Trump vowed over a week ago to unleash an imposing barrage of legal challenges to the result of an election that is, and should universally be recognized as, over and done. In a statement last weekend, he vowed that, on Monday, November 7, "Our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."
Well, last Monday has come and gone. Turns out, all Trump's attorneys have delivered is a ridiculous mishmash of lawsuits that run the gamut from weak to entirely meritless to downright frivolous.
Trump and his attorneys are humiliating themselves, and they're damaging our democracy in the process.
There's no delicate way to put this: Thus far,
Trump, his campaign and their surrogates have gotten absolutely pummeled in the courts. One of the great things about our legal system is that
it requires actual proof — not tweets, not public statements, not viral videos — but actual verifiable evidence. And the Trump campaign's efforts to, well,
trump up evidence of voter fraud have failed spectacularly.
