According to Ellis, in a tweet, fraud WAS part of the case.
I’m confused.
I thought the 2 main charges were equal protection and the part about observers.
I’m kinda confused.
The appeal was technically about one specific thing - whether Giuliani could amend the complaint twice (he amended it a first time to delete everything EXCEPT the equal protection argument). Under the rules of the Court you can amend the legal complaint once, but need the permission of the Court and opposing parties to amend it more than once.
Giuliani told the Court that, despite getting paid $20,000 a day or whatever, he accidentally deleted the parts of the complaint he deleted in his first filing. At no point did anything from the Giuliani camp allege fraud. Instead, this was a “My Dog Ate the Due Process Part of my Complaint Appeal.” The Court was not amused.
