With the Supreme Court's blunt summary dismissal of Texas v. Pennsylvania for lack of standing, the effort of Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the result of the presidential election in the courts has reached the end of the road. The court's decision confirms what has been evident from the outset. This legal campaign was marked by accusations of fraud unsupported by evidence, by legal theories that went beyond the creative to the fanciful to the downright bizarre, and by demands that alleged violations of state election procedural law be used to invalidate the entire election without any evidence that the violations had affected the result. The argument ultimately boiled down to the circular proposition that the absence of evidence of fraud was itself evidence that fraud must have occurred because Democrats had made it impossible to prove.
