The legal efforts of Donald Trump’s group met with deadlock in two Pennsylvania lawsuits over technical errors on the ballots.
It will count two other legal challenges from President Donald Trump’s campaign in Pennsylvania that appear to have had no more than 2,700 votes deemed technically flawed, ABC News reported.
A lawsuit, filed in the Philadelphia suburb of Bucks County, removed 2,177 ballots for missing the word on the address line or improperly sealed secret envelopes. A similar lawsuit filed in nearby Montgomery County court was dismissed by the court.
In dismissing Trump’s case in the Bucks district, Judge Robert O. Baldi said it would be “an injustice to disqualify these voters” for technical errors on the ballots. Judge Baldi noted many times that Donald Trump’s side has specifically made it clear that there is no evidence of fraud, error, or vote mismatch in the lawsuit.
The judge emphasized that nothing in the record and nothing alleged would lead to the conclusion that any vote in this case was taken by ineligible or disqualified voters.
ABC News noted that this point became even more important when Donald Trump’s legal team and the president personally accused on social media and in the press that there was electoral fraud in the United States. In court, however, the judges need concrete evidence for the accusations.
Earlier, on November 18, NBC News reported that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s case against poll watchers in Philadelphia. Consequently, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled on November 17 that Philadelphia officials did not violate state law by maintaining a distance of at least 15 feet between the observer and the counting personnel.
Previously, Republican observers accused them of being so far behind, behind a waist-high fence, that they could not see any details in the envelopes containing the ballots. But no conclusion was reached on whether the vote counting procedures were being followed correctly.
