Even Trump-Appointed Judges Balk at President's Efforts to Overturn Election

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - Federal judge Stephanos Bibas pulled no punches when he
   issued a scathing opinion last Saturday rejecting the Trump campaign's
   latest attempt to overturn the outcome of the November 3 presidential
   election.

   "Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does
   not make it so," Bibas wrote in a [1]21-page ruling dismissing a
   lawsuit that sought to stop the certification of Pennsylvania's voting
   results. "Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have
   neither here."

   This was among the latest repudiations of President Donald Trump's
   unsubstantiated claim that the election he lost to former Vice
   President Joe Biden was rigged and that millions of votes were
   illegally cast or discounted.

   In the month since the election, Trump and his allies have filed more
   than three dozen lawsuits, mostly in state courts, with judges ruling
   against them in all but one minor case.
