A Denver-based federal appeals court has agreed with a lower court’s dismissal of a lawsuit that claimed the 2020 presidential election was stolen from President
Donald Trump and had been rigged by Dominion Voting Systems
This is what I mean when I say you Republicans don't know what is and isn't unconstitutional
10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that eight plaintiffs from across the U.S. had no standing to assert that the outcome of the election “violated the constitutional rights of every registered voter in the United States.”
The lawsuit relied on
baseless conspiracy theories spread by Trump and his supporters that the election was stolen in favor of
Joe Biden. Among others, it named Facebook and Denver-based
Dominion Voting Systems, whose election machines remain the focus of some of the most fevered — and continuing — unfounded speculation about voting fraud.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Neureiter
ordered two lawyers who filed the lawsuit to pay more than $180,000 in attorney’s fees for the defendants. This is what you do to people who file frivolous lawsuits.
The penalties included $62,930 payable to Dominion and $50,000 to Facebook, which the lawsuit alleged censored conservative voices leading up to the election.
Repeated audits and recounts found no significant fraud in the presidential election.
Trump’s own administration said the election was clean.
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday the plaintiffs had no standing to assert that the outcome of the election “violated the constitutional rights of every registered voter in the United States.”
