The U.S. Supreme Court turned away eight appeals stemming from the 2020 presidential election fight, dealing a series of rebuffs to former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies.
The rejections include appeals filed in December to try to overturn President Joe Biden’s election victories in five key states. The court had signaled months ago it wasn’t interested in hearing the appeals, which claimed without foundation that Biden’s wins were the product of widespread fraud, caused in part by the use of mail-in ballots.
