Both lawyers rest in the MTG hearing...

No hard evidence of insurrection.

The Plaintiff lawyer basically presented social media posts and TV clips showing support for protesting the election, but not advocating violence or interference with the certification process.

The Judge will recommend to Raffensperger that Congresswoman Greene is eligible to run for re-election.

is presenting concluding statements - then plaintiff attorneys is presenting theirs.

It's hard to follow. He's bringing up other opinions in other cases, which I assume is his job, but it's SO Talmudic and boring.
I can't even discern whether any of it is compelling.

They're intended to tie the evidence presented to the Law the Judge/Jury will use as the basis for a ruling. That can include prior relevant judicial rulings.

He's basically saying she supported the protest, and the protest equated to insurrection. That's not a linkage the Judge will accept.
