Legal experts marvel as election lawsuits border on bizarre

As President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign continues to result in prosecutions for massive electoral fraud and irregularities, legal experts across the country have said the campaign’s strategy verges on the odd.

“They throw the kitchen sink against the wall to see what sticks – a mixed metaphor that deserves this legal strategy. And ‘legal strategy’ should be in quotes,” Ben Ginsberg, a Republican electoral lawyer who has worked on the 2000 Bush v. To the top Supreme Court case, recounted Politico.

Ginsberg then went on to mock one of Trump’s attorneys who filed an election challenge in federal claims court on Thursday. Not only was the case filed in the wrong place, but Ginsberg also said that the title Donald Trump v. United States was weird, like the president was suing the nation.

“Why would anyone use that title?” said Ginsberg. He then speculated that Trump’s lawyers named the case in an effort to “appease their client” because they believe “they have no relevant fraud or irregularities” to support the case of Trump.

Barry Richard, an electoral law attorney who also handled the George W. Bush recount case, said the Trump campaign’s legal strategy seems odd.

“These are purely extravagant things,” Richard also said. Politico. “But we have a weird president. So I guess that makes sense.”

Richard went on to say that Trump should show that fraud and irregularities not only existed but occurred in general, so much so that certain state results should be invalidated.

Lawyers who have argued for opposing clients Bush v. To the top also agreed that President-elect Joe Biden had clearly won the presidential election and that Trump had no valid argument to overturn the results.

“Over the past week we have heard repeated claims that the outcome of this election is somehow in doubt, like in 2000,” lawyers David Boise and Theodore B. Olson wrote in an article for ‘opinion for The Washington Post the Saturday. “It isn’t. Biden will be president.”

They continued: “The controversies over the presidential elections currently taking place in various parts of the country are not Bush v. To the top. The case concerned the agonizing close election in one state, Florida, which was to be decisive in the presidential election that year. Barely 500 votes separate the candidates George W. Bush and Al Gore. “

Despite the legal setbacks, Tim Murtaugh, Trump’s campaign director of communications, said the campaign has a method that will allow Trump to become the winner.

“Over 72 million people have now voted for President Trump and these Americans deserve to know that this election was free, fair, safe and secure, and they deserve to know that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is not is not counted, “Murtaugh said on a conference call Thursday, as reported Politico. “You simply cannot ignore the very real evidence of improprieties.”

Trump’s campaign did not respond Newsweek ‘s request for comments in time for publication.
