You are giving us selective bias, pointing to things which may have been dismissed because they were trying to get the state to concede on an interpretation of law.
Sorry about that.
I would point to things which haven't been dismissed, but there aren't any.
This is the crux of the problem with Tom’s assertions. The one legal expert he cited as supporting his notion that these lawsuits are credible did so with caveats that fell outside the reality we are living in. Tom is deploying an extreme amount of wishful thinking based on reports by people that thus far have been shown to either misrepresent or misunderstand facts or the legal system.
Like the latest NV lawsuit. It’s asking that the results be overturned based on specs on signature machines. There is every indication that processes are in place to deal with mistakes by these machines, there isn’t an indication that any mistakes would turn the result for Trump but yet, they are asking to disenfranchise those voters. Time and again the courts have shown that in reality, the enfranchisement of voters matters and that results don’t get overturned because maybe something might have happened.
Yes. Unfortunately for Trump, and Tom I guess, you can claim what you like on Twitter (although they are increasingly flagging Trump's Tweets as 'fake news'). His team can spout on places like NewsMax and other sympathetic networks and continue to make baseless claims of fraud. And Tom can Google furiously and post links to various sources which he thinks back up Trump's conspiracy theories.
But when you get into court...they're going to want to see some evidence. They deal in facts.
And it doesn't matter how much evidence they
say they have, it doesn't matter about their 234 pages of affidavits. When those affidavits are things like "A large man was wearing a BLM T-Shirt and I found him intimidating" or "I saw someone roll their eyes at a vote cast for Trump" or "I saw some military ballots and they were for Biden" - which are real examples - then you're not going to get very far in court. Because none of those things are evidence of widespread fraud. Neither are mismatches in counts which are almost all down to human error and happen in every election. None of the discrepancies are anywhere near enough to change the end result.
Trump's 1 for 25 right now - and the case they won was one where the deadline for providing ID was extended and the court agreed that the person who made that decision overstepped her authority. But it made no difference to the end result in that area either. All the other cases have been thrown out, in some the judge barely disguising their frustration at Trump's team for wasting the court's time.
And yet...Tom continues to believe there was widespread fraud as do many of Republicans. And it's clear how this is going to play out.
Trump's cases will continue to be thrown out of court. Biden will win the Electoral College and will become President.
Trump will continue to claim to his dying day that he was the real winner and was robbed, without providing any evidence.
And the weird thing is many people will continue to believe him.
Because this is how conspiracy theories work. No matter that the courts keep throwing out his cases for lack of evidence - that just becomes part of the conspiracy, "they" are supressing the evidence.
It's cognitive dissonance 101.
