Here’s What’s Actually In Trump’s Pennsylvania Lawsuits
16th November 2020
President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign restructured their Pennsylvania lawsuit Sunday to narrowly tailor their arguments in a bid to prevent the state from certifying the election results.
Originally, the lawsuit sought to invalidate nearly 700,000 mail-in ballots because the campaign alleged they were counted without poll watchers present, according to the Associated Press (AP).
While the campaign is still arguing that those ballots were improperly processed, lawyers have restructured their lawsuit, arguing Republican voters were not given the chance to cure their ballots while Democratic voters were.
“We are still arguing that 682,479 ballots were counted illegally, in secret,” Trump 2020 communications director Tim Murtaugh said in a statement. “Our poll watchers were denied meaningful access to watch the vote counting and we still incorporate that claim in our complaint.”
Paragraph 4 of the amended filing still seeks to have those ballots from Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties invalidated for allegedly not allowing poll watchers to observe.
