A federal appeals court on Saturday rejected a bid by conservative lawyer Linwood to block President elect Joe Biden's victory in Georgia.

The appeals court in Atlanta agreed with a lower court, saying would had failed to allege a particular rised injury, and the request was moot anyway.

Since Georgia had already certified the election, the court added in its ruling Quote.

We may not entertain post election contest about garden variety issues of vote counting and misconduct that may properly be filed in state courts.

The court also left in place procedures that will make it easier for voters to cast absentee ballots in Georgia's upcoming Senate runoff elections, which will determine whether Republicans or Democrats control the upper chamber.

On Friday, Trump's campaign said it filed a lawsuit in Georgia state court or also seeking to invalidate the presidential election results there.

The campaign said its new lawsuit would include sworn statements from Georgia residents alleging fraud.

Trump on Saturday went after Raffles, Burger and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp again tweeting, I will easily and quickly win Georgia if Governor Brian Kemp or the secretary of state permit a simple signature verification because its massive fraud.

Some Republicans have raised concerns that Trump, in undermining the voting process, could convince some of his backers that there is no point in voting in January's runoff elections, thus hurting the Republican incumbents.

 Trump's team and various individuals backing him have suffered a string of legal defeats around the country, including cases filed in Nevada and Wisconsin that also sought to reverse election results.
