"Election lawsuits 'public relations nightmare'"

Well duh that should have been obvious when you took the case.


Trump law firm withdraws from Pennsylvania case challenging election
The abrupt withdrawal overnight is a blow to the president’s efforts to overturn the result of the vote in court


(Guardian UK) A major law firm withdrew overnight from a Trump campaign case in Pennsylvania seeking to have mail-in ballots thrown out, in the latest blow to the president’s efforts to challenge the 2020 election result in court.

The Ohio-based Porter Wright Morris & Arthur firm, which brought a suit on Monday alleging that the use of mail-in ballots had created “an illegal two-tiered voting system” in the state, abruptly withdrew from that case in a memo to the court.

“Plaintiffs and Porter Wright have reached a mutual agreement that plaintiffs will be best served if Porter Wright withdraws,” the memo said. The lead lawyer in the case, the Pittsburgh-based Ronald L Hicks Jr, did not immediately reply to a request for comment. The news was first reported by the New York Times.

Unlike most lawsuits brought by the Trump campaign, which targeted small pools of votes whose exclusion would not change the election result, the Porter Wright suit challenged nearly 2.65m votes that were cast by mail, the majority by Democrats. ...............(more)

1. The Trump admin started bringing suits against PA mail-in voting back in April

And now you want to argue AFTER the election that there's a problem with mail-voting you didn't mention in the 6 months prior (and because you lost) ... and disenfranchise 2,650,000 American voters?

FUCK RIGHT OFF with that shit.

Judge will laugh it out of court.

Sounds like this law firm is has woken up to the fact that this is very bad look.

3. Exactly.

Isn't there a part of law that barrs someone from bringing these types of lawsuits after the fact? Judges should start levying punishments for these ridiculous "lawsuits".

2. I think some reputable lawyers are starting to fear for their bar credentials...

filing frivolous lawsuits ain't good for your career.
