Reading through the decision now. I'm at the point where the judge points out that Team Trump is making contradictory claims about ballot curing.

imagine if he were directing all this time and resources to managing his covid response at a moment when the pandemic is at the most critical point it has been in 8 months

what's funny is that even minimal effort would have handed him the election. just "yo this doc fauci guy is pretty smart. i hire the smartest docs, so let's do what he says ok?"

TL;DR summary:

The court can't do anything about the Republican counties not allowing ballots to be cured because they were not a party to the lawsuit. Democrat counties allowing votes to be cured represents an extension of opportunity to vote, not a disenfranchisement so there are no grounds there. Team Trump failed to show or even claim that the directive to allow ballot curing from the Secretary of State was not uniformly offered and Bush v. Gore explicitly allows for differences in administering elections between counties.

Pollwatching claims are dismissed because both parties had equal access regardless of how far away they were required to stand.

Also the court does not have the legal authority to dismiss legally cast ballots and declare Trump the winner as redress in any circumstance.

Trumpers tend to make a lot of issues needlessly partisan.

The introduction is actually pretty entertaining. It puts the whole Trump strategy into perspective.
