Well, the Supreme Court ruled on one of those appeals yesterday, and it was a resounding loss for Trump' and the GOPs ludicrous fiasco. The high court justices ruled 9-0 to deny the Republicans' appeal (details here). Trump was counting on the justices he nominated to help him and they unanimously said "no."
Other election disputes may still make their way to the Supreme Court, but the outcome will almost certainly be the same. And time is running out; the Electoral College vote is Monday.
The Texas Attorney General, who is under indictment and also a die-hard Trump supporter, filed a rare original jurisdiction case before the Supreme Court yesterday, claiming Texas was wronged by the election outcome in four other states. Legal experts have near universally agreed in media interviews the Texas lawsuit is dead on arrival. Original jurisdiction cases generally take years and sometimes decades to resolve, not hours.
Trump is nearly out of time and out of courts. He has no evidence and his supporters are now just filing the same suits over and over again, with each and every case being tossed out of court.
How can anyone still be fooled by Trump's claims when no court will take his case?
