The legal team led by former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell will appeal the dismissal of the election lawsuit tossed by a federal judge on Monday.
Powell told The Epoch Times in an email that they “will proceed as fast as possible to the Supreme Court.”
U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Batten dismissed Powell’s lawsuit on Dec. 7, opining that the plaintiffs have no standing to sue, should have brought the lawsuit to a state court, and had filed the case too late.
“There’s no question that Georgia has a statute that explicitly directs that elections contests be filed in Georgia Superior Court,” Batten, an appointee of President George Bush, said in explaining his decision following an hour of oral arguments in court on Monday. “They are state elections. State courts should evaluate these proceedings from start to finish.”
Batten signaled his skepticism about the lawsuit at the opening of the hearing, choosing some of the talking points emphasized by the defendants to introduce the case.
Powell filed the lawsuit on Nov. 25 on behalf of the presidential electors for President Donald Trump. One of the core allegations of the lawsuit concerns election machines and software by Dominion Voting Systems. The lawsuit cited several affiants to claim that the Dominion machines were manipulated to illegally alter the outcome of the Nov. 3 election.
“Their primary complaint involves the Dominion ballot marking devices. They say that those machines are susceptible to fraud. There’s no reason they could not have followed the administrative procedure act to object to the rulemaking authority that had been exercised by the secretary of state. This suit could have been filed months ago when the machines were adopted,” Batten said.
Plaintiffs asked the court to decertify the results of the election, a remedy the judge deemed extraordinary.

W strikes again.
UI am not sold on Powell. She and her Buddy Lawyer were telling the people of GA to boycott the recall election. That is madness and made me wonder where she was coming from. I was on her side until I heard that crap. She is going to have to retract that stuff and explain herself before I will listen to her again.

1. We kinda thought they would pay according to Hoyle. Now that they haven’t you’re saying we should have objected to a crime that hadn’t been committed?
2. Yer a dick
Be prepared for Trump haters disguised as Republicans (or actual Republicans who hate Trump anyway) to litter this thread with how useless this all is, and that we should just all get back on the plantation, STAT.
Standing. The no justice system.
This is funny ‘cuz if they had filed the suit within the timeframe the judge indicated, it would have been dismissed as with ‘no standing’ because the plaintiffs had not been hurt yet...
If Chinese 5000 eyes corroborated with US intel...
If, if, if, if...

First you threaten to boycott the election <— We are here
Then you actually boycott the election
Then you don’t consent to the government
Then you prevent its agents from exercising control over territory and people
Why should Guaido boycott the Venezuelan elections but not Georgians?
Any citizen has a stake in this.
Is the judge a foreign national?
At this point I am not overly concerned with the Lin Wood case being denied at the 11th Circuit Court and the Sidney Powell case being denied this morning in a Fed District Court.
Both were filed in the Federal Courts. If this election mess ever gets to the SCOTUS, the Trump Team can probably argue that other plaintiffs tried to bring the issues via the Federal Courts but were denied. Not being a lawyer—not sure if that matters.
The Trump Team has its lawsuit in the GA State Courts against Fulton County et al. If the GA State Courts drag their feet in any ruling, that seems to benefit the Trump Team in any arguments with SCOTUS should SCOTUS actually do anything.
good. has to go to the USSC asap.
There will always be a certain amount of people who will consider it crucial to vote for politicians who throw elections for the opposition, inexplicably. This is somehow twisted into being pragmatic. Moribund Mitch is counting on people like this, who are afraid to live without his protection and wholesome goodness.

It’s time
Clarence Thomas is over Georgia, the way Sam Alito is over Pennsylvania
All fraud suits are being dismissed for the same reasons. ‘No Standing’, and failed timely filing or ‘Laches’. This is Catch-22. If attempting litigation before an election...the same judges would throw it out for ‘lack of standing’ because there would be no ‘outcome’ that was contested because the election had not taken place. But waiting till after an election incurs the ‘laches’ dismissal for refusing to file timely. Likewise LIBERAL Fed Judges have no problem overriding STATE election laws using the Equal Protection Clause, but ‘CONSERVATIVE’ Fed Judges like this one say ‘no standing’ because this is a State Issue. No Equal Protection for conservatives..ever!
The courts have designed the perfect Catch-22 for never fixing election fraud, and the demorats know it and have exploited it so there will never be a fair election again. No one should expect the SC to fix this either based on how all this has gone so far.
The only way to fix this is for state legislatures to mandate voter ID and only in-person voting. Mail in voting and ballot harvesting should be banned, and absentee voting should be strictly controlled with numerous ID checks and witnesses. Of course this will be struck down by some liberal court, so once again the fraud will continue. There really will never be another honest election in this country. The Republic is dead.
I would submit that the steal was across state lines and there our votes are not .87, giving anyone in America whose vote was tabulated on a Dominion system “Standing”.
Justice Thomas has some serious Democrat payback to meter out.

Why don’t Republican legislatures simply elect Republican electors?
