A Neva­da judge has dis­missed a law­suit filed by Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump’s cam­paign in the state that seeks to throw out tens of thou­sands of votes.

Judge James Rus­sell wrote in his order (pdf) that the Trump cam­paign “did not prove under any stan­dard of proof that any ille­gal votes were cast and count­ed, or legal votes were not count­ed at all, for any oth­er improp­er or ille­gal rea­son, nor in an amount equal to or greater than 33,596, or oth­er­wise in an amount suf­fi­cient to raise rea­son­able doubt as to the out­come of the election.”

Rus­sell also wrote that the cam­paign did not prove “that the elec­tron­ic vot­ing machines mal­func­tioned in a man­ner suf­fi­cient to raise rea­son­able doubt” over the elec­tion out­come. The cam­paign also “did not prove that ‘the elec­tion board or any mem­ber there­of was guilty of malfea­sance,’” he wrote.
