Federal judge throws out Gohmert lawsuit asking Pence to interfere in Electoral College count

Judge Jeremy Kernodle said Gohmert and the others lacked standing to sue.

Gohmert’s suit was part of the desperate and extraordinary GOP attempt to overturn the presidential election using baseless and unproven allegations of mass voter fraud and charging that multiple states that President-elect Joe Biden won illegally changed their voting rules due to the pandemic. Those arguments have failed dozens of times in state and federal courts over the past two months.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.
