#ELB: Breaking: In Total Loss for Trump Campaign in Its Most Major Remaining Election Case, Federal Court in Pennsylvania Dismisses Case and Denies Motion to File Amended Complaint [link to opinion] https://electionlawblog.org/?p=118942
The federal court judge just EXCORIATES the Trump campaign for seeking to disenfranchise nearly seven million Pennsylvania voters with SHODDY legal arguments. We told you it would be this way:
From the judge on the merits: "Plaintiffs’ only remaining claim alleges a violation of equal protection. This claim, like Frankenstein’s Monster, has been haphazardly stitched together from two distinct theories in an attempt to avoid controlling precedent."
This ruling can be appealed but I expect an appeal will get ZERO traction.
And there are no remaining serious lawsuits that could affect the outcome in PA. None. (There are some that involve a small number of ballots, including one stuck at SCOTUS).

So what does this leave in terms of Trump lawsuits? There's one still pending in NV that will fail. There's the one pending before SCOTUS that involves few ballots.
Nothing else significant. For all those GOP Senators waiting for Trump to produced evidence, there's NOTHING LEFT.

One thing I like about the judge's order dismissing the lawsuit and denying leave to amend is how the judge *signs his name* to his order. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057.203.0_2.pdf

Today's ruling is a victory for the rule of law, and for the voters of Pennsylvania, whom the Trump campaign sought to disenfranchise on the flimsiest legal theory imaginable.
