1. You are wrong. Go to the link. The Trump lawsuit dropped the original Counts I & II of the complaint, the ones alleging violations of law arising from denial of observation of the vote. It deleted paragraph ii of the prayer for relief. https://www.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057/gov.uscourts.pamd.127057.125.1.pdf … https://twitter.com/PereGrimmer/status/1328360849522765824 …

3. I realize this is a distinction sometimes lost on non-lawyers. Sometimes, you still think something is true, but for various reasons of law or evidence you stop trying to use it to get a court to rule in your favor. Judging by the revised complaint, that's what happened here.

4. To any lawyer, the counts in the complaint & the prayer for relief are where you look to see WHAT THE PLAINTIFF IS ASKING THE COURT TO DO. Which is the bottom line in any civil lawsuit. They asked to throw out votes on this basis, & have now withdrawn that.pic.twitter.com/FuhWLQojkO

5. This is, in fact, precisely why courts ask plaintiffs to submit this kind of markup of a revised complaint, so the court and the defendant can see exactly what changed in the lawsuit when a complaint was revised.

They’re still claiming it happened & was bad. But instead of wasting time trying to have that claim separately adjudicated, they’ve shifted to simply using it as additional evidence to support their primary objective: blowing the whole thing up & preventing certification

Since they aren’t asking for relief, the court will simply ignore their factual statements as irrelevant, right? Vs make a determination about their claims about the 600k ballots. So then they can claim “facts” that “were in legal filings” or some nonsense like that.

Not having observers close enough to see the ballots (a legit problem, tbh) is not sufficient to invalidate any votes that were counted. It was a pointless averment that diluted the claim--even if correct. But also, the complaint was a mess and horribly drafted.
