Who'da thunk that Trump has actually only lost eight election court cases?

2020 Presidential Election Lawsuits — the Facts

The Left’s message to the public is that there were no consequential 2020 Presidential election malfeasance, irregularities or illegalities — supposedly because the courts objectively and thoroughly investigated those claims, and ruled them to be unfounded.

Neither element of that assertion is even remotely true.

To counter the later part of that false narrative, a team of independent volunteer (unpaid) scientists and engineers recently put together a List of Lawsuits involving the 2020 Presidential election. In it we identified the issues at stake, how each case was treated by the courts, what evidence was objectively analyzed, who won and lost, etc.

How many times have you heard people in the media or politicians provide you with the amount of lawsuits that have been filed, with the DEMAND that Trump has lost them all. Generally this is coupled with the DEMAND that the Courts have ruled unequivocally that there was no truth what-so-ever to any claims of election fraud. You could say that this has been argued so many times that the concept of an ad nauseum logical fallacy fails to even grasp the total dishonesty of these particular claims.

So what is the truth, broken down?

There has been 75 cases so far:

• 8 cases have been withdrawn or consolidated
• 25 cases have been dismissed for lack of standing, jurisdiction, or timing
• 19 cases completed
• 23 cases are still active

Here is the kicker. Of the cases that have been completed:

• 11 cases have been won by Trump or Trump surrogates
• 8  cases have been lost by Trump or Trump surrogates

So what does that mean? It means that out of the 75 cases that have been filed by Trump or on behalf of Trump that only 8 of those 75 have been actually argued before a court, and had a judge actually rule against Trump on the merits of the claim. Moreover, of the lawsuits that have made it to an actual Judge's decision, Trump has won a majority of them. On top of that, of the eight cases that Trump lost, several of those decisions were cast without allowing the Trump legal team any discovery what-so-ever.

Now it's certainly probable that Trump will end up losing some of those cases that are still active. But it's also probably that he will win more of them as well. Will winning more of these active cases undo the results of the election? Of course not. Hardly anyone serious every expected or suggested that court challenges would overturn the results of the election. 

But what we can garner out of this is a couple of things. First: that the media has been totally dishonest in their coverage of the election and the election lawsuits that followed. Second: that the media's claim that election fraud is a big lie, is actually the bigger lie. 

But at the end of the day the truth generally sets you free, unless of course you live in America in the year 2021. Then repeating that same truth will likely get you banned from Twitter, Facebook, and publicly shamed.
