine and a whole lot of other people's) are not quite the same thing.

So much winning it's hard to keep score.

I wonder if Trump is sick and tired with all the winning, like he predicted.

The the PAC money he'll be personally using, he's winning more than most ever will.  Just not the election.

With 3 branches of government, it is scary that for 4 years now, only one of them is functional.

I don't know. But I'll surprised if they don't turf it this evening.
