The recent debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was controversial for many reasons. Not the least is the blatant bias of the ABC moderators. Multiple so-called 'Fact Checks' were targeted at The Donald while none, zero, zilch were addressed at Kamala. Of course that is bad enough, and I am not sure we have heard the end of it yet, given there may be a whistleblower willing to expose some underhand dealings to give differential treatment to Kamala. Let's just watch how that one pans out.
But even worse than addressing Fact Checks to just one candidate, many of the moderators' so-called 'facts' were, and still are, false! I won't go through them all, as most of the details have been widely covered elsewhere.
However, one issue that did come up has not been addressed widely. This is the one about the 2020 elections. The moderators asked a 'gothcha' style question baiting Trump about his non-accepting that he lost the 2020 election. In particular, the moderators claimed that Trump's team had lost a large number of court cases proving that the elections were fair. Trump argued that the cases were not 'lost' but had been dismissed on technical issues such as the 'claimant having no standing'.
It was a long time ago now, but I do recall having looked at these cases closer to the event and remember a number of reasons for dismissing the cases instead of hearing them. The technicalities included standing, latches, being moot ,etc. It appeared that the courts were looking for any way they could to avoid hearing any details of electoral malfeasance. I think the judiciary did not do their job, but that is a subject for another time,
Just recently I came across a short YouTube video addressing this specific issue; FACT CHECK: What Actually Happened with All the "Trump" 2020 Election Lawsuits - Viva & Barnes
It seems Trump was right and the ABC moderators were wrong!
