The Republican Party of the United States filed lawsuits for the presidential elections in multi-state courts. Today, there were successive setbacks in three key states. At the same time, a law firm has come under fire for litigating the Trump presidential campaign and has pulled out of Pennsylvania. An important demand.

The judge said the United States faces “large-scale interference” and “unprecedented challenges” during the COVID-19 epidemic and therefore stands by the decision to extend the acceptance of mailed ballots for three days.
The Associated Press reported that D. Brooks Smith, the chief US circuit judge, said the collegiate panel takes into account “the indisputable argument in our democratic process: the legal vote of every citizen must be counted.”
This decision involves the Penn State Supreme Court’s decision based on concerns about the epidemic and postal service delays, that is, that all mailed ballots delivered within 3 days of voting day on the 3rd November are considered valid.
The Republican Party asked the Supreme Court to reexamine the case. But the number of late votes is not enough to change Pennsylvania’s vote count – that is, Democratic President-elect Biden is leading the way. Pennsylvania has about 6.8 million votes total, and Biden has about 60,000 more votes than Trump.
The Trump campaign and Republican agents filed more than 15 legal objections in Pennsylvania, trying to win 20 electoral votes in Pennsylvania, but so far they have not provided any evidence of large-scale voter fraud.
A judge in Philadelphia tonight declined to claim that around 8,300 mailed ballots were invalid, and found no evidence of fraud. The Trump camp also filed similar lawsuits in other key states, but did not provide any evidence.
In Michigan, a judge today refused to prevent the results of elections in the Detroit area from being certified, dismissing some allegations that Detroit was fraudulent and that votes were not correctly counted when handling non-resident votes. This is the third time a judge has refused to intervene in a state’s vote-counting process, with Biden leading Trump in Michigan by roughly 140,000 votes.
In Arizona, the Trump camp also sued to try to review ballots in Phoenix, but Trump’s field attorneys admitted that the number of votes was small and would not change the election results.
The Trump camp also tried to postpone time for Maricopa County in Arizona to certify election results, advocating that votes should be verified first for those who surrounded the candidates with too many votes.
In addition, the large law firm “Porter Wright Morris & Arthur” has been criticized for helping the Trump camp and has withdrawn from a lawsuit aimed at preventing Pennsylvania officials from verifying the results of the elections.
