(CNN)Two judges in Pennsylvania on Friday tossed a half dozen court
cases the Trump campaign had brought to invalidate thousands of votes
around Philadelphia, where voters carried President-elect Joe Biden to a
clear win in the battleground state.

In total, the Trump campaign had sought to throw out almost 9,000
absentee ballots because their outer envelopes lack names, dates or
addresses or some combination of the three that voters could have filled
out.

In five related cases, Judge James Crumlish of Philadelphia County's
Court of Common Pleas said the Trump campaign couldn't invalidate 8,329
ballots it alleged were improper. The judge ruled those ballots should
be processed and counted.

In another case, the President's campaign sought for the Montgomery
County Board of Elections to throw out 592 mail-in ballots where voters
hadn't filled out their addresses on the outside envelopes. Those
ballots will be counted, the second judge, Richard Haaz of the
Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas, ruled on Friday.

Haaz found that state law didn't require voters to fill out the address
sections on the envelopes, and the instructions on the ballots didn't
tell voters they must fill them out.

"Voters should not be disenfranchised by reasonably relying upon voting
instructions provided by election officials," Haaz wrote.

The Trump campaign had said in court that it wasn't alleging voting
fraud in the cases -- just attempting to enforce the rules.
Though the ballots numbered in the thousands, they would not be enough
for Trump to overcome Biden's win in Pennsylvania, even if all were
Trump votes.

Also, Michigan judge rejects demand to block certification of Biden win
in Detroit and debunks fraud claims.

But...best of all, Rudy Guiliani is running Trump's campaign to
invalidate the election...perfect. I mean what could go wrong with
Bull****tin' Rudy in charge?



The error is not the fields COULD have been filled out, they MUST be filled
out to be valid. According to English majors, words have meaning.


Go argue with the judge, bilious.


Just look at how many rulings are overturned, to see how good judges are.
Or don’t words have meaning anymore?
