In this action, the Trump Campaign and the Individual Plaintiffs (collectively, the “Plaintiffs”) seek to discard millions of votes legally cast by Pennsylvanians from all corners - from Greene County to Pike County, and 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 and dismiss Plaintiffs' action with prejudice.

You media morons are all laughing at @RudyGiuliani, but he appears to have already established a great rapport with the judge, who is currently offering recommendations on martini bars for Team Trump in open court.

Get rid of universal suffrage then.

That's it? That's your clever comeback? Your biting bon mot? Your robust riposte? That's literally your answer to a critique of democracy, taking away the right to vote? While it's clear that you're just flailing about in a desperate attempt to argue and you're really bad at it, you've shown your cards here. You'd love to take away peoples' right to vote, wouldn't you?

The irony is that in your rush to show everyone how undemocratic you are in your half-assed defense of democracy, you colossally missed the point. Whether everyone votes or only Christian white men who own land and a wife are allowed to vote is immaterial. The core flaw of democracy (direct and representative) is this: democracy is not the same thing as self-determination. Democracy can only function through coercion: by living in one we are forced to participate in it. Its sole purpose is to legitimatize the state, by giving people the sense that they are somehow participating in their own self-rule via an external body that, in fact, does all the ruling.
