Judge Andrew Brascher of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals of Georgia rejected the appeal later that day. Brasher was nominated to court by Trump in 2019 and confirmed by the US Senate in February.

“This appeal arose from a last-minute lawsuit alleging widespread misconduct related to the elections and seeking universal relief,” Brascher wrote. However, Brasher ruled that his court had no jurisdiction to hear the appeal.

“Because we lacked jurisdiction, the appeal and the action were rejected
The judgment concluded that the permissible appeal was rejected. “And because we must reject this appeal, the conditional mutual appeal of the accused is also rejected. Any other pending proposals are rejected.”
