A Pennsylvania judge decided to take to court the claim of the candidacy of Republican Donald Trump that aims to prevent officials from certifying the election results, alleging irregularities.
A United States District Judge, Matthew Brann, told Trump’s campaign attorneys and Pennsylvania state election officials that they must “be prepared for discussions and questions” within the process, keeping it valid.
Trump’s candidacy wants to avoid the certification of the results that give President-elect Joe Biden the 20 votes of the electoral college of that state (decisive for the defeat of the incumbent), alleging that the electoral processes were not uniform throughout the territory and are injured by various irregularities.
The Pennsylvania court accepted this claim and ruled that the matter under review must be heard in court, which should delay the confirmation of the outcome of the presidential elections in this state.
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, called for the lawsuit to be closed, arguing that there had only been, “at best, normal irregularities.”
Although most of the American “media” have already declared Biden the winner of the presidential election, Trump has refused to admit defeat and is blocking the Democratic candidate’s efforts to transition to power.
Even without the official results from Georgia, where the votes are being counted, Biden already has 290 votes in the electoral college, enough to prevent a possible reversal of his Pennsylvania victory from jeopardizing his election.
Biden’s margin in Pennsylvania is nearly 70,000 votes, and most experts believe that the lawsuits Trump has brought in court will not be able to reverse the final election result.
Trump’s candidacy alleges various irregularities and legal problems in Pennsylvania’s electoral process, including problems with signatures on postal ballots, envelopes with questionable postage marks, or even errors in counting votes in person.
For now, Trump’s legal team achieved only two small victories: in a case where a court allowed its observers to get a little closer to the electoral officials who processed the votes; in another case where Pennsylvania counties were required to not count ballots sent by mail or in person in advance that did not have valid identification within six days of Election Day (November 3).
Many other legal challenges presented by the Republican candidacy were quickly eliminated. or rejected by courts in several states, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia, without justification by the judges.
