BEVERLY HILLS, December 22, (THEWILL) – Outgoing U.S. President, Donald Trump, is unrelenting in his pursuit of judicial power to overturn the election of President-elect Joe Biden.
The latest is a petition seeking to reverse Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases having to do with mail-in ballots.
“The petition seeks all appropriate remedies, including vacating the appointment of electors committed to Joseph Biden and allowing the Pennsylvania General Assembly to select their replacements”, Trump attorney, Rudy Giuliani, said in a statement.
He is asking the court to move swiftly so it can rule before Congress meets on Jan. 6 to tally the vote of the Electoral College, which decisively confirmed Biden’s win with 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232.
Pennsylvania last month certified Biden as the winner of the state’s 20 Electoral College votes after three weeks of vote counting and a string of failed legal challenges.
Trump’s campaign and his allies have now filed roughly 50 lawsuits alleging widespread voting fraud. Almost all have been dismissed or dropped because there is no evidence to support their allegations.
Trump has lost before judges of both political parties, including some he appointed. And some of his strongest rebukes have come from conservative Republicans.
The Supreme Court has also refused to take up two cases — decisions that Trump has scorned, dismissing the judges as ‘lacking wisdom and courage’
