The U.S. Supreme Court inflicted a setback on President Donald Trump on Tuesday by refusing to accept an appeal from his allies. to block the certification of electoral results in Pennsylvania, key to the triumph of Democrat Joe Biden.

The highest US court, in which three of nine magistrates were appointed by Trump, did not explain the reasons for its decision, the first since the Republican president launched a judicial battle to question his defeat in the November 3 elections.

Let us remember that in a speech made by President Donald Trump on November 4, he said: “We want the law to be used appropriately. So we will go to the Supreme Court of the United States. (…) We don’t want them to find any ballot at 4 in the morning and add it to the list. “

Trump repeatedly spoke of manipulation and fraud, referring mainly to postal ballots, for which millions of people chose as an alternative to voting in person in times of pandemic.
