US President Donald Trump's campaign team has appealed the dismissal in Pennsylvania.
In a lawsuit on Monday, Trump's team asked the US Court of Appeals to overturn a decision made by District Judge Matthew Brann.
It is to be checked whether Brann wrongly refused to change Trump's lawsuit a second time.
The judge on Saturday dismissed a motion by Trump's team to expand the lawsuit again to include the argument that the Pennsylvania vote was unconstitutional.
Accordingly, the election result should be discarded and the state parliament of Pennsylvania - which is ruled by Republicans - decide on the electorate.
Trump and his Republican allies have also suffered defeat on other lawsuits in Michigan, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Trump's attorneys had only presented "tried legal arguments of no value and speculative allegations" without evidence, wrote Judge Brann in support of his decision.
Trump's lawsuit also aimed to potentially invalidate millions of absentee votes.
The arguments and evidence presented would not even have been enough to invalidate the vote of "a single voter", wrote the judge.
"Our people, our laws and institutions demand more," he wrote.

The Democrat Joe Biden prevailed in the important state, which has 20 voters to give.
According to forecasts by the US media, Biden now has 306 voters, significantly more than the majority of 270 votes necessary to win.
Trump, however, refuses to admit defeat, claiming massive electoral fraud occurred in the November 3 election.
However, he has not provided any solid evidence for this.
For this reason, judges have already dismissed several of his lawsuits.
In the state of Georgia, Trump requested another vote recount in due time on Saturday.
His lawyers said this was to ensure that every legal vote was counted.
Trump had until Tuesday to request another recount.
He was able to do this because the gap between the candidates is less than 0.5 percentage points.
Georgia had already checked the ballot papers herself.
Then Biden's lead over Trump shrank from around 14,000 to 12,670 votes.
The responsible State Secretary Brad Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp had confirmed the results on Friday afternoon.
Biden won the votes of the state's 16 electorate.

Trump's legal team explained the recount request by insisting on an "honest vote count," which must include signature comparisons and other important protective measures.
“Let's stop giving wrong results to the people.
There has to be a time when we stop counting illegal ballots.
Hopefully he'll come soon, ”it said.
Biden won Georgia as the first Democrat after Bill Clinton in 1992.
Trump was also unlucky with another strategy: Republican MPs and senators from the state of Michigan invited by him to the White House spoke out against attempts to alter the election results with legal tricks after the meeting.
The Republicans said Friday that they had no information yet that could change the election result.
They would therefore "follow the law and normal process" in appointing the electorate, said Senate and Chamber of Representatives Majority Leaders Mike Shirkey and Lee Chatfield.
"And the candidates who win the most votes win the election and the votes of the electorate," they said.
Biden won the Michigan election by a large margin.
Trump's unusual meeting with the Republicans had fueled fears that he would press them to change the outcome of the normally more formal steps of notarization.
However, US media quoted lawyers who stressed that such a move would never have stood up in court, even with the consent of the local Republicans.
