Ginsberg, who was central to the 2000 presidential election recount in Florida that ended with George W. Bush as president, said not one lawsuit the campaign filed alleging voter fraud had merit.

“I’ve looked into more than 60 [suits] including more than 180 accounts, and the simple fact is that the Trump campaign did not make its case,” Ginsberg told Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), who led his questioning.
“More than half of those cases that you mentioned were dismissed [in] the procedural stage for a lack of standing and proper people didn’t bring the case,” he continued, after she gave an overview of the 61 out of 62 election fraud cases that failed.
Lofgren concluded her questioning by calling the lawsuits abuses of the judicial system.
“As we’ve just heard from perhaps the most preeminent Republican election lawyer in recent history, the Trump campaign’s unprecedented effort to overturn its election in court was a deeply damaging abuse of the judicial process,” she said. “This was a coup in search of a legal theory.”

Ginsberg testified along with other top advisers to former President Donald Trump during the second hearing out of six to be held this month.
Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien was supposed to be another star witness today but was unable to appear due to his wife going into labor. The focus of this second hearing was to show that Trump knew his election fraud claims were false but still tried to maintain power.
