His strategy didn't work out as planned.

Just so this is clear for the record. I am George Terwilliger. I’m not Sidney Powell. I’m not Lin Wood. I’m not Rudy Giuliani. Our opponents here have raised the specter of this somehow being related to cases in which those lawyers have made assertions concerning the Georgia process and the election process and election procedures. We have nothing to do with that.

— McGuireWoods partner George Terwilliger III, in a statement made before Judge Eleanor Ross of the Northern District of Georgia, where he sought a federal restraining order to change how mail-in ballots in Georgia should be validated. Terwilliger represents the Georgia Republican Party, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the campaigns of Georgia Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. Judge Ross ruled that Terwilliger’s clients did not have standing, and dismissed the case.
