No, to get into court, a charge or accusation is leveled and it is stated that evidence will be presented to support the charge or accusation.
not quite correct. it must be shown to the judge that a case can be made and evedence will be presented to prove the point..
IN the SC case the obvious ruling as expected was that Texas or any state has no business in how another state runs their elections.. and that was the end of that.. clear and expected.
Each of the others 60 or 80 or whatever, also had to present reasons why the court should handle the case.. they failed..
It would be nice if courts talked in language that I could understand but they never will. have to show how much more they know then the low life of america..
One example..
The Trump campaign asked the court to halt the counting of absentee ballots. As proof that misconduct was occurring, it provided an affidavit from one of its election observers, Jessica Connarn.
She said an unnamed poll worker had told her the dates on some mail-in ballots were being changed, leading to invalid votes being counted.
Judge Stephens ruled that Ms Connarn’s testimony, based on third-hand information, was hearsay and therefore inadmissable.
“This evidence is inadmissable as hearsay. The assertion that Connarn was informed by an unknown individual what ‘other hired poll workers at her table’ had been told is inadmissable hearsay within hearsay, and plaintiffs have provided no hearsay exception for either level of hearsay,” she said.
That’s what a judge sounds like when they are being sassy, by the way. Judicial slapdowns tend to be dry and very, very nerdy. You’ll be reading more of them as we continue.
The campaign’s complaint also alleged that Eric Ostegren, another observer, was “excluded” from the ballot review process. Judge Stephens said the claim was too vague.
“The complaint does not specify when, where or by whom plaintiff was excluded. Nor does the complaint provide any details about why the alleged exclusion occurred,” she wrote.
