He is a typical Republican judge who is hostile to any kind of civil rights action. I just read his opinion half way through. Judge Brann ruled that most of the complaint is contrary to Third Circuit precedent. He then writes that if someone outside of Philadelphia or Allegheny counties couldn't cure their mail in ballot, their problem is with their county, and not the Secretary of State who is running the elction and certifying the results, and that striking the votes of those who voted with different standards in the big cities doesn't cure those who couldn't vote.

Then I got to this part about the arguments for the Trump campaign and stopped reading: The standing inquiry as to the Trump Campaign is particularly nebulous because neither in the [complaint] nor in its briefing does the Trump Campaign clearly assert what its alleged injury is.

OK. So, President Trump is being cheated out of 20 electoral votes he needs to be reelected and Matt Brann doesn't know what his injury is? So I have my master of laws degree (LL.M.) and Matt has only a first law degree, but he is a judge and I am not. At least he wrote the opinion quickly, and now the President can take this up (again) to SCOTUS. Stay tuned tomorrow.
