Trump has had more than 30 defunct election-related lawsuits in 30 days. Here's where things stand.​

After more than 30 defunct lawsuits in 30 days, attempts by President Trump and his backers to overturn the election of Joe Biden as the next president have failed in court — sometimes repeatedly, with judges gutting claims and shutting down all possible legal avenues to interfere with the Electoral College.

The President's effort isn't stopping, with more lawsuits and appeals getting filed almost daily and more than $170 million raised in response to pleas for cash from Trump.

But officials across the country confirmed that the 2020 vote was secure. Biden's victories have already been certified in six of the most closely contested states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. His wide Electoral College win over Trump is secured, and will be formalized this month.

Judges have rejected Trump's attempts so thoroughly over the past few weeks, they've shut down the cases on nearly every question they're asked.

One federal judge in Pennsylvania, Matthew Brann, wrote he couldn't do what the Trump campaign and Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani wanted because it would be unconstitutional. A judge in Michigan, Timothy Kenny, explained point by point why witness statements suspecting fraud fell short.

A judge on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court wrote in a concurring opinion last weekend, which denied a Republican attempt to throw out millions of absentee votes in the state, that the court shouldn't "lend legitimacy to such transparent and untimely efforts to subvert the will of Pennsylvania voters."

And yet, Trump's dreams linger in court. Ongoing cases still look to push false narratives of fraud — often built on their disbelief of Biden support in heavily Democratic cities and unhappiness with absentee voting.

Here's a look at the lawsuits the Trump campaign and allies have won and lost:

Pro-Trump legal crusade peppered with bizarre blunders​

Spelling errors, misplaced states and client mix-ups are the main results so far of Sidney Powell's legal efforts to overturn the election.

Sidney Powell released the Kraken. And it turns out the mythological sea beast can't spell, is terrible at geography and keeps mislabeling plaintiffs in court.

A congressional candidate Powell claimed to represent in one lawsuit said that, in fact, he had nothing to do with Powell or her quixotic effort, which she dubbed “the Kraken,” arguing the election was stolen from President Donald Trump. An expert witness cited in another suit named a nonexistent county in Michigan. A Wisconsin lawsuit sought data on alleged irregularities at a voting center in Detroit, which is in Michigan. And a filing in federal district court signed by Powell misspelled “district” twice in the first few lines.

Federal judges rule against lawsuit to overturn Michigan election results​

From CNN's Annie Grayer

A federal court in Michigan threw out the latest lawsuit seeking to overturn election results in the state, this time shutting down efforts led by Sidney Powell, a former Trump advisor who was disavowed by the campaign.

The judges determined that the lawsuit was full of “nothing but speculation and conjecture” and that Powell and her clients’ goal of forcing the state’s electors to vote for Trump even though Joe Biden won the state, was not only impossible since the state has already certified its results, it was also meant to disenfranchise voters.

“They seek relief that is stunning in its scope and breathtaking in its reach” the judges wrote. “Plaintiffs ask this Court to ignore the orderly statutory scheme established to challenge elections and to ignore the will of millions of voters. This, the Court cannot, and will not, do. The People have spoken.”

The court went as far as to argue that the plaintiffs were less interested in actually achieving their relief and more focused on “the impact of their allegations on People’s faith in the democratic process and their trust in our government.”

Led by Powell, plaintiffs in this case relied on recycled allegations, many of which were made by Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and the witnesses he brought forward to testify in front of the Michigan House Oversight Committee last week. For example, plaintiffs in the case alleged that the ballot tabulating software used in the November election mirrored a coordinated “criminal conspiracy” used to manipulate Venezuelan elections in favor of the late Hugo Chávez.

The Michigan ruling is the latest defeat in a weeks-long effort by the Trump campaign or Trump allies seeking to overturn election results across the country.

To date, the Trump campaign and Trump allies have won one case in Pennsylvania concerning absentee voters and have lost or withdrawn about 40 cases.

Federal judge dismisses latest election challenge in Georgia​

From CNN's Kevin Conlon

A federal judge in Georgia dismissed two motions on Monday morning brought by attorney Sidney Powell aimed at reversing the election results in that state.
“The plaintiffs do not have standing to bring these claims,” Judge Timothy Batten ruled from the bench immediately following about an hour of arguments.

Judge Batten also dissolved the temporary restraining order that stopped election officials from clearing the latest election data from Dominion voting machines in Cobb, Gwinnett and Cherokee Counties. Election officials in Georgia have said the machines will be needed for early voting that starts in the Senate runoff election in two weeks.

Batten further said that the plaintiffs waited too long to take such action. “This suit could have been brought months ago before the election, at the time the machines were adopted. The relief they seek, this court cannot grant.”

Finally, Batten called the relief Powell was seeking “the most extraordinary relief ever sought in any federal court,” as it pertains to elections. “They want to substitute the judgement of this court for that of two and a half million Georgia voters who voted for Joe Biden. This I am unwilling to do.”

Trump campaign legal efforts may be coming to an end, sources say​

From CNN's Kaitlan Collins

Despite what President Trump has said publicly, there is a sense developing within his legal team and what remains of his campaign staff that their efforts to overturn or delay the results of the election are coming to an end, multiple sources tell CNN.

Trump said in a 46-minute video released last week that they would continue to file lawsuits, but his legal team has held fewer meetings and strategy calls in the last several days.

Following Rudy Giuliani's hospitalization, staffers only speculated further that it’s a matter of time before their legal efforts come to a halt completely. Giuliani is currently expected to appear via Zoom in front of a hearing with Georgia House delegates Thursday, though whether he ultimately does will depend on his condition, a source said.

Officials are also aware they are rapidly approaching deadlines that will certify results of the election and final rulings in some of their legal challenges.
Some campaign staff had their contract extended through the end of the year, but decisions do not appear to have been made beyond that, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.
 
现在有进展的是

1. PA共和党人 Kelly 等上诉到最高院的 case. 要求认定邮寄选票从根本上违反州宪法。
2. 某个川粉在 MI 要求检查22个Dominion 投票机。

其余皆凉凉了。
 
俩大海怪 lawsuits 都凉了,Georgia 又 recertify 完成了。
话说 “大海怪” 真的不是在自黑和黑朱大律师吗?一个双下巴且表情狰狞,一个秃 (往下流染发剂的那种)

Although all 50 states have certified their election results and the Supreme Court swiftly rejected an emergency request from Pennsylvania Republicans to block election results in the commonwealth, the justices are now grappling with a new controversial bid from Texas, supported by President Donald Trump and 17 other Republican-led states.

They are asking the Supreme Court for an emergency order to invalidate the ballots of millions of voters in four battleground states -- Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania -- even though there is no evidence of widespread fraud.
