US Supreme Court rejects Trump's bid to overturn election results, reaffirms Biden's win

In latest blow for Donald Trump in resisting his defeat in US Election 2020, Supreme Court on December 11 rejected a bid by Texas’ attorney general to block ballot of voters in battleground states that declared president-elect Joe Biden as winner. As per CNN report, it is one of strongest indications yet that Trump will be first US president in nearly 30 years to lose in his reelection bid to Democratic challenger, Biden and has chance of overturning election results. Moreover, even justices that Trump had appointed have interest in paying heed to incumbent’s desperate legal bids to continue. 

lawsuit was reportedly filed by Texas attorney and a strong Trump supporter, Ken Paxton to invalidate election results in states including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin. Even though Trump had his legal team on December 10 intensify ir campaign and nearly 18 states had joined Texas in its election lawsuit, Electoral College will finally convene on Monday to affirm Biden’s victory. lawsuit filed by Paxton eventually drew support by several Republican attorneys general and or GOP lawmakers to mount pressure on US Supre Court. 

CNN Supreme Court analyst and University of Texas Law professor, Steve Vladeck reportedly said, “From a legal perspective, fat lady has sung”. Several weeks after results were called out for vember 3 elections, Trump along with his staunch supporters have been promoting baseless claims about ‘fraud’ in voting and referring to democratic process as ‘rigged’. This had paved way for more conspiracy ories and protests about Trump’s second term being stolen.
