Nearing the end: trial to resume this morning

The Court has reconvened this morning at 9:00 AM for the second to last day of Week Two in the election contest trial. There is one more day of trial left after today.

In the News Tribune this morning:

Republicans zeroed in on the illegal vote and fraud approaches when they presented their case last week. Last Friday, they began prodding Bridges to reverse his earlier ruling.

With Bridges expected to rule Friday, that seems unlikely. But after court Wednesday, the seventh day of a scheduled nine-day trial, they touted the judge’s comments as a step to reconsideration.

Again, according to accounts like these, it seems Bridges will rule on Friday. But who really knows? And the GOP is clearly pushing it too far by asking Bridges to reconsider a prior ruling. They really seem to be getting pretty desperate.
