Rudy's rambling a lot and not making a whole lot of sense.
He has presented no actual evidence of voter fraud, but keeps telling the judge versions of "you’d have to be a fool" to not think fraud happened in the election.

Daniel Donovan, a lawyer representing the Pennsylvania secretary of state, points out that Rudy's lengthy rant was heavily focused “on allegations that are not in the complaint" filed by the Trump campaign.
"There is no claim of voter fraud" in the complaint, Donovan notes.

Key part: Donovan says the Trump campaign's entire case is "just speculation" without any basis in fact or evidence.
Shortly after Donovan's remark, the public line for this hearing cut out. Still waiting for it to reconnect.

Back from technical glitch, Allegheny County Board of Elections lawyer Mark Aronchick is eviscerating Giuliani's "fantasy world" claims.
Audibly pissed, Aronchick takes particular issue with Giuliani calling poll workers part of a "mafia."
"This just is disgraceful," he says.
