This Judge Shutting Down Trump Lawsuit Over Early Voting Is Best Thing Today (So Far)

Today the Trump campaign lawyers' worst nightmare is a judge who has observed The Deplorables' behavior on Twitter, and clearly has an idea about the Republican Party and their desire to prevent "certain people" from exercising their right to vote. CNN reports that Trump's campaign asked for the votes taken after the polls were supposed to close (but exercised by people who were in line at closing time) be set aside by the County Clerk, Joe Gloria, to determine their legality. Trump's lawyers also asked that the election "records be preserved" as if to claim that election officials are shredding evidence. Or something. The judge had no time for that malarkey either. CNN:
"I am not ordering him (Gloria) to preserve anything," she said, adding, "This is Election Day. He has other things to be doing."
The registrar's office said in a statement that the Trump campaign's request to preserve the records "is required by state law, and so it is something we are already doing."
