In an interview broadcast on Fox News on Sunday, Trump said the electoral challenge for his campaign and its Republican Allies is not over, despite what appears to be setbacks in some legal cases. President Trump said Joe Biden’s attempt to become an “illegitimate president” should worry everyone more than the controversy and conflict that election litigation will bring.
“I’m concerned that the president of this country is illegal, and that’s what I’m concerned about,” Trump said, adding that biden clearly “lost, and lost a lot,” based on the legal results. It was a very close election. If you look at Georgia. We won big in Georgia. We also won big in Pennsylvania. We also won big in Wisconsin. We won a lot.”
Although the dispute remains unresolved, governors of six swing states are still certifying the election results on their own. Litigation by the Trump team continues in many states.
Monday’s electoral College vote is expected to be the next focus of attention. On January 6th the dispute will enter the state legislature. According to two law professors, Vice President Pence has the authority to reject the results of a state’s electoral College.
Just the News reported on December 8 that John Yoo, a law professor at the University of California-Berkeley, and Robert J. Delahunty, a law professor at St. Thomas University, recently published a paper arguing that under the 12th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, As president of the Joint Session of Congress, Mr Pence “can refuse to count the electoral votes of contested states in the general election”.
On Friday, the Supreme Court dismissed the Texas v. Four Swing States case 7-2, citing “Texas’s lack of capacity to prosecute other states in matters of constitutional compliance.” Alan Dershowitz, a former Harvard law professor, argues that the fact that Texas does have the right to Sue in election-related cases only shows that the courts do not want to intervene in the election. Mr. Dershowitz said he agreed with the two minority justices that the court’s refusal to hear the case was “not a legal message” but rather “because the Supreme Court does not want to be part of the campaign.”
President Trump criticized the court, saying the Court did not have the “courage” to even hear the Texas case.
“We’ve proven it, but the justices, including the Supreme Court, don’t have the guts to listen,” Trump said. I’m very disappointed in them.” He said; “Not a single judge, not even the Supreme Court of the United States, has the courage to allow it to be heard.”
For Texas, the Supreme Court declared, “there is no judicially identifiable problem with how other states run their elections.” But Texas prosecutors say electoral misconduct in other states would be a blow not only to states where voters cast ballots fairly, but also to the democratic electoral system.
President Trump had previously said on Twitter that the justice had avoided a politically sensitive case. He denounced the choice as “devoid of justice and courage”.
In response, The president said: “It’s not over yet. We move on.” He announced that an ongoing lawsuit would focus on proving fraud in state courts.
The president’s supporters praised the efforts of his team. Millions of people gathered in Washington on Saturday for a pro-Trump rally to denounce election fraud.
Polls show a significant number of Americans have doubts about the legitimacy of the November 3 election.
According to one US poll, some 68% of Republicans and 36% of voters think Mr Biden stole the election. A recent Fox News poll found that 77 percent of Trump supporters believe he actually won the election, while 26 percent of independents and 10 percent of Democrats believe he did.
