In the aftermath of the 2020 election, Donald Trump and his allies filed over 60 lawsuits to overturn results in states he lost. Courts rejected all of Trump’s attempts to halt the certification of election results—except for one decision, reported Bolts Magazine.
Patricia McCullough, a Pennsylvania appeals court
judge, issued
an order in late November to halt certification of the state’s
elections. It was a rare bright spot for Trump’s “Stop the Steal” crusade and
its false claims of electoral impropriety, but his victory was short-lived.
Within days, Pennsylvania’s supreme court unanimously reversed her
ruling and shut down the case by dismissing it with prejudice.
The case, the justices ruled,
offered an “extraordinary proposition that the court disenfranchise all 6.9
million Pennsylvanians who voted in the General Election.” The state supreme
court has since repeatedly reversed McCullough in other election cases,
including overturning a
ruling she joined last
year against the state’s expanded mail-in voting rules, and rejecting her
advice that the state adopt a Republican-drawn redistricting
proposal.
McCullough is now running to join the court that so
directly questioned her judgment. The death of
Democratic Chief Justice Max Baer in October has left a vacancy that voters
will fill this year. The winner will join this swing state’s high court and
hear cases that touch the 2024 election, just as Trump vies to be on the ballot
once more.
