The Trump campaign made a last-ditch effort Thursday to get a judge to order more ballots examined by hand and counted in Maricopa County in hopes of altering the state’s election results.
But even if Judge Daniel Kiley, an appointee of former Gov. Jan Brewer, gives attorney Kory Langhofer what he wants, it is too little and too late to give the president the state’s 11 electoral votes.
There are only only 191 ballots at issue in the court matter. But the latest tally shows Democrat Joe Biden remains ahead of Trump by about 11,400 votes.
And with only 10,300 ballots left to be counted, there just is no way for the president to catch up.
Even to get a statewide recount Trump would have to come within 200 votes.
