The Washington Post has taken a look at some of the Trump campaign’s multiple failed efforts to get votes tossed out in several swing states, and one particularly egregious failure came in the state of Michigan, where the campaign’s evidence amounted to a piece of hearsay that had been scribbled onto a post-it note.

Specifically, Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens of the Michigan First District Court of Appeals last week rejected the Trump campaign’s efforts to halt the counting of absentee ballots in the state based on hearsay from a GOP election observer.

“In that case, a Republican election observer said she’d been given a sticky note by an unnamed poll worker, alleging that late-arriving ballots were being counted improperly,” the Post reports. “But she couldn’t provide the poll worker’s name or any other proof.”

Their argument: GOP observers had been barred from the rooms where the votes were being counted.

Republican observers were there, after all. Trump had “a nonzero number of people in the room,” one of his attorneys conceded in federal court Thursday evening.

“I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” asked U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond, who denied the request to halt the count.

5. Was said Rethuglican election observer under oath?

Gawd, I hope so. That smacks of lying under oath. Judges usually take a really dim view of that. Just saying.

8. From Michigan on Nov. 5:

The only problems with trump’s suit, according to the judge, is that it was based on hearsay, brought the wrong party to court, couldn’t give the names of any of the ppl or locations they said broke the law and the relief sought is unavailable because the counting is over.
