A Trump-appointed judge eviscerated the president's biggest election lawsuit in Pennsylvania, saying the campaign's 'claims have no merit'

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.

"Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here," Bibas wrote.. Notably, the judge who wrote the appeals court's decision, Stephanos Bibas, was appointed by President Donald Trump. The other two judges were also conservative; both were appointed to the court by former President George W. Bush.

Trump's lead defense lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, also made unspecified and baseless claims about "widespread nationwide voter fraud" when arguing the case before the a Pennsylvania district court that were not supported by the campaign's lawsuit. As a result, US District Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the lawsuit.

"To start, note what it does not allege: fraud," Bibas wrote. "Indeed, in oral argument before the District Court, Campaign lawyer Rudolph Giuliani conceded that the Campaign 'doesn't plead fraud' ... He reiterated: 'If we had alleged fraud, yes, but this is not a fraud case.'" "The Campaign tries to repackage these state-law claims as unconstitutional discrimination," he added. "Yet its allegations are vague and conclusory."
