Trump campaign backs down on major Pennsylvania voting claim

Donald Trump’s campaign abandoned a central part of its legal challenge to the election results in Pennsylvania, a state where Democrat Joe Biden defeated the current president and which was instrumental in winning the White House.

Before Tuesday’s hearing, Republicans dismissed the claim that 682,479,000 mailed and missing ballot papers were illegally processed, without their representatives looking.

The lawsuit filed this Sunday in federal court, however, maintains the objective of preventing the certification of Biden’s victory in the state of Pennsylvania and maintains the version that Democratic voters were treated more favorably than Republicans.

Joe Biden was declared the winner of the US presidential election on November 7, when it was discovered that missing votes in Pennsylvania would not allow Trump to overtake Biden in this state. Yet Trump refuses to admit defeat.

The process now revolves around the claim for the disqualification of the votes who were given the opportunity to correct the bulletins with technical failures sent by mail.

The lawsuit accuses “counties with many Democrats” of violating the law by identifying, before Election Day, mailed ballots that had flaws, such as a missing inner envelope or a missing voter signature on the outer envelope, by make sure the vote can be counted.

The attorney representing the Democrats, Cliff Levine, has already said that it is not known how many voters were given the opportunity to correct the letter, but guarantees that it was the minimum number and below the margin of almost 70 thousand votes that separate Trump’s Biden in that state. “The numbers are not even close to the margin between the two candidates,” he says.

In either case, there is no provision in state law that prevents municipalities from helping voters correct a ballot with a technical failure. Second, Cliff Levine also does not claim that someone voted illegally.
