Marc Elias on Arizona: “Arizona Court denies election contest. Court: ‘Plaintiff has not proven that the Biden/Harris ticket did not receive the highest number of votes.’ Trump and his allies have now lost 46 post-election lawsuits.”
Detroit Free Press on Michigan: The Michigan Court of Appeals on Friday rejected an appeal from the Trump presidential campaign challenging Michigan’s election results, in the latest in a series of court defeats for the president.
Law and Crime on Georgia: “A federal appellate court bookended a roller coaster of a week by rejecting Sidney Powell and Lin Wood’s appeal in the so-called Kraken case that they filed in the state of Georgia. First Powell and Wood ran to the U.S. District Court over the weekend and asked for a temporary restraining order so they could conduct forensic analyses of Dominion Voting Systems machines in 10 Peach State counties. When they didn’t get the order they really wanted, they went to the Eleventh Circuit with an interlocutory appeal and filed a brief just before midnight on Wednesday, asking the appellate court to decertify the presidential election. On Friday morning, Powell et al. managed to claim that Dominion had actually rigged the election against Joe Biden. By Friday evening, a President Donald Trump-appointed circuit judge penned the opinion of the court flatly denying their appeal on grounds that the court lacked jurisdiction.”
