With this action
The Trump Campaign
Seeks to discard 
millions of votes 
legally cast 

by Pennsylvanians 
from all corners – 
from Greene County 
to Pike County
everywhere in between
In other words, 
Plaintiffs ask this Court 
to disenfranchise 
almost seven million voters. 
 
This Court has been unable to find 
any case in which a plaintiff has sought 
such a drastic remedy
in the contest of an election, 

in terms of the sheer volume of votes 
asked to be invalidated. 
One might expect
that when seeking 
such a startling outcome, 

a plaintiff would come formidably armed 
with compelling legal arguments 
and factual proof of rampant corruption, 
such that this Court would have no option 

but to regrettably grant 
the proposed injunctive relief 
despite the impact it would have 
on such a large group of citizens. 

That has not happened. 
Instead, this Court has been presented 
with strained legal arguments without merit 
and speculative accusations, 

unpled in the operative complaint 
and unsupported by evidence. 
In the United States of America, 
this cannot justify the 

disenfranchisement 
of a single voter, 
let alone all the voters 
of its sixth most populated state. 

Our people, laws, and institutions demand more
At bottom, Plaintiffs have failed to meet their burden 
to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. 

Therefore, I grant Defendants’ motions 
To dismiss Plaintiffs’ action 
with prejudice.
