“The court does not have the power to deprive a single person of the right to vote, much less the right to vote of millions of citizens,” writes US District Judge Matthew Brann, reports ABC News.
This is the most notable case to date that the president and his lawyers have tried to prosecute in court since the November 3 presidential election. During the trial, two of Donald Trump’s attorneys dropped the case and the president’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, appeared and pursued the case during court proceedings earlier this week.
Giuliani argued that false and technically incorrect postal votes had been counted in constituencies won by challenger Joe Biden, and therefore Pennsylvania should not approve of Biden’s victory.
The argument is rejected by District Judge Matthew Brann, who believes there is no compelling evidence of widespread voter fraud that can justify overthrowing the entire election result. In Pennsylvania, Biden’s lead is nearly 81,000 votes.
“One would expect that when one tries to obtain such an astonishing court ruling, the plaintiff arrives formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and hard evidence of widespread corruption. That is not the case,” wrote Brann, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama. .
Brann even goes so far as to call the mood the Frankenstein monster. He writes that the Trump campaign’s claims are woven together at random and that they are trying to mix and match statements in an attempt to circumvent a judicial precedent, which has already rejected many of the campaign’s arguments.
It is so far the 29th lawsuit that the Trump campaign has lost in court, or that they have withdrawn themselves, where they have tried to delay or stop the election result, reports CNN.
Following the announcement, Trump wrote on Twitter that the decision will be appealed. He also criticized Brann, claiming that the judge never allowed the Trump campaign to present its case correctly. The president also writes that 900,000 false votes were cast in the elections. Since then, the platform has flagged the content after the allegation of electoral fraud has no evidence.
I Michigan wrong On Saturday, state Republicans in a letter to authorities postponed approval of state election results for two weeks to allow an examination of ballots in Wayne County, which includes Detroit with a large black population. . Biden leads with about 155,000 votes in the state.
However, the Republicans’ attempt to delay the election result seems risky. A spokesman for the Michigan Elections Department says state law does not allow revisions until the ballots have been passed, which will happen on Monday, the Reuters news agency reports.
