PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE REJECTS TRUMP’S REQUESTS, OPENING THE DOORS TO THE SUPREME COURT

WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 19: Rudy Giuliani points to a map as he speaks to the press about various lawsuits related to the 2020 election, inside the Republican National Committee headquarters on November 19, 2020 in Washington, DC. President Donald Trump, who has not been seen publicly in several days, continues to push baseless claims about election fraud and dispute the results of the 2020 United States presidential election.

What seems like a blow to Trump's protests could instead be the greater acceleration towards the final solution of the US elections. The federal judge on Saturday dismissed Trump's Pennsylvania campaign lawsuit that sought to invalidate millions of votes, dismissing the "surprising" request due to lack of evidence and ruling that the state can proceed with the certification of election results. US Middle District Judge Matthew Brann, appointed by Obama, ruled that the campaign presented "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative allegations" that were "unsupported by evidence."

The objections made by Trump's electoral committee were essentially three:

  • the systems of evaluation of the validity of the cards were much weaker in the democratic counties than in the republican counties;
  • the cancellation of votes in Pittsburg and Philadelphia, where delegates were not allowed to control Republican votes (in some cases badly);

If this seems like a defeat for Trump and Giuliani, in reality, as Rudolph himself points out, it is nothing more than the opening on the road to the final step, that is, to the judgment of the United States Supreme Court. Now by appealing against this decision Giuliani will have access to the Supreme Court, and the tactics will be similar with the other negative decisions of the state courts. If nothing else, we will reach an official end of history, which does not mean neither Trump's disappearance from politics nor, above all, will make the certainty that messes and frauds conditioned the last elections disappear.
