The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejects Trump's case to challenge the presidential election results

Washington-SANA

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit brought by outgoing US President Donald Trump to challenge the electoral vote count in Philadelphia, the state's largest city.

Politico magazine reported that Trump said in his lawsuit that Philadelphia had limited the ability of the designated observers to monitor the vote count, which led to fraud and turned the results against his interest.

In its response to these allegations, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court deemed the Election Commission’s rulings “reasonable” because it allowed candidates' representatives to monitor how the commission carried out its activities in accordance with United States election law.

Earlier, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals in the United States rejected the Republican Party’s demand to revoke nearly ten thousand late-arriving Pennsylvania ballot papers.

Pennsylvania is one of the major states that can determine the outcome of the US presidential election until the winner is announced there. In addition to this state, the Trump campaign has also filed a lawsuit in a Georgia state court requiring local election commissions to comply with a law counting and storing ballot papers received by mail.

Trump is still insisting on refusing to admit his defeat in the presidential elections to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, and he repeated the day before yesterday in a tweet on his claim that he "won", which prompted the site's management to place a warning sign on the tweet to warn about its health.

Trump also fired the director of the Agency for Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security in charge of ensuring the security of the elections, Chris Krebs, for denying that there had been fraud in the elections, which he lost to Joe Biden.
