With legal proceedings in several US states, Donald Trump's election campaign seeks to portray President-elect Joe Biden as the illegitimate winner of the election.

The serious fraud allegations, however, cannot even begin to substantiate Trump's team.

Accordingly, the next defeat in court followed in Pennsylvania - with a rigorous comment from the judge.

The Pennsylvania lawsuit sought to invalidate potentially millions of postal votes with allegations of fraud.

However, the appeals court, like the lower instance, said last week that Trump's lawyers had provided "no clear evidence" of the alleged massive fraud.

In addition, the Democrat Joe Biden won the election in the state by around 81,000 votes, which is why alleged individual cases would not play a role, it said.

Pennsylvania officially certified Biden's election victory in the state a few days ago.

Biden won 20 electors in Pennsylvania.

»Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy.

Injustice charges are grave.

But calling an election unfair does not mean that it is also unfair, ”wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas.

“Charges require specific allegations and then evidence.

We have neither here nor the other «.

The panel consisted of three judges, all appointed by Republican presidents.

Bibas was appointed federal judge by Trump in 2017.

Trump's lawyers want to go to the Supreme Court

A Trump lawyer, Jenna Ellis, continued the serious allegations against the judiciary - also on behalf of Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

She tweeted that "the Pennsylvanian judicial machinery continues to cover up massive fraud allegations."

Now they want to call the Supreme Court in Washington, she wrote.

Courts have already dismissed numerous lawsuits from Trump and his Republican allies, including in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Nevada.

Even with an appeal to the Supreme Court, in which six of the nine judges are considered conservative, Trump is unlikely to be successful in view of the facts.

Most recently, Trump said he would vacate the White House when Joe Biden was elected 46th President of the so-called Electoral College.

At the same time, however, Trump repeated his baseless claims about alleged election fraud.

"That's far from over," said Trump.

In truth, Biden is the winner, the ongoing protests from the White House do nothing to change that.
