Another lawsuit thrown out of court. Granted, this one wasn't actually a Trump suit, but it's still fun watching all these insane attempts to undermine democracy fail.

A Nevada district judge on Friday denied a request brought by a conservative activist to halt the certification next week of the state's election results that show President-elect Joe Biden leading in Nevada by more than 33,000 votes.
The case was filed by conservative activist Sharron Angle and her organization, the Election Integrity Project, against Nevada's Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske -- the only Republican statewide office holder.
On Friday, District Court Judge Gloria Sturman denied Angle's challenge to the outcome and her request for a preliminary injunction to the Nevada Supreme Court's certification of the election results on Tuesday.

Sturman also denied a motion to strike down the Nevada law that cleared the way for the influx of mail-in votes that came in the election.
"The civil remedy of throwing out an election is just a shocking ask," she told attorney Joel Hansen. "You are asking me to throw out 1.4 million votes on the chance that somewhere between 250 and 8,000 people should not have voted."
Sturman, who won reelection this cycle, noted that if the election was thrown out there would be no one holding office, including herself.

Hours earlier, Sturman had denied a request by a failed Republican congressional candidate for a re-vote in Nevada's largest county, which certified its results on Monday.
Losing GOP candidate Jim Marchant had requested a new election in just one of the seven counties covered by the congressional district -- the Democratic-rich Clark County.
Sturman denied the request. She also said that it would have been difficult for Marchant to make up the 30,000 votes between him and Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford.
