Trump mounts another legal challenge to election, asking Georgia for a do-over
Source: ABC News
President Donald Trump filed a new lawsuit in Georgia Friday afternoon officially contesting the results of the election and requesting a do-over -- another in a series of long-shot legal bids that have so far met with stiff resistance from the state's Republican election officials.
This latest suit alleges that the state's election code was "disregarded, abandoned, ignored, altered, and otherwise violated," thereby allowing "a sufficient number of illegal votes to be included."
The Trump campaign and its allies have filed similar lawsuits around the country more than 46 times, and have yet to gain traction. On the same day the campaign submitted the new Georgia suit, pro-Trump legal efforts met with defeat in Michigan and Nevada.
A Nevada judge ruled pointedly that the Trump team "failed to meet their burden to provide credible and relevant evidence ... to contest the November 3, 2020 General Election."

Here were talking about six contested states, all of which have certified for Biden, and Trump would need to win in several of them to overturn the results of the election.
Not gonna happen.

(32,017 posts)I almost feel bad for the people who are enriching Trump, uselessly, at this moment in time, but my sympathy is limited right now. Theyre being fleeced, and I can not help them. Stupid is as stupid does.

I know that they are completely taken in for the cult/cause now and NO REFUNDS. If the scam ever becomes clear to any of them, well, that's another story.

(7,879 posts)and any court should treat it as such.
But Trump says: I don't like the results, please do a re-run until you get it right!
And he is the President, so you better do what you are told! /sarcasm
Now that approach is either trivial, ridiculous, or just plain crazy!
Or designed to keep up the hopes of the Demented Ones, so contributions keep flowing in.
Probably this.

(76,591 posts)The organization owes about $7 billion, he personally owes $600 million & some of the corporate lending includes a limited personal backing.
Of course, he had to have lied to those lenders about the value of his personal assets.
He would need more than $2 billion to get completely clear. And the organization still owes billions!
He ain't gonna make it!!!

(37,481 posts)This litigation is totally frivolous, without merit and harassing. Any legitimate state bar would see this immediately and take action. THIS is why the public does not have a great opinion of lawyers.
