With this action
The Trump Campaign
Seeks to discard
millions of votes
legally cast
by Pennsylvanians
from all corners –
from Greene County
to Pike County
everywhere in between
In other words,
Plaintiffs ask this Court
to disenfranchise
almost seven million voters.
This Court has been unable to find
any case in which a plaintiff has sought
such a drastic remedy
in the contest of an election,
in terms of the sheer volume of votes
asked to be invalidated.
One might expect
that when seeking
such a startling outcome,
a plaintiff would come formidably armed
with compelling legal arguments
and factual proof of rampant corruption,
such that this Court would have no option
but to regrettably grant
the proposed injunctive relief
despite the impact it would have
on such a large group of citizens.
That has not happened.
Instead, this Court has been presented
with strained legal arguments without merit
and speculative accusations,
unpled in the operative complaint
and unsupported by evidence.
In the United States of America,
this cannot justify the
disenfranchisement
of a single voter,
let alone all the voters
of its sixth most populated state.
Our people, laws, and institutions demand more
At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden
to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
Therefore, I grant Defendants’ motions
To dismiss Plaintiffs’ action
with prejudice.
