Judges want more evidence from Trump campaign as election cases get tossed

Since Election Day, the Trump campaign has brought a series of lawsuits around the country in an effort to find a path to reelection, but four judges in different states have now weighed in with striking consistency and similar language -- finding there is no sufficient evidence to back the claims.

This week, judges in Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan have rejected the campaign's efforts to halt the counting process, if only temporarily, or alter it in some way based on shaky allegations of improper or nefarious conduct.

When Trump's lawyers took their complaint about election observers being denied sufficient access to watch the processing of ballots, U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond appeared startled when the lawyers then acknowledged that the observers had, in fact, been permitted within 15 feet of the poll workers.

"I'm sorry, then what's your problem?" said Diamond.

In Nevada team tRump argued that observers should be allowed close enough to hear everything poll workers were saying. The judge responded "At what point does this get ridiculous?".

6. The NERVE of those Judges!!!!!!!!!!!

They want evidence? Damned republican appointed Liberal Judges, not accepting Donald Trump's hearsay or imaginary fever-induced hallucinations as evidence. If that's not biased I don't know what is.

8. I'm going to go out on a limb here

And guess that these additional "observers" wouldn't be wearing face masks, or washing their hands while observing. Several will try to use their phones' cameras to take close-up pictures of names, addresses and other ballot details.

At least one will be wearing a "BBQ...Beer...Freedumb" t-shirt, and screaming at anyone who'd listen.

As Lionel Hutz said, "That's a kind of evidence."
