Georgia high court rejects another Trump appeal to throw out election results

Published: Dec. 13, 2020 at 4:41 p.m. ETATLANTA — President Donald Trump has lost his latest legal challenge seeking to overturn Georgia’s election results, with the state Supreme Court’s rejection late Saturday of a case from Trump’s campaign and Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer.

The suit — similar to other Trump team legal challenges, which made baseless allegations of widespread fraud in Georgia’s presidential election — was initially filed Dec. 4, then rejected by the Fulton County Superior Court because the paperwork was improperly completed and it lacked the appropriate filing fees.

The case was subsequently appealed directly to the state Supreme Court, asking justices to consider the case before Monday’s meeting of the Electoral College. In a brief order, justices wrote that “petitioners have not shown that this is one of those extremely rare cases that would invoke our original jurisdiction.”

It’s the latest legal setback in the president’s efforts to overturn the election results. On Friday the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit backed by Trump seeking to overturn Democrat Joe Biden’s election victory, a move that ended a desperate attempt to get legal issues rejected by state and federal judges before the nation’s highest court.

Even as lawsuits filed by Trump and his allies have been rejected around the country, the president has continued to make repeated baseless claims of widespread fraud. In Georgia, he has rained criticism on Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and Gov. Brian Kemp, both fellow Republicans.

Raffensperger has been steadfast in his defense of the integrity of the election in the state, and Kemp has said he has no power to intervene in elections.

Results certified by Raffensperger last month showed that Biden led by a margin of 12,670 votes, or 0.25% of the roughly 5 million ballots cast. An audit involving a hand count of the paper ballots also showed Biden won.

Last week, Raffensberger again recertified the state’s election results after a recount requested by Trump confirmed once again that Biden won the state, and the governor then recertified the state’s 16 presidential electors.

“We have now counted legally cast ballots three times, and the results remain unchanged,” Raffensperger said during a news conference at the state Capitol.

I wonder whether Pinky will continue to dig up his falsehoods and disinformation regarding all sorts of fairy tale "pathways of breadcrumbs" that Trump can follow to keep him from being indicted

Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward Says Despite ‘Biased’ Media, Their Election Suit is Ongoing and Heading to the Supreme Court

“The media is lying about lawsuits” she starts out. Ward goes on to read an excerpt from Forbes: “The Supreme Court’s rejection of the Texas case is in line with how the courts have overwhelmingly responded to the Trump campaign and the GOP’s post-election cases as Republicans have lost more than 50 court cases and only netted one minor win”.

She then goes on after the quote to say “False! False! That article then links to a case in Pennsylvania, the case of the Trump poll watchers who weren’t able to meaningfully observe what was going on. That case was later reversed, so why is the media not talking about our minor but significant ‘rule 27’ win here in Arizona?”

In today's update, Chairwoman Kelli Ward exposes the media malpractice of so-called journalists who are parroting the talking points of shady Democrat operative Marc Elias.

Maybe not that particular pathway. But you just know he’ll be talking smack about some yellow brick road somewhere.

Fraud in Michigan proven. Now it just needs to be proven in court. The courts have to hear this case. If they do not expect Trump to enforce his EO. He has installed the people who can get it done. Take your pick. Biden will not be president.

Here's what's gonna happen. Hawaii hasn't voted in the Electoral College yet. They are about to pull some really great shenanigans.

First, they are going to nullify 35 of California's votes, declaring they just have too many. Those 35 votes plus their 4 votes would then be given to theRump. This would then give him 271 votes and the win. Way to go Drumpf! You finally won.

Well, it could happen, right? It's as logical as anything cj says.

Drumpf got Hawaii to agree because he promised them they would be able to reseat their King.

I do not drink. Burning down minority neighborhoods in big cities will change nothing. Biden is not going to be president.

the Supreme Court are just going to roll their eyes and turn it down, just like all the other phony suits were turned down. duh.
