Dominion has denied Trump’s allegations. Powell and Wood have publicly stated their agreement with Trump’s allegations and have filed lawsuits in an attempt to substantiate the claims.

On Wednesday, Powell filed a lawsuit seeking to have some Dominion voting machines inspected by Republican voters. It is unclear whether members of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals have the authority to hear the appeal. On Friday, Powell entered a conference accusing the court of allowing the circumstances to be resolved. Judge Andrew Fraser of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Georgia dismissed the appeal. Fraser was nominated to Trump Court in 2019 and was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in February.

“This appeal arises from last-minute lawsuits that allege election-related misconduct and seeks major relief,” Fraser wrote. However, Fraser ruled that his court had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

“Since we have no jurisdiction, the appeal was rejected and the motion accordingly
The permitted appeal was DENIED, “the judgment said.” Since we have to dismiss this appeal, the defendants’ conditional cross-appeal is also dismissed. Any other pending movements are DENIED AS MOOT. “

Fraser’s decision was the latest blow to the Trump campaign’s efforts to overturn the election results in Georgia. On Friday, after reconsidering three votes, Georgia’s president-elect Joe Biden predicted victory in the state election. According to the Associated Press, Biden received 49.5 percent of Georgia’s popular vote and Trump 49.3 percent.

Newsweek Trump approached the campaign for feedback.

On Friday, the Trump campaign filed a separate lawsuit in Georgia demanding that the state election results be invalidated. This filing includes affidavits from those involved in the voting process in Georgia.

Trump’s chief adviser. Smith III said in a news release on Friday. “Massive irregularities, mistakes and potential fraud violate the Georgia election code, making it impossible to know for sure the true outcome of the presidential race in Georgia.”
