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.

I am not convinced it is either good or bad.
It could be just that the Trump team wants a legal strategy which is coordinated so the troops aren’t all heading in different directions.
Interesting. Can you supply a link or direct me to an article?
20 minutes ago Rep. Tricia Flanagan tweeted that an emergency meeting was called by Pres. Trump the the WH and that a massive legal filing is imminent.
Romney is the textbook definition of a political cuckold.
He is probably completely ok with the knowledge that 2012 probably was stolen from him.
And probably holds Obama in higher regard than Trump while he’s at it.
Trump has only a short time to make his case before the Nation.
The case needs to be concise, overwhelming and understandable to the normal people (with limited attention spans and a lack of background knowledge).
in before someone says “chess”.
Forbes... Meh
Isn’t this headline a tad misleading?
These are not GOP lawsuits. They were brought by citizens who are most likely Republicans but that doesn’t mean they are representing the GOP in their suits.
BREAKING—Pres Trump has been called to an emergency meeting at the White House with his legal team. Massive legal filing imminent.— Tricia Flanagan (R-NJ) For U.S. Senate (@NewDayForNJ) November 16, 2020
We don’t get to pick the timing.
Strap in—this is going to be a _wild_ ride.
Fwiw I have confidence that the Trump legal team will have a sound strategy to get us where we need to go—a second term.
This IS FAKE NEWS!!!

Based upon what?
“...Three Wisconsin voters, backed by conservative group True the Vote, voluntarily dismissed a lawsuit...”
“Similar lawsuits in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin...”
Lawsuits by those states’ VOTERS, not the GOP, not Trump.
Word-parsing liar MSM/Lucifer minions doing their deceitful headline work, again.
Thanks!
Why are you posting sheer crap from LEFT WING FORBES?!
This is totally #FakeNews.
Just stop it people and do some research before you post this fake news nonsense. Sheesh!
And have some darn patience. This is so MASSIVE it takes time to make sure your ducks are in a row and legal documents are air tight.
Forbes is Chinese owned.
Forbes is ENEMEDIA.
If it doesn’t involve Rudy, Sidney, Lin or Jay it’s not important.
I agree. He is running out of time. Also, the case evidence has to be so overwhelming that there is no wiggle room for the perps.
These suits were NOT brought by the GOP that’s WHAT!!!
