Trump campaign drops lawsuit in Arizona after Joe Biden's lead cannot be overcome

PHOENIX — President Donald Trump's campaign has dropped its lawsuit in Arizona after learning that Joe Biden's margin of victory in the state cannot mathematically be overcome.

Arizona's latest ballot count on Thursday mathematically eliminated the president from winning the state.

President-elect Biden holds a lead of more than 11,000 votes lead over Trump in Arizona with just 10,315 ballots left to count as of Thursday night.

According to court documents, the campaign told the judge in the case that the "tabulation of votes statewide has rendered unnecessary a judicial ruling as to the presidential electors."

In a statement, the Biden campaign called the lawsuit "frivolous" and said the Trump campaign's motion to "withdraw any claims of relief related to the presidential campaign confirms that this was nothing more than a waste of time."

Attorneys for Maricopa County, the Arizona Secretary of State's Office and the Arizona Democrats clashed in an online courtroom on Tuesday with attorneys for Trump’s campaign over 180 votes.

That makes no sense. Then why was there a lawsuit to start with?

No - the lawsuit was to reinstate certain counting rules which doesn’t apply now that the count is “done”.

There are other lawsuits already in the work for the recount.

There is a different lawsuit in AZ that renders the one involved here moot. This one required it to be within the margin for a standard recount. The other one is for an audit then a recount.

The Trump Team will not challenge the vote in Arizona further?

They are building a case:

“Attorneys for Maricopa County, the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office and the Arizona Democrats clashed in an online courtroom on Tuesday with attorneys for Trump’s campaign over 180 votes.”

I was watching Newsmax and Corey Lewndowski was asked if they dropped the lawsuit and he said it wasn’t true. So who knows.
Maybe they had more than 1 lawsuit there.
I thought there was going to be a recount I don’t know what the heck is going on.

There is 10,988 votes between them with 10,318 votes outstanding to count so the deficit was 600 something.

12 News is an NBC affiliate in Phoenix. This is gaslighting by an MSM affiliate.

This is misleading. There are still votes to be counted and issues of duplicate ballots and others that can bring AZ into the winning column for Trump.

Boots on the ground by people in the know say AZ will be won.

How about an thorough audit to document whatever levels of fraud are present?

Thanks to you and to Skywise for the info. Got an unpleasant jolt from the headline, so your clarifying posts are very much welcomed.

Glad to hear he hasn’t given up on AZ. There’s so much misinformation being spread, in an effort to demoralize us.
