Russell allowed them to enter evidence that courts in the state would normally block — expert testimony without sufficient expertise, hearsay, and so on. In other words, Team Trump got their full day in court, and still lost. Russell ruled against every affidavit, every expert, and every legal argument they presented. The ruling last night from the state supreme court reviewed that record and pointedly notes that not only did the campaign fail to meet a preponderance-of-evidence standard even while including inadmissible presentations, they unanimously agreed with Russell that it didn’t even meet lower evidentiary standards. It’s a stunning condemnation of Team Trump’s legal work and claims in the election.
How did they present all this in 2 hours? Was the 2 hour reference to the Nevada Supreme Court? But they just reviewed what was already presented to Judge Russell?
“In his decision, Russell took issue or declined to accept any of the evidence presented by the Trump campaign,” The Nevada Independent reported. “Russell also rejected the wide swaths of alleged illegal voting that the Trump campaign claimed had occurred in the state, with ballots supposedly cast by tens of thousands of out-of-state residents, deceased individuals, or individuals impersonating other voters.”
Appellate decision doesn’t have to review all of the evidence, just the issues raised on appeal.
HERE is the lower court judge’s decision that heard all of the evidence and decided that he didn’t like it. https://www.kolotv.com/2020/12/04/carson-city-judge-rejects-efforts-to-overturn-biden-victory-in-nevada/
