Donald Trump claims that his opponents rigged the presidential election. However, the lawsuits brought by him so far have not been successful. Another defeat is also looming in Pennsylvania.
Donald Trump’s lawyers have tempered a lawsuit against the outcome of the presidential election in the important state of Pennsylvania. When the complaint was updated, they removed the allegations that when votes were counted, observers on Trump’s side violated constitutional rights. Trump’s lawyers wanted to invalidate several hundred thousand votes in Pennsylvania on this basis.
The charge continues to be that Trump’s Republican voters were at a disadvantage in Pennsylvania because some democratically-oriented districts were allowed to correct ballot errors. Trump refuses to acknowledge challenger Joe Biden’s election victory, claiming without proof that he lost to fraud.
Pennsylvania brings in 20 votes from electoral voters. 270 votes are required for victory, Biden got 306. It was not clear whether the partial setback in Pennsylvania is an admission of a legal impasse or simply a reorganization. Trump promised new lawsuits Monday night.
“Our big cases will soon be shelved showing the unconstitutionality of the 2020 elections and the atrocities that were perpetrated to change the outcome,” he wrote on Twitter. Previous lawsuits have had little success with the judges. Government agencies also said the election was the safest yet.
Many postal voters
Trump, meanwhile, appeared to appeal to the United States Supreme Court on Twitter. “Those responsible for protecting our constitution cannot allow the false results of the 2020 postal vote to stand,” he wrote. Trump had placed special emphasis on bringing conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court shortly before the presidential election, also with a view to possible proceedings around the election result. The Conservatives now have a majority of six of the nine justices there. Three of them were named at Trump’s proposal.
In light of the crown pandemic, many Americans, especially Democrats in big cities, voted by letter. Given that in several states these documents were only counted after polling station ballots, Trump was initially in the lead and was later overtaken by Biden. In Arizona, however, there was the opposite development: There Trump caught up with the vote-by-mail count, but Biden still won the state by a narrow margin.
