Attorney Lin Wood says he plans to file a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, after a federal court denied his appeal in a case seeking to block the certification of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
“The stakes are high as the case deals with a disputed Presidential election,” Wood said Dec. 6 in an email to The Epoch Times. “I intend to timely file a petition with the United States Supreme Court.”
A panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on Dec. 5 upheld a Nov. 19 ruling by District Judge Steven Grimberg, a Trump appointee, who said that Wood lacked legal standing as an individual voter to challenge Georgia’s election procedures.
“We agree with the district court that Wood lacks standing to sue because he fails to allege a particularized injury. And because Georgia has already certified its election results and its slate of presidential electors, Wood’s requests for emergency relief are moot to the extent they concern the 2020 election,” the panel wrote in a 20-page opinion.
“The Constitution makes clear that federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, U.S. Const. art. III; we may not entertain post-election contests about garden-variety issues of vote counting and misconduct that may properly be filed in state courts.”
