2020 ELECTION/LAWSUIT: “Plaintiffs aligned with President Donald Trump in four states on Monday [Nov. 16, 2020] abruptly dropped recently filed lawsuits challenging ballots seen as giving President-elect Joe Biden his margin of victory in those locales.

The dismissals of the cases, which all involved plaintiffs represented by lawyer James Bopp and the conservative group True the Vote, occurred in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The cases are among a group filed by backers of Trump and the president’s own campaign as part of an effort to reverse Biden’s projected win in the national race for the White House…

With all 50 states’ results projected as of last Friday, Biden has 306 Electoral College votes, 36 more than he needs for victory, compared with just 232 votes for Trump.”
