They did and were dismissed. Why? Because had no damn evidence for their claims. They are now trying to cancel millions of mail in votes. I’ve never seen anything more coward, tactless and boorish than the people supporting this whole charade. I am completely and unequivocally disgusted by these people who would rather burn everything down than acknowledge loss

Affidavits are evidence. Are you simply implying the affidavits are all lying and want to cut short the ruling?

  Affidavits are not evidence if you never submit them. Rudy Giuliani has been going around having people signing affidavits that he never subits to court as evidence (they would then be subject to perjury laws). I can't believe this tactic is fooling some literate people.

    No court has let them submit evidence. Maybe SCOTUS will maybe not. Don't act like they have had a chance to submit evidence yet.

      Do you seriously believe that the courts are simply not letting the Trump team make their case? That they tried to submit evidence but they couldn't? You really need to evaluate your news sources. In Pennsylvania Rudy Giuliani said in court that there was no fraud when he was questioned in the slightest about his claim of widespread voter fraud. “this is not a fraud case.” Of course, they failed to provide evidence too, not even any of those affidavits. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/giuliani-pennsylvania-court-appearance/2020/11/18/ad7288dc-2941-11eb-92b7-6ef17b3fe3b4_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/giuliani-pennsylvani...

  Affidavits are not evidence until they're presented to a court. There has been no evidence.

    This appears to be some sort of "technicality" narrative that's being used to quickly and without effort/discussion dismiss the election fraud claims arising from the witness affidavits. The affidavits exist, representing people that claim to have witnessed certain things. So in a reasonable society with good discourse, we should be saying "wow, that looks serious, so many people claim they witnessed crimes." followed by "let's all do our best to get these infront of a court/judge, or get the government entities investigating it so they can be resolved/dismissed formally". Instead, we get information suppression/dismissal on the part of Youtube and news outlets, and internet lawyers dismissing things because "it hasn't gone in front of a court yet". Come on man, let's solve this and either dismiss them fully or get them investigated. Otherwise we're just perpetuating "conspiracy theories" and then turning around and complaining about how half the population believes in conspiracy theories.

      Stop. Just stop. There have been dozens of cases submitted to various courts. Those courts evaluated the evidence presented and dismissed the cases out of hand. What do you think the court does when it dismisses a case? Do you think it just randomly chooses cases to dismiss? Don't pretend that hasn't happened. Don't conflate what is playing out in the media and what has happened in the court system.

        So who am I supposed to argue with here? The other guy that said "affidavits aren't evidence because they haven't been submitted to courts", or you that say that "things have been submitted to various courts and dismissed". Which one is it? Either way, I'm not going to stop arguing for reasonable discourse and getting to the bottom of things.
