US President Donald Trump unwaveringly continues the wave of lawsuits against the result of the US election.

Now a bitter mishap in Georgia has been exposed.

  • US President Donald Trump *

    fails with most of the lawsuits against the result of the US election in 2020 *.

  • Although a defeat in

    Pennsylvania is

    particularly heavy, his personal

    lawyer Rudy Giuliani

    wants to

    keep fighting for Trump.

  • Meanwhile, with each

    defeat in court,

    the number of his Republican supporters diminishes.

Update from November 17, 5:15 p.m.:

More and more Republicans are turning away from the outgoing US President

Donald Trump

.

The

Washington Post

said that leading Republicans had recently described Trump in a conference call as a "political burden" and

previously viewed

Joe Biden's

victory

as likely.

The President's refusal to admit defeat to the 46th US President is causing an

uproar

in the

Republican Party

.

An anonymous source quoted

Senator David Perdue

, who is running for a

run-off election against Democrat

Jon Ossoff

for a Senate

seat

in

Georgia

, as follows: While

Perdue

believes

in Trump, “We assume we will stand here alone.

And that means that we have to vote no matter what the outcome of that decision in two states and some lawsuits and others emerges from the recount.

Kelly and I can't wait. ”Republican Senator

Kelly Loeffler

is also up for re-election to the

Georgia

Senate

.

Also, according to the

Washington Post,

David Perdue

said, "I'm talking about people who might have voted for Biden but might come back and vote for us because there was

an anti-Trump vote

in

Georgia

," Perdue said.

“And we believe that some of these people, especially in the suburbs, could come back to us.

And I hope so. ”Perdue acts like other formerly loyal

Trump supporters

in the

Republican Party

.

He stands behind Trump, but is also aware that

Donald Trump's

presidency is coming to an end.

If

David Perdue

and

Kelly Loeffler

on 5 January losing their seats, and the possibility of blockade would

Republicans

in 

Congress

 passé.

US election 2006: breakdown in Georgia - More than 2,600 votes are only now emerging

Update from November 17, 12:30 p.m.:

More than 2,600 votes were

overlooked

in the state of

Georgia

.

The Hill

newspaper

reports that these have now appeared in the vote recount - in Floyd County.

A mishap that, according to the head of the electoral system, was due to a human error.

The Hill

writes that

Donald Trump can

apparently expect 800 more votes.

This fact cannot change the election result itself, as Joe Biden leads Georgia with almost 13,000 votes.

Luke Martin, the

Republican

party leader

in the affected constituency, said it "doesn't seem like this is a widespread problem."

First report from November 16, 6 p.m .:

Pennsylvania - The fact that the incumbent

President Donald Trump *

continues to refuse to

admit

his

election defeat is

keeping the

US

in suspense.

With an immensely expensive

wave of lawsuits

and the demand for

recounts

, Trump still wants to

avert

the victory of his

democratic challenger

- and meanwhile "President-Elect" -

Joe Biden *

in some states, although experts attest him only negligibly small chances of success.

Last week, a court gave

Trump

a small

success

and

invalidated

some postal votes in

Pennsylvania

.

Otherwise the

Republicans

and their lawyers have so far been largely unsuccessful.

US President Trump: Will a wave of lawsuits lead him to re-election?

in eight out of 16 cases there were defeats

The

New York Times

writes of

a total of

16 lawsuits

:

Half of them have already been rejected; the

Conservatives

in

Michigan,

for example

, were thrown from

a lawsuit and an appeal in

Pennsylvania

.

The air for the

Republicans

in court is now apparently getting thinner, so that

Trump's

lawyers have

already

withdrawn their lawsuits

in two cases

due to a lack of prospects of success.

This was

the case

in

Arizona

, for example

.

Five cases are still under negotiation, one in

Michigan

, two in

Pennsylvania

, one in

Nevada

and one in

Wisconsin

.

If you believe the

New York Times

,

Trump

doesn't have good cards here either.

Among other things, the well-known

law firm

Porter Wright Morris & Arthur

announced that they would no longer work with

Trump

on election fraud campaigns - but no official reason was given.

Shortly afterwards, the largest law firm in the

United States

,

Jones Day

, also declared its collaboration with

Trump

over.

While

Trump could

potentially

lose support

within the

Republican Party

with every defeat in court

,

Rudy Giuliani remains

a prominent ally at his side.

US election on video: Trump holds on to allegations of election fraud

But

Giuliani

, closest adviser and personal lawyer of the incumbent, but ousted president had reportedly posted bitter defeat: In Pennsylvania, a legal team, according to retired

Washington Post

one

main complaint

back.

It is about the claim that

no Republican observers were allowed

on

election day November 3rd

.

This allegation apparently turned out to be baseless, so that Trump's lawyers backed down in court.

Trump

himself had repeatedly relied on this accusation and

propagated

it especially on

Twitter

- so the news should have hit him quite a bit.

But anyone who now thinks that

Trump

will

no longer go to court

in

Pennsylvania

is clearly wrong.

Trump's campaign spokesman

Tim Murtaugh

announced on Monday at least on

Twitter

that

682,479 absentee votes

would

still be

sued,

allegedly - according to the

Republicans'

allegation

- "secretly" counted

in "swing state"

Pennsylvania

.

On Friday,

Murtaugh made a

polemical

claim

that the “left mob” cracked down on the lawyers who withdrew the lawsuits until they collapsed under the pressure.

Who will be US President?

Trump's team is making new allegations in Pennsylvania

According to a report by the

AP

agency

, the

“restructured” lawsuit by Trump's team is

not based on this allegation, but on the thesis in some - predominantly democratic - counties, voters were given the opportunity

to improve

ballot papers

because of a formal error

.

That did not happen in counties that were dominated by the Republic.

Here one sees an unequal treatment.

This story is completely erroneous.

Our lawsuit in Pennsylvania absolutely still makes an issue of the 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots that were counted in secret.



To write that we had scrapped that argument requires not reading the amended complaint.

- Tim Murtaugh (@TimMurtaugh) November 16, 2020

Despite Trump's efforts,

Joe Biden's team

is surprisingly calm and publicly classifies the lawsuits as pure

"theater"

.

Trump,

on the other hand, continues to say that the election could ultimately be

decided

by the

Supreme Court in Washington

.

Six of the nine judges there are now considered to be conservative *, as

Trump appointed

three of them himself.

Legal experts believe it is

impossible

- mainly because of

Biden's

comparatively large lead in many states - that

the US Supreme Court

could overturn

the

election result

due to the individual lawsuits.

Excuse me, Mr. President @realDonaldTrump



Sir, You've LOST your Re-Election



Sir, It's Time for you to CONCEDE



Sir, It's Time for you to have some DIGNITY



Sir, It's Time for you to GO

The fact that

Trump

still refuses to acknowledge his defeat makes

the handover extremely difficult

for

Biden

- support for the incumbent is actually provided for by law for the transition.

With Republicans

continuing to publicly

portray

Biden's election victory

as uncertain,

Trump

gains

time to plan any next legal steps.

By December

8,

the states certify their

election results

and report them to Washington.

On

December 14th,

the

538 electors

vote and elect the new president and his deputy.

On

January 6

, the result will be announced in Congress and on

January 20

the new president is solemnly sworn in.
