‘BAD INFORMATION CAMPAIGN’
Bob Bauer, a senior advisor to Biden’s campaign, called Trump’s various demands a distraction “without merit” and said the strategy was designed to undermine the integrity of the electoral process.
“This is part of a broader disinformation campaign that involves some political theater,” he said.
“They intend to give the Trump campaign a chance to argue that the vote counting should stop. It’s not going to stop, ”he told reporters Thursday.
In Pennsylvania, where Trump is narrowly leading but Biden is winning, the Trump campaign and other Republicans have already presented several legal challenges.
An appeals court in Pennsylvania ordered Trump campaign officials to be allowed to take a closer look at ballot processing in Philadelphia, prompting a brief delay in the count.
Later, a judge helped negotiate a deal so that a fixed number of observers from each campaign, up to 60, could enter parts of the city’s counting area within the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
Pennsylvania Democrats filed documents in the U.S. Supreme Court Thursday saying that while they would not oppose Trump’s campaign to intervene in a pending appeal in which Republicans seek to block incoming mail ballots Late in state, it was premature for the court to act on the motion.
Trump has repeatedly said that he hopes the Supreme Court, which has a conservative 6-3 majority, including three justices it appointed, will play a key role in determining the outcome.
“We think there will be a lot of litigation,” Trump told reporters Thursday, adding that “maybe it will end up in the highest court in the country.”
But the Supreme Court is unlikely to have the final say in a decisive way and any challenge would have to go through the usual judicial process, legal experts say.
