The Supreme Court on Friday denied a Hail Mary effort by the attorney general of Texas who had asked the court to intervene and overturn the election in four states that went for Joe Biden, dealing a crippling legal blow to Donald Trump's legal strategy.
The court voted 7-2 to dismiss the case.
Justice Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito said they would have heard the case - but that they would have refused to overturn the election result effectively making the result 9-0.
The stunning end to Trump's legal bid to overturn the election came just after 6.30pm in a one-page ruling from the court.
