The public and other individuals should not have to pay for the costs of this election fraud nonsense which has no evidence nor any basis in fact. If it did, they would have shown some.
(oh, but Mike Lindell . . . yeah, right.)

The judge was fair. It is all out in the open. If they had any actual evidence they should have actually presented it. Woah! What an idea! If they think the judge and/or trial was unfair, biased, etc that is one of the reasons you can appeal. Because the trial was unfair. (You don't get to appeal because you don't like the outcome, only because there was something wrong with the process of how the outcome was arrived at.)
It seems pretty fair that if you have zero evidence of election fraud, and are filing a suit merely for publicity purposes, that you should not only lose, but you should have to pay the defendant's costs in defending from this farsical nonsense.
I keep hearing that there is some evidence that Trump won the election. I have yet to see any. Some grand conspiracy. Voting machine rigging by dead dictators. Bamboo. And all sorts of other outlandish claims.
