More Trump lawsuits thrown out of court. You'd think these morons would be tired of losing by now, but I guess not.

A Nevada judge dismissed the Trump campaign’s formal challenge to the state’s election results with prejudice on Friday, ruling that the campaign failed to substantiate its claims of voter fraud or offer any basis for annulling more than 1.3 million votes cast in the state’s presidential race.

In a detailed, 35-page decision, Judge James T. Russell of the Nevada District Court in Carson City vetted each claim made by the Trump campaign and found that none was supported by convincing proof. Lawyers for Trump are expected to appeal Russell’s decision to the Nevada Supreme Court as part of their foundering effort to overturn Biden’s victory in key battleground states.

The campaign “did not prove under any standard of proof that illegal votes were cast and counted, or legal votes were not counted at all, due to voter fraud, nor in an amount equal to or greater than” Biden’s margin of victory, which was about 33,600 votes, Russell wrote.
Quote:
Among its claims, the campaign alleged that more than 61,000 people voted twice or from out-of-state. In his ruling, Russell concurred with election officials and academic experts that there is no evidence for this.

The judge specifically dismissed witness declarations that had been touted by the campaign, calling them “self-serving statements of little or no evidentiary value.”

The Trump campaign faced other legal defeats around the country on Friday — including in Minnesota, where the state’s highest court dismissed a Republican lawsuit seeking to delay certification of the election results. Biden beat Trump there by more than 233,012 votes.
