State board certifies Joe Biden as winner in Minnesota

Minnesotas state canvassing board unanimously certified the state's election results Tuesday, an ordinarily routine task that drew closer attention due to President Donald Trump's efforts to delay it in key states.
Joe Biden defeated Trump in Minnesota by just over 233,000 votes, or about 7 percentage points, the board certified in a 5-0 vote with no debate. Biden therefore officially got the state's 10 electoral votes.

Shortly before the meeting, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected a petition by a handful of Republican lawmakers and candidates and several voters who sought a temporary restraining order to delay the canvassing boards vote, alleging a variety of problems with the election.
The order by Chief Justice Lorie Gildea said the plaintiffs provided no evidence that they had properly served it on all parties.

Earlier today, I would have said 50 court losses for Trump and his allies was not possible. But with the new lawsuits in MN and WI, they have a shot to get there.
They are currently at 36 losses, with another 8 cases not yet ruled upon.

Make that 37 - I believe the MN case just got tossed because of . . . failure to properly serve it!!
They are REALLY REALLY bad at this . . .
