President Donald Trump’s campaign was given a rude jolt on Friday after legal challenges it had mounted questioning the sanctity of election results were dismissed by judges after arguments and evidence on rampant voter fraud and polling irregularities were found to be non-existent, as per news media outlet NPR.

In the state of Pennsylvania, a state where Republican candidate Donald Trump was leading on election night but later lost ground, ultimately losing the state by a margin of over 60,000 votes, an appeals court, rejected an objection by Trump’s lawyers to practices involving mail-in votes, as per NPR. On his road to the White House Republican candidate Trump had carried the state by a margin of 44,000 plus votes, flipping the state after Barack Obama won the Penn state in 2008 and 2012.

In Michigan, a state Donald Trump won in 2016, but lost a hefty margin of over 125,000 votes, a judge junked flippant claims of the Trump campaign, calling them, “incorrect and not credible.”

The red state of Arizona, a conservation bastion, where President Trump is trailing President Elect Joe Biden, Trump’s lawyers stated that the judge was not needed as, “the tabulation of votes statewide has rendered unnecessary a judicial ruling as to the Presidential election, as per NPR report. Trump had emerged victorious in 2016, and President Elect Biden is on course to flip the red state for the first time in 24 years.

Top Democratic election lawyer, Marc Elias, on Friday said, “Trump’s legal strategy seems to be aimed at denying the inevitable.”

While all of Trump’s efforts to overturn the result of the election hasn’t been rejected, and the Trump campaign received a major boost on Thursday when a Pennsylvania judge ruled that ballots cast aside due to change of policy on relevant deadline could not be counted by state, the number of contested ballots however are not sufficient to change the outcome of the election.

Besides being unsuccessful in making headway in its numerous attempts to counteract the result of the election in federal court and the courts of key states, the Trump campaign has been rocked by the withdrawal of law firms to contest its several cases, as per NPR report. 

While Trump and associates have made protracted claims on what it perceives to be voter fraud and impropriety, its attorneys battling the legal suits in the court of law have conceded that they do not have requisite evidence.

Addressing the issue, Joshua Douglas, University of Kentucky law professor, opined, “When you don’t know the facts and you don’t have the law and you don’t have a remedy, you’ve really got nothing to go on in court,” as per NPR report.

The Trump campaign however has remained steadfast on their approach of filing legal suits to contest and challenge election results and is also soliciting contributions for its legal fund.

Vice President Mike Pence during an event in Washington DC stated that the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, isn’t prepared to concede and added the barrage of legal challenges will continue, as per NPR report.

Pence stated, “As our election contest continues in courts across America, I want to promise you: We are going to keep fighting until every legal vote is counted and until every illegal vote is thrown out. And whatever the outcome at the end of the process, I promise you: We will never stop fighting to make America great again.”
