Georgia ballot inspection case dismissed after no fraud found.

Source: AJC

A judge dismissed a lawsuit Wednesday by Donald Trump supporters who sought to inspect absentee ballots from last year’s presidential election, a decision that came a day after Georgia investigators told the court they were unable to find any counterfeit ballots.

Superior Court Judge Brian Amero’s ruling ended the last remaining major lawsuit over Georgia’s 2020 election and prevented an outside review of Fulton County’s 147,000 original absentee ballots.

The judge’s order is the latest in a series of decisions against supporters of the former Republican president who have asked the courts to help them pursue suspicions of fraud or reverse the results of the election.

State election officials have said there’s no indication of fraud after three ballot counts and multiple investigations. Democrat Joe Biden defeated Trump in Georgia’s presidential election by about 12,000 votes.

until we show them how to stop elections from being stolen. They always blame it on Democrats hacking
the voting machines, simple throw 'em in the scrap iron like dejoy did the letter sorting machines.
Go mail-out & mail-in paper ballots only, problem solved.

And this part-

Superior Court Judge Brian Amero’s ruling ended the last remaining major lawsuit over Georgia’s 2020 election


I expect they'll find something else to file a lawsuit against and trying to keep this going for the next 4 years.

They shouldn't be able to file these baseless, harassing lawsuits without significant penalty, or they will never end.

17. Judges ruling was based on "standing", not lack of evidence.

As I said on another post, I HATE decisions like that because now the trumpers will all scream "technicality!". Yes, the judge says he reviewed the "evidence" and saw no fraud, but that wasnt his decision.
He should have let the case move forward & then ruled against them based on their shitty claims. And maybe charged them with lying to the court
