You just made a listen of unsubstantiated lies. Trump and his team had dozens of opportunities to provide ANY evidence of ANY of these lies to many different judges and they failed to every single time. If the full power of the Executive branch and an army of lawyers can't find evidence to show to judges, what makes you think any of the lies are true?

Lack of standing is lack of standing. It's not the courts job to hear random facts about things that aren't cases.

They did get to present cases where they had standing, and lost them. Guiliani couldn't even tell a judge whether he was alleging fraud or not. That doesn't mean they get to go to another court to present the same thing.

"denied opportunities to present evidence"

What? They could present it to the media. They could leak it. Trump could make a nationally televised speech to the American people.

How about you acknowledge that there is zero hard evidence of any of the lies coming out of the Trump administration.

"Ignorance of it at this point is willful."

Very true.
