An-Najah News - As the presidential election remains too close to call. U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign has turned to the courts in multiple states in an attempt to stop vote counting and invalidate ballots yet to be counted.
Trump’s path to the 270 electoral college votes needed to secure a second term has narrowed considerably after Democrat Joe Biden picked up some key states one of which is being targeted by Trump’s lawyers and local Republicans.
In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the Trump campaign asked a judge to halt ballot counting in Pennsylvania, claiming that Republicans had been unlawfully denied access to observe the process.
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday called the suit “wrong” and promised all votes will be counted.
The Supreme Court’s conservative justices said last week there was not enough time to decide the merits of the case before Election Day but indicated they might revisit it afterward.
