A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Saturday dismissed a lawsuit by President Donald Trump’s campaign that sought to block that state’s certification of millions of voters, which is expected to confirm a win for President-elect Joe Biden there.
The judge’s scathing decision is a crippling blow to Trump’s already extremely long-shot bid to invalidate enough ballots in enough states to reverse the former Democratic vice president Biden’s victory in the national presidential election, whose outcome is determined by the Electoral College.
The Trump campaign and its allies now have lost or withdrawn more than 30 lawsuits that were part of that effort.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann, in his written decision, said that the campaign’s lawyers, led by Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, failed to present “compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption” in their unprecedented bid to invalidate millions of ballots.
“Instead, this Court has been presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations, unpled in the operative complaint and unsupported by the evidence,” Brann fumed.
“In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more.”
At one point, the judge compared the lawsuit’s claim that voters had been denied equal protection in how their ballots were handled to “Frankenstein’s Monster,” since that claim was “haphazardly stitched together” from two different theories in an effort to avoid having them separately dismissed because of legal precedent.
Brann’s ruling, which was issued two days before Pennsyvalnia’s counties are due to ceritify their election results to Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, made moot the question of whether he would bother to hold an evidentiary hearing in the case.
The Trump campaign had claimed that voters in Pennsylvania were denied their constitutional right to equal protection under the law by the fact that some counties in the state, but not all, permitted voters who had mailed in their ballots to “cure” problems with those ballots by casting a provisional ballot.
The former New York City mayor Giuliani and Jenna Ellis, the Trump campaign’s other top lawyer, said they would seek an expedited appeal of Brann’s decision at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.
They also said they believed his ruling would “help us in our strategy” to get their claims heard by the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we’re thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock,” Giuliani and Ellis said in a statement.
It was Ellis who on Tuesday, after Giuliani’s performance in court was criticized by a number of legal analysts, tweeted: “You media morons are all laughing at @RudyGiuliani, but he appears to have already established a great rapport with the judge, who is currently offering recommendations on martini bars for Team Trump in open court.”
Brann was nominated to his seat by President Barack Obama in 2012. But before that he was for years a Republican Party official in the Keystone State, and was unanimously confirmed by the U.S. Senate’s Republican and Democratic and independent members.
Biden campaign spokesman Michael Gwin said, “Yet another court has rejected Trump and Giuliani’s baseless claims of voter fraud and their appalling assault on our democracy.”
“The judge’s ruling couldn’t be clearer: our people, laws, and institutions demand more — and our country will not tolerate Trump’s attempt to reverse the results of an election that he decisively lost,” Gwin said.
U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in a statement called Brann a “longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair an unbiased jurist.”
Toomey said that Brann’s ruling, along with “a series of procedural losses” for Trump’s campaign and allies in other courts, “confirm that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and will become the 46th President of the United States.”
“With today’s decision,” Toomey said, “President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania.”
“I congratulate President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris on their victory. They are both dedicated public servants and I will be praying for them and for our country.”

Michigan lawmakers deny meeting with Trump will change election outcome
Brann’s ruling came four days after Giuliani, arguing in a courtroom for the first time in decades, claimed without evidence that the Republican president had been the victim of “widespread national voter fraud.”
Mark Aronchick, an attorney for some of the county election boards whose voting processes were being questioned in the lawsuit, accused Giuliani of talking about “some fantasy world.”
“This just is disgraceful!” Aronchick said of Giuliani’s arguments during the hearing.
Brann seemed to say as much in his ruling.
“Plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters,” the judge noted.
“This Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated,” Brann wrote.
“One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens.
“That has not happened,” Brann wrote.
Biden is currently projected to win 306 votes in the Electoral College, three dozen more than he needs to clinch a win in the White House race.
Trump has refused to concede the contest as he, Giuliani and other Trump surrogates falsely claim he won the election.
At stake in the lawsuit decided Saturday were Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes, which Biden is set to receive after winning 50% of the popular vote, compared to 48.8% for Trump. Biden holds a more than 80,000-vote margin over Trump in the current ballot count.
The court ruling came a day after Georgia certified its election results, which show a win for Biden there after a hand recount of ballots.
It also came a day after the Republican speaker of the Michigan state house and the GOP majority leader of that state’s Senate said that Biden’s victory in their own state appears legitimate.
The joint statement by Speaker Lee Chatfield and Majority Leader Mike Shirkey came after they visited the White House at Trump’s invitation, and where the president was expected to pressure them to take steps in the legislature to overturn the outcome of Michigan’s election, and approve a slate of electors who would vote for Trump in the Electoral College.
“We have not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan and as legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan’s electors, just as we have said throughout this election,” the Michigan lawmakers said in a statement.
“Michigan’s certification process should be a deliberate process free from threats and intimidation,” the statement said.
“The candidates who win the most votes win elections and Michigan’s electoral votes. These are simple truths that should provide confidence in our elections.”

President Donald Trump on Saturday did not participate in a virtual G-20 session on global response efforts to the coronavirus and improved pandemic preparedness, even as Covid-19 cases surge and break daily records in the U.S.
Major leaders among the world’s 20 largest economies delivered video messages for the virtual session on pandemic preparedness, including the leaders of Saudi Arabia, France, Germany, Italy and South Korea. Trump did not deliver a message for the event, and there did not appear to be any American presence in the session.
Trump participated in the opening ceremonies of the virtual summit hosted by Saudi Arabia with the rest of the G-20 leaders. The president later went to his golf course, Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, where he’s spent the last several weekends since losing the presidential election.
The White House, in a statement released later Saturday, said Trump discussed with world leaders the need to restore economic growth and jobs as the world battles the coronavirus, and reaffirmed the importance of the G-20 for future prosperity.
Statement from the Press Secretary
President Donald J. Trump participated in the first day of the virtual G20 Leaders Summit on November 21, 2020. President Trump discussed with other world leaders the need to work together to restore strong economic growth and jobs as we overcome the COVID-19 pandemic. During his remarks, President Trump highlighted how the United States marshaled every resource at its disposal to respond to the crisis, as well as the unprecedented economic recovery of the United States on a foundation of tax and regulatory cuts, energy independence, and fair trade deals. He spoke about the aggressive actions and safety measures the United States took to protect the vulnerable, pioneer groundbreaking treatments, and develop vaccines and therapies at record-setting speed, which will save millions of lives. President Trump also reaffirmed the importance of the G20 working together for future economic growth and prosperity.
It was not clear for most of the week if Trump would participate in the final G-20 summit before he leaves office. The president isn’t scheduled to appear again at the G-20 until Sunday morning.
More than 57 million people have been infected and more than 1.3 million have died of the virus worldwide during the pandemic as global leaders struggle to produce a coordinated response.

Several G-20 leaders called for an equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines and for strengthening the World Health Organization, the agency taking the lead in battling the pandemic and coordinating how to distribute vaccines worldwide.
The Trump administration this summer announced its withdrawal from the WHO and opted out of the agency’s plan to distribute a vaccine known as COVAX.
French President Emmanuel Macron urged international cooperation on providing a vaccine for everyone and building a system that allows the first doses of the vaccine to be directed toward the least developed countries. German Chancellor Angela Merkel called for better funding.
“To defeat the pandemic, every nation needs to have access to and be able to afford the vaccine,” Merkel said at the event. “We need reliable funding, better cooperation, greater independence.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin told leaders that Russia is prepared to distribute its Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine to other countries and is working on a second and third vaccine.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said that China is prepared to ramp up global vaccine development and distribution. China currently has five vaccine candidates undergoing Phase III trials.
Trump, who lost the Nov. 3 election but did not concede, hasn’t attended a White House coronavirus task force meeting in several months and hasn’t answered questions from the press about the pandemic.
The U.S. broke another daily record for new Covid-19 cases on Friday, with more than 195,500 confirmed cases and at least 1,800 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University. The rise in cases is driving a surge in hospitalizations and deaths, with more than 82,100 people currently hospitalized across the country — a higher number than at any point during the pandemic.

He continues to suprise me. Good thoughts! Good insights! Good perspectives!
The way a so-called Billionaire has been able to get likely under $100k and more probably under $60K folks to abandon all, to support him, is something to witness.
^^^This is so true. It's the reason despite all the polls to the contrary Trump still came across as confident he'll win. All the supression and other tactics were in place and used and he still lossed.
It tells me without those measures he should have and would have lost by a lot more votes.
I pray Dejoy and Graham and the rest gets some legal justice. That shit can't be allowed.
