If you are still clinging to hope for Trump, his legal strategy was dealt an effective death blow by a legendary conservative judge today. Trump went 0-9 today, bringing his legal record to 1-20, with the 1 win being meaningless in the big picture.
In a decision by the Federal Appeals Court that was handed down by two very conservative jurists, they invoked a Supreme Court case called Purcell. Under the Purcell principle, courts should not change election rules during the period of time just prior to an election because doing so could confuse voters and create problems for officials administering the election. The principle takes its name from Purcell v. Gonzalez, in which the Supreme Court reversed an October 2006 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit blocking an Arizona voter ID law during that year’s midterm election. The district court had initially denied the plaintiffs’ preliminary motion to block the law. The 9th Circuit’s ruling blocked the law until an appeal on the merits could be heard, in effect changing the rules for the November election. The Supreme Court based its decision on the short amount of time between the 9th Circuit’s order and the election, the need of Arizona election officials for clear guidance, and the 9th Circuit’s lack of an explanation for its decision.
This is a big blow to Trump as it essentially says that the courts should not be changing any election rules. this ruling doesn’t just impact the case in PA that it was specific to, but puts a major dent in his entire legal strategy.

Of course, they are free to appeal. What you guys are missing here is that this was a ruling handed down that invalidated his strategy across the country, not just specific to the individual case AND it was given by two very conservative judges, one of whom is a legend in conservative judicial circles. And keep in mind, that is IF the Supreme Court decides that they want to weigh in.
The was a VERY significant loss. They have yet to have a single meaningful court win.
