According to John Droz Jr., a physicist and environmental advocate in Morehead City, North Carolina, in the 22 cases that were heard by the court and settled on the merits, Trump won a total of 15 cases with Republicans.
The results of the analysis do not necessarily indicate that if the results of these lawsuits are determined before Congress certifies Biden, former President Trump will be able to win this highly competitive election.
Also, because most of the regions where Trump won the lawsuits occurred in Colorado, Iowa, and other states with vastly different votes, the outcome of the lawsuit may not necessarily affect the electoral votes that Biden won in the disputed state.
But this means that if the court considers the case and fully adjudicates, the Trump camp has actually won two-thirds of the electoral litigation.
The report’s lead author, Droz and a team of volunteers tracked 81 lawsuits related to the 2020 U.S. presidential election by studying court documents and legal details. These demands are available on public electronic forms and were updated on February 6.
Of the 81 cases tracked by the team, 11 were withdrawn or merged and 23 were dismissed for lack of qualifications or other reasons. Droz said that neither of these two cases should be viewed as “the victory of either party” because “they have nothing to do with the case.”
Of the 47 remaining cases, 22 were finalized after the court heard arguments and considered the evidence.
In these 22 cases, Trump or Republicans have reportedly won 15 cases and lost 7 cases.
Furthermore, there are 25 lawsuits that have not yet received final judgments.
DeRoz said in a statement that this means that “if there are enough hearings and then a ruling based on the merits of the case,” Trump and the Republicans “have won the majority of the 2020 election demands.”
He added: “Does the media report that?”
According to this report, Republicans’ legal victories include:
The Republican National Congress (RNC) v. Miller, who was heard by an Iowa court where the RNC won a court order requesting an absentee vote.
In the case of RNC v. Gill, who was heard by the Iowa court, the Trump campaign won an injunction to prevent county officials from distributing and receiving signed forms containing pre-printed information.
The Trump v. Bokval was heard by the Pennsylvania court. In this case, the Trump campaign obtained a court order to prohibit the counting of mailed ballots and absentee ballots that provide proof of identity after Election Day.
Droz noted that there were three lawsuits related to inaccurate voting machines.
“One of them was rejected (because the court found lack of jurisdiction), another was declared lost (pre-trial disclosure was not approved) and one was still on trial (pre-trial disclosure was approved).”
(Annotation: pre-trial discovery (pre-trial discovery), in the laws of Anglo-American law countries, refers to a kind of pre-trial procedure in dispute. The parties use the inquiry, the request to produce documents, the request for recognition and collection of evidence, etc., for another party or parties. Parties obtain evidence.)
“There are so few cases, and the possible explanation is that legally proving voter fraud or tampering with the voting machine is a time-consuming process and requires a lot of investigative and document work. Before the key points of this process ( such as electoral college certification), there simply isn’t enough time to do this. “
Explaining the purpose of this report, Droz wrote: “Our view is that the public needs to be better informed about electoral integrity issues, and one of the keys is a more accurate understanding of the litigation.”
