“소송전 치닫는 美 대선”...트럼프, 미시간•조지아 1심 패소
With the U.S. presidential election appearing to slip away from President Trump, he has been on a legal rampage, challenging several states over their voting results.
Things aren't going his way at the moment, though... as judges in two states have rejected the Trump campaign's lawsuits.
Han Seong-woo has the details. U.S. President Donald Trump has lost his legal fights in Georgia and Michigan.
Judges for each state on Thursday, local time, tossed the Trump campaign's lawsuits out, citing lack of evidence.
In the Georgia case, the Trump campaign alleged that ballots which arrived late had been mixed with those that came on-time.
And in Michigan, where CNN projects Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to have won, Trump had sought to suspend vote counting and gain better access to the tallying process.
The rulings came as Biden inches closer to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to enter the White House.
Not willing to give up easily, Trump and his campaign are pushing for even more legal action, most notably in Nevada.
"We firmly believe that there are many voters in this group of mail in people that are not proper voters. In the last many days we have received reports of many irregularities across the valley. We believe that there are dead voters that have been counted."
But no evidence to support their claims of irregularities was given and campaign officials did not answer questions from reporters.
Despite the possibility of more appeals, experts are saying that Trump’s legal strategy is unlikely to have a decisive impact on the outcome of the election.
