GOP Suddenly Drops Election Lawsuits In Four Battleground States Amid Recent Court Failures

GOP plaintiffs moved to dismiss pending lawsuits in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia Monday morning that targeted ballots in Democratic counties and attempted to block the states from certifying their election results, marking a noticeable shift in Republicans’ post-election legal strategy days after the Trump campaign and GOP suffered a series of failures in court Friday.

================================================================================

Key Facts

Three Wisconsin voters, backed by conservative group True the Vote, voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit that sought to block the state from certifying votes in several Democratic-leaning counties, claiming their votes had been diluted because of alleged voter fraud and “illegal” votes in those counties.

The lawsuit—in which the plaintiffs admitted they did not yet have any concrete evidence of illegal votes and the evidence would be “shortly forthcoming”—was dropped immediately before the case was supposed to be heard in court.

Similar lawsuits in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, in which voters in each state also tried to exclude votes that were cast in certain Democratic-leaning counties, were also dismissed by the plaintiffs Monday morning.

The notices of dismissal did not give a reason behind the plaintiffs’ decision, and conservative attorney James Bopp, who is associated with True the Vote and represented the plaintiffs in all four states, told the Associated Press Monday he could not comment on the Wisconsin lawsuit due to attorney-client privilege.

=======================================================================

Key Background

The GOP lawsuits were part of a broader effort by the Trump campaign and Republicans to challenge the election results in battleground states in the wake of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

The Biden people (?) had better hope this obvious election fraud is thoroughly and transparently investigated.

Otherwise, they’ll be dealing with 70+ million American patriots who, unlike the vagina-hat-wearing nutjobs of four years ago, will LEGITIMATELY have reason disavow his “presidency.”

I wouldn’t want to try to govern under those circumstances.

Absolutely this.

Without the profanity and destruction and without the insider *public servant* obstruction, 100M (my personal bet as to POTUS’ support)Americans can become immovable objects.

Just say NO.
