Trump campaign attorney Jordan Sekulow insisted on Thursday amid defeats in court that President Trump has a path to victory.
In an interview with Newsmax TV, he said the Trump campaign cases argue that there was enough fraud in the elections in swing states to cast doubt on the outcome. The remedy, he said, should be to put the outcome in the hands of the state legislatures that select electors to the Electoral College. The electors are selected Dec. 8 and the vote is Dec. 14.
The most likely path, however, he said, would be for the U.S. Supreme Court to combine cases from several states that would together determine the outcome of the election.
“That’s why we have a stay in Pennsylvania on those late incoming ballots, where the law was changed because the court is waiting to see whether enough cases arrive at the Supreme Court that will change the outcome of the election,” he said.
Responding to critics and doubters, including Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sekulow said he understands the concerns with earlier lawsuits that are more difficult to prove, “these massive fraud allegations.”
“But what we’re now seeing is very specific,” he said. “You’re starting to see the outcome of these lawsuits.”
He cited cases in Arizona, Nevada and Georgia in which judges have orders in place that are favorable to the Trump campaign.
