Key BackgroundPowell brought her battleground state lawsuits after the Trump campaign distanced itself from the attorney when she began spreading the Dominion conspiracy theory, which has been wholly debunked. The attorney’s lawsuits are part of a broader post-election legal effort by the Trump campaign and GOP allies to challenge Biden’s victory, which has been almost entirely unsuccessful. According to a tally kept by Democratic Party attorney Marc Elias, Republican plaintiffs have so far lost or withdrawn more than 50 cases and only netted one minor win. Powell’s court failure in Arizona also came one day after the Arizona Supreme Court denied the state’s Republican Party chair’s attempt to challenge the election results, ruling unanimously Tuesday that GOP chairwoman Kelli Ward did not provide sufficient evidence of fraud or “any evidence of ‘misconduct,’ ‘illegal votes’ or that the Biden Electors ‘did not in fact receive the highest number of votes for office.’”What To Watch ForThe Trump campaign still has outstanding cases in federal and state court in Wisconsin, which will be heard Thursday, and Powell has already appealed her losses in Georgia and Michigan and is likely to do the same with Wednesday’s rulings. The attorney has suggested she hopes to take her cases to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ward has also suggested she could take her challenge of Arizona’s election results to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying in a video message Wednesday that she was “preparing about what to do next.”Further ReadingSidney Powell’s Georgia Lawsuit Gets Thrown Out In Court (Forbes)
