The Supreme Court said Monday that it will not take up a longshot challenge to Donald Trump’s eligibility to run for president because of his alleged role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
The case was brought by John Anthony Castro, a little-known candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, who sued Trump earlier this year in an effort to disqualify him from running for president and holding the office “given his alleged provision of aid or comfort to the convicted criminals and insurrectionist that violently attacked our United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”
The case was denied without any comment or recorded vote.

Little forgotten fact about the Janurary 6th event (I'm not naming names here) is that elections have almost always been contended at the certifying of a vote. I know things like butterfly ballots and discriminating at polling places are common. Trump lost in the same manner that almost every election in the history of our country has been conducted, not flawlessly. Having said that, there has to be a winner and that is decided by those in states that certify and electors. The certification was in favor of Biden. Therefore, Biden became president. No election is completely honest but at least this isn't Mexico or Russia.
Nothing is easier than defending the status quo.
