Donald Trump's campaign team has waived one of the claims in a lawsuit challenging the poll in the Pennsylvania presidential election, where Democrat Joe Biden won the victory.

Reported by the Associated Press.

Trump's headquarters filed a modified lawsuit in federal court on Nov.15, removing the claim that more than 682,000 ballots delivered to polling stations were illegally processed without the participation of Republican observers.

The remainder of the claim concerns the invalidation of ballots sent by mail, which were corrected by voters after errors were found in them.

In its appeal to the court, Trump's headquarters claims that the constituencies controlled by Democrats, even before election day, opened the ballots sent by mail and identified defective ones so that voters can correct them.

This is against the law.

Republican districts, the lawsuit notes, followed all the rules and excluded from voting incorrectly filled ballots that were sent by mail.

Lawyers representing the Democratic National Committee said the number of voters who were given the opportunity to correct their ballots has not been set, but it will be minimal and will not affect the gap of almost 70 thousand votes separating Trump from the victory in Pennsylvania.

In turn, Pennsylvania Democrat Secretary of State Katie Primer, who is in charge of the elections, asked the court to cancel the proceedings, as it does not have a convincing legal precedent.

Recall that the Trump campaign is trying to block the decision to recognize Biden's victory in Pennsylvania, which gives a Democrat 20 electoral college votes.

Political analyst Alexander Asafov, in an interview with RT, noted that the lawsuit still contains requirements, satisfying which, the court can affect the outcome of the vote in the key state.

"Trump's election headquarters is doing the most reasonable thing - it focuses on those moments that have an unequivocal evidence base and can be presented in court without any doubt, therefore, it refuses controversial points where there is no direct evidence," the expert stressed.  

On the eve of Donald Trump in his Twitter, once again accused the Democrats of fraud and that they "stole" his elections.

He stated that the vote was conducted in violation of the constitution.

“Why do the fake media constantly insist that Joe Biden will take the presidency, but do not even allow our side to demonstrate how they shattered and trampled on our great Constitution in the 2020 elections.

This is an encroachment ... which we have probably never seen before, ”wrote Trump.

The American president explained that "in many states, a huge number of observers were kicked out of the counting rooms"

"That millions of ballots were changed by Democrats," and the voting software from Dominion Voting Systems, "abandoned by Texas and many others because of its insecurity," was under the control of "radical left".

.... owned Dominion Voting Systems, turned down by Texas and many others because it was not good or secure, those responsible for the safeguarding of our Constitution cannot allow the Fake results of the 2020 Mail-In Election to stand.

“Those who are responsible for preserving our Constitution cannot allow the fake results of the 2020 postal vote to be announced.

The world is watching! ”- said Trump.

He later announced that he had won the presidential elections.

At the same time, Twitter put a note under his post that the information contradicts the data of official sources on the election results.

The 45th US president also promised "big lawsuits" to prove the unconstitutionality of the elections.

According to him, before that, most of the lawsuits were filed not by his team, but by “those who saw terrible abuses” during the voting.

Evidence and refutation

Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell (formerly US federal attorney) said in an interview with Fox News that the president's supporters have enough evidence and reason to influence the outcome of the vote.

“We're going to challenge the election results in several states,” Powell said, noting that she has enough evidence of election fraud to launch a large-scale criminal investigation.

Powell said the voting system from Dominion Voting Systems carried out the spoof, casting Trump's "millions of votes" to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

She recalled that over the past several years, members of the Democratic Party themselves, such as, for example, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, have sent written complaints about the operation of this software.

Their statements were accompanied by relevant documents and expert reports, but the government did not pay attention to this issue, Powell said.

“We have so much evidence that it seems like they are gushing out like a fountain,” Powell said, noting that she would not disclose the data she had.

At the same time, the Cybersecurity Agency of the US Department of Homeland Security issued a statement on November 12, in which it called the elections "the most secure in history."

“The November 3 election was the safest in American history.

Right now, electoral bodies across the country are examining and re-examining the entire electoral process before finally summing up the results, ”said a statement released by the IMB's Cyber ​​and Infrastructure Security Agency.

In turn, the company Dominion Voting Systems denied the accusations against it.

“Dominion Voting Systems strongly rejects any claims of vote tampering or alleged software issues in our voting systems.

Our systems continue to count votes reliably and accurately, and state and local electoral authorities have publicly affirmed the integrity of the process, ”a company spokesman told The Denver Post.

According to Konstantin Blokhin, a researcher at the Center for Security Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, despite the active work of the Trump headquarters, the window of opportunity to influence the outcome of the elections and win the victory is rapidly closing.

“Trump has a chance to challenge the election results, but the time to implement this plan is running out every day.

Undoubtedly, Trump will try to change the situation, but Biden is gaining strength every day, becoming stronger, as demonstrated by the reaction of world leaders and the US elite.

Today it is difficult to predict whether Trump's election headquarters will be able to change this situation, "the expert said in an interview with RT.

There are fewer and fewer hopes of winning elections in this way, Alexander Asafov said in an interview with RT.

"Despite the huge legal work, he has little chance to challenge the results, since a huge argumentation base has already been created, which is supported by many world leaders and gives the voters the basis to conclude that Biden won transparently in fair elections," the expert emphasized.

At the same time, it is too early to make forecasts regarding this situation, added Alexander Asafov.

“Trump is an eccentric person, so you can expect different strategies and tactics from him.

For himself, Trump has not yet turned this page.

As long as he remains the current President of the United States, ”the political scientist concluded.
