“NV Supreme Court denies Trump campaign lawsuit seeking overturn of presidential election” (This happened, last night, within the safe harbor)

Nevada Independent:

The Nevada Supreme Court has ruled unanimously to dismiss an appeal filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign seeking to overturn the state’s presidential election results.

Members of the court wrote in a 6-0 opinion published late Tuesday that the Trump campaign had failed to show any serious errors or flaws in Carson City District Court Judge James Russell’s order last week that would warrant a reversal. Russell’s order denied the campaign’s election contest lawsuit amid findings that the campaign had not backed up its claims of mass voter fraud throwing the state’s presidential election results into doubt.

The three page order states that the Trump campaign failed to identify any direct “unsupported factual findings” in Russell’s order that it wished to challenge under the appeal, and the court itself has “identified none.”

“To prevail on this appeal, appellants must demonstrate error of law, findings of fact not supported by substantial evidence, or an abuse of discretion in the admission or rejection of evidence by the district court,” members of the court wrote in their order. “We are not convinced they have done so.”
