A federal judge threw out a lawsuit Monday that relied on conspiracy theories to try to invalidate Georgia’s election results that showed Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump. U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten dismissed the lawsuit, which was bought by former Trump attorney Sidney Powell in an attempt to decertify Georgia’s election. “They want this court to substitute its judgment for the 2.5 million voters who voted for Biden,” Batten said in court in Atlanta. “This I’m unwilling to do.” The decision leaves Georgia’s election intact, supporting state officials’ statements that there was no evidence of widespread fraud. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Monday he plans to certify the election results again after a second recount that again confirmed Biden defeated Trump. Powell’s lawsuit had alleged ballot-stuffing, vote-flipping and voting machine tampering, among several other theories about how Trump could have lost in Georgia. But attorneys for state election officials said those accusations weren’t backed up by facts. Batten dismissed the case based on similar reasoning as the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which decided Saturday that a Trump supporter, L. Lin Wood, lacked standing to sue, and that federal courts have limited jurisdiction in cases contesting election results. Those kinds of cases should be filed in state courts, Batten said.

hmmm T
...relied on conspiracy theories...
Typical. A Judge refuses to look at anything and thus sees nothing.
This was Friday. This is not new. Mods consider removal
The courts refused to save us from the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
That set up the conditions for the Big Steal.
They will refuse to save us from the Big Steal, too.
...there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
...there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
This is not a case “contesting election results.” This, and the many other cases are alleging Election Fraud which led to an indiscernable winner for the election. The suits are simply asking that illegal ballots not be counted. Remedies are up to the State Legislators. It’s amazing how many stupid or compromised judges there are sitting on different courts.
The courts are no remedy. We saw it with Obamacare. Roberts twisted, turned and redefined in an effort to let Obamacare stand. The most telling thing to me is that Roberts said he didn’t want to legislate, and since Congress put Obamacare in place, Roberts didn’t want to be the one to strike it down.
And I think that’s how a lot of our judicial system is dysfunctioning right now. Rather than interpret the law, they interpret the will of the legislators.
No, it happened today.
What about the 2.5 million who voted for Trump in Georgia?
I’d guess that it was more or less expected. Now on to the next step.
Do we still have Barr as a backstop?
No, this happened today. A suit in Georgia and one in Michigan were both tossed. This is in addition to the five or six that were dismissed on Friday.
I guess votes are sacrosanct regardless of whether those votes are legal, from citizens, from the dead or from the imaginary. Apparently this so called judge puts the words of bureaucrats in Georgia before facts. Judges like this have destroyed the legal system in this country and they will not like the end result.
What is the next step?
A third alternative would be if she attempted to present the evidence, but the judge refused to allow it ...
Good. Now Appeal!
That would also be on the judge.
