In that court, Judge Matthew Brann, who was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2012 but is a Republican and a member of the Federalist Society, according to his Senate questionnaire, on Nov. 21 dismissed the complaint with prejudice, meaning that the campaign can’t file that complaint again on the same basis.

Brann took the campaign to task for what he described as “strained legal arguments without merit” and called one of its claims “Frankenstein’s Monster” — an argument that has been “haphazardly stitched together from two distinct theories in an attempt to avoid controlling precedent, ” per the opinion.

After Brann’s decision, the Trump campaign released a statement that oddly seemed to welcome the dismissal.

“Today’s decision turns out to help us in our strategy to get expeditiously to the U. S. Supreme Court, ” the campaign said. “Although we fully disagree with this opinion, we’re thankful to the Obama-appointed judge for making this anticipated decision quickly, rather than simply trying to run out the clock. We will be seeking an expedited appeal to the Third Circuit. ”

Then, after Bibas’s opinion, campaign attorney Jenna Ellis issued a statement on Twitter from her and Giuliani claiming that the “activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud. ” Ellis has not responded to emailed questions from Yahoo News. In Georgia, where attorneys including Trump supporter Lin Wood filed a suit on Nov. 25 alleging a voting-machine conspiracy linked to Venezuela, U. S. Northern District Judge Timothy C. Batten denied a request from attorneys to prohibit the defendants — Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — from destroying or altering data on any Dominion voting machine in Cobb, Gwinnett and Cherokee counties, according to a transcript from a Nov. 29 hearing shared by Democracy Docket.
