He, as usual was way wrong about both.

Yes, I do remember that. I also remember that he continues to insist that the 2020 election was "rigged". So... You're probably right.

Use of Peremptory Challenge in the Legal System

While the term peremptory may be used to refer to a variety of rulings, orders, or decisions in the U.S. legal system, its most common use is in the jury selection process. When a jury is needed for a trial, potential jurors report to the courthouse, where they go through a selection process known as voir dire. During this process, the judge and the parties’ attorneys question each potential juror to determine whether any have a bias toward the case or the defendant.

Either attorney may dismiss any jury candidate for cause, meaning there is a definitive reason he feels the individual would not be impartial. In addition to dismissals for cause, each attorney is allowed a specific limited number of peremptory challenges, which allow them to dismiss jury candidates without stating any reason at all. The number of peremptory challenges allowed each party varies by state.
