Former President Donald Trump to this day refuses to admit losing in the election, asserting fraud claims and contesting results in swing states. This week, the Supreme Court dismissed the last of Trump’s election result appeals, ending a long-winded battle to overturn the results in his favor.
The last of the three cases filed by Trump and his allies to the Supreme Court was dismissed Monday, the cases challenging his election loss to Joe Biden. The court dismissed the case without comment, which involved challenging the election results in Wisconsin that went in Biden’s favor with a margin of over 20,000 votes. Back in February, the Supreme Court dismissed the first two of Trump’s appeals which also involved the results in Wisconsin and voting in Pennsylvania. The lower courts have already dismissed the cases by Trump, amounting to over 60 failed legal challenges.
Despite only dismissing the cases recently, the justices had already made the decision not to intervene in the cases and in the other appeals filed by Trump’s allies. This was because Trump and his allies failed to act before the certification of Biden’s election victory on January 6. Certification of Biden’s victory took place hours after a pro-Trump mob stormed in the Capitol in an attempt to stop the formal counting of votes cast by the electoral college. Biden was sworn in on January 20 with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232.
Aside from Trump’s appeal, the court also declined to hear a case filed by Trump’s ally Lin Wood, who asked the Justices to block the Senate runoffs in Georgia on January 5. The Supreme Court declined and Democrats won both races against their Republican incumbent counterparts giving the Democratic party the narrow majority in the Senate.
Due to the insurrection, Trump has been permanently banned from most social media platforms including his often-used platform, Twitter. Recently, the social media platform filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in a federal court in California. Twitter also asked a judge to block Paxton from investigating the company.
Twitter seeks to stop Paxton from using his position as a state attorney general to “intimidate, harass, and target Twitter in retaliation for Twitter’s exercise of its First Amendment rights.”
