The day of Trump’s ‘bruises’ in court

In just a few hours on December 4, Trump and his legal team repeatedly failed the court in an attempt to reverse the election results.

The legal attempt by President Donald Trump and his allies in just one day suffered six failures in many states, including Wisconsin and Minnesoto. This is the next failed milestone in a month when Trump vainly pursued a legal battle over election results. Among the federal and state judges who dismissed Trump’s lawsuit, some were appointed by the president himself.

One of the failures was the rejection of Trump’s lawsuit in the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where most justices appeared to be shocked by a conservative group’s attempt to cancel all state elections. without any conclusive evidence of fraud.

“The action that the plaintiffs demanded is the most surprising legal claim I have ever seen,” said Brian Hagedorn, a conservative judge. “The court’s approval of such shallow background claims will seriously damage all future elections.”

Judge Hagedorn argued that once a court ruled to open the judicial door to annul the presidential election based on such a requirement, it would be very difficult for them to close the door. “This is a dangerous path that the plaintiffs are asking us to follow,” he said.

Similarly, a judge in a county in the state of Arizona also denied on December 4 the lawsuit filed by Kelli Ward, president of the Republican Party of this state. “The court did not see any irregularities, fraud or any other effect affecting the results of the elections,” the court notice said. Ward promised to appeal the ruling.

Judge James Russell in Carson City, Nevada, also denied any complaints from Trump’s legal team, emphasizing that the evidence they presented was not convincing. Russell repeatedly claimed that Trump’s team of lawyers did not “provide any standard legal evidence” for his allegations.

“There is no real and plausible evidence that the 2020 elections in Nevada were affected by fraud,” Russell wrote in the ruling.

Jesse Binnall, Trump’s attorney leading the Nevada legal challenge, said “I do not agree with this ruling. The lawsuit and the evidence we presented was strong and convincing. We filed an appeal.” to the Nevada Supreme Court. “

One of the most prominent lawsuits of the Trump team is the Georgia lawsuit, led by controversial attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, which also stumbled.

The lawyer group’s appeal is aimed at strengthening a restraining order issued by a federal judge on Nov. 29 that prohibits any modifications to voting machines in three Georgia counties. However, the three-member jury of the 11th District Court of Appeals rejected the group’s appeal without hearing further arguments from the parties.

Judge Andrew Brasher, who was once nominated by Trump, said the appeal was a strategic mistake, as the lower court justices all but agreed to hold a hearing, it could only help Powell and Wood. Expert designation tests voting machines in some Georgia counties.

“The plaintiffs did not see this trial court sign as a response, but instead appealed. And because they appealed, the hearing was stopped and the lawsuit was significantly delayed.” Wrote Judge Brasher in an essay that included Judge Charles Wilson, nominated by President Bill Clinton, and Judge Robin Rosenbaum, nominated by President Barack Obama.

The judges did not completely dismiss Powell’s legal challenge, but having to “bypass” the appeals court wasted a week on Trump’s campaign, while they were able to examine the voting machine or trying to persuade the judge to “freeze.” more voting devices.

In Michigan, an appeals court has thrown out the Trump campaign’s attempt to block confirmation of the state’s election results. The justices said that even though Trump’s lawyers deliberately delayed the filing of the latest filing, the state was still proceeding to confirm the election results, making this legal effort even more difficult.

In Minnesota, where Biden had an easy victory over Trump, the state Supreme Court rejected Republican proposals for the statewide recount and criticized them for failing to provide evidence. complaints about election officials who raised in their presentation.

With the day “bruised” due to unfavorable court rulings, Trump has more difficulty in legal efforts to challenge his election. Meanwhile, the state of California also officially confirmed the election results on December 4, casting 55 electoral votes for Joe Biden, helping him surpass the 270 electoral votes required to be elected.
