The most ridiculous aspect of Donald Trump’s crusade to overturn the results of the 2020 election, in addition to it being a global embarrassment now spearheaded by Rudy “Sticky Hands” Giuliani, is that, to date, his campaign has been unable to produce a single shred of evidence concerning the alleged voter fraud he swears happened to such a degree that nefarious Democrats were able to tip the election for Joe Biden. That ridiculousness was cranked up a notch on Wednesday when lawyers for the president, who are ostensibly trying to prove his all-caps claims, admitted that they have no evidence that ballots cast in Pennsylvania were subject to any kind of fraud.
Regarding a lawsuit filed last week seeking to have the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas invalidate more than 2,200 supposedly “defective ballots” that were counted after a review by the Board of Elections, lawyers for the Trump campaign agreed to sign documents saying that there was zero evidence of fraud or misconduct when it came to said ballots. Per Law & Crime, attorneys for both sides signed a “joint stipulation of facts—an instrument meant to provide the court with facts relevant to the case that are undisputed by either party in the action—which clearly disavows any claims that voting in the commonwealth’s fourth-largest county was affected by any fraudulent conduct.” The joint statement literally reads: “Petitioners do not allege, and there is no evidence of, any fraud in connection with the challenged ballots.” Additionally, both sides agreed that election observers from each party were allowed full access to view the precanvassing and canvassing processes.
In other words: There was no fraud! Which is obviously very different from the claims currently being made by the outgoing president of the United States, as well as his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. On Tuesday, the former mayor claimed that 1.5 million votes had been illegally cast in the Keystone State, naturally failing to explain to the judge how he came up with that number. He also, seemingly accidentally, said “This is not a fraud case” before remembering why he was there:
Wednesday wasn’t the first time lawyers for the Trump campaign distanced themselves from Trump’s claims that the only reason he lost Pennsylvania to Biden is fraud. On Friday, Trump lawyer Linda Kerns told a judge that she was not “proceeding” with allegations of fraud, while last week in Arizona, Trump campaign lawyer Kory Langhofer told a different judge, “This is not a fraud case. It is not a stealing-the-election case.” Which would obviously come as news to…y’know:
