About the Trump lawsuits...

I keep seeing that Trump "won" just one of those.

How did he win and on what grounds?

And please, keep the legalese jargon to a minimum, I don't understand a lot of it.

1. The court allowed poll watchers to stand within 6 ft of the people reviewing the

ballots in Philadelphia. (I think this is the one).

3. That is not the one he won...that was later appealed successfully. The one he won was

reducing the later than election day votes from 9 days to 6 days.

Pa. appellate court sides with Trump in fight over ID deadlines for voters, tossing small number of ballots

A Pennsylvania appellate court handed President Donald Trump’s campaign a minor victory Thursday, barring counties from including in their final vote tallies a small pool of mail ballots from people who had failed to provide required ID by a Monday deadline.

In a two-page order, a Commonwealth Court judge struck down a decision by the Wolf administration to give voters more time, postelection, to fulfill the ID requirement.

State law requires all voters who applied to vote by mail to have their identification validated against state records by Nov. 9. However, just before the election, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar pushed that date back by three days, citing a court decision earlier this year that allowed late-arriving mail ballots to be counted as long as they had been mailed by Nov. 3 and received within three days of that date.

In her order Thursday, Commonwealth Court President Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled that Boockvar had no authority to do that.

7. Thanks, that's what I was wondering.

So this really minor ruling is supposed to be "better" than the 49 other times Trump LOST.

Figures with Trump and his legal flacks.

8. Trump legal team's "legal theory" is "an absurdity."
