A federal appeals court rejected an appeal filed by the outgoing US President, Donald Trump, in which he considered that "the electoral process was unfair," refusing to freeze a judicial decision that confirmed Joe Biden's victory in Pennsylvania, while President-elect Joe Biden received additional votes. After the recount in Milwaukee, the largest county in the state of Wisconsin.
In a scathing criticism of the allegations in which the Trump campaign considered the latter a "victim of fraud", in the November 3 elections, three appeals judges in the Federal Court of Pennsylvania considered that there is no evidence to support the allegations of lack of integrity in the electoral process.
The court considered that "the accusations of dishonesty are serious accusations, but the mere statement that the elections are unfair does not make them so."
The judges noted that the Trump campaign, in its appeal against a court of first instance ruling, claimed a discrimination.
However, the court considered in its decision that these allegations “cannot turn iron into gold,” indicating the impossibility of altering the facts.
The recent judicial decision falls within the context of a set of court rulings issued at the level of the United States, which responded to the Trump campaign and the Republicans' allegations of fraud and other irregularities, which led to the billionaire's loss of the presidential elections.
Trump insists that Biden's victory is illegal, and two days ago he told reporters again: "These elections are rigged."
And last week, a Pennsylvania court dismissed the defenses of Rudy Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, who had called for millions of votes in the state to be annulled over allegations of fraud.
But the judge embarrassed Giuliani by forcing him to acknowledge that none of the allegations he made to the court contained fraud, or went beyond the technical issues of overseeing the vote count.
And Pennsylvania state law states that the winner of the popular vote in it gets its 20 electoral college votes, and last week the state government officially ratified Biden's victory in the state, so the Trump campaign filed an appeal in federal court to suspend that approval, but the Court of Appeal She said the Trump campaign had no concrete evidence to argue with.
The judges considered the allegations made by the outgoing president's campaign "vague and conclusive."
With Biden making progress at the national level that Trump cannot compensate for, the court indicated that filing a new appeal to the Supreme Court will not lead to anything.
And the court considered that "the campaign has brought cases, and lost most of these cases."
And she continued, "The campaign cannot win this lawsuit. It has admitted that it does not claim fraud in the elections."
But Gina Ellis, the Trump campaign attorney, who has worked with Giuliani on the issue, announced in a tweet on the social networking site "Twitter" that the campaign intends to challenge the appeal.
"The judicial apparatus active in Pennsylvania continues to blind us to accusations of widespread fraud ... We will go to the Supreme Court!"
In addition, the Trump campaign recount in Milwaukee, the largest county in Wisconsin, ended with Biden receiving more votes.
After recounting nearly 460,000 votes in Milwaukee, the difference between Trump and Biden is 132 additional votes in favor of Biden.
In all, Biden received an additional 257 votes to Trump's 125.
Trump's campaign had called for a recount in two of the most populous Wisconsin counties, which are favored by the Democratic Party, after losing the state by more than 20,000 votes.
The Trump campaign will cost $ 3 million for the recount in the two counties.
Dean's boycott is expected to finish the recount today.
At the level of the United States, Biden won the presidential elections with a majority of 306 of the electoral college votes, which is much more than the 270 votes needed to win the presidency, while Trump received 232 votes.
Biden also leads by more than 6 million in the popular vote.
After the recount is over, county notary George Christenson said: "The recount illustrates what we already know, which is that the Milwaukee County elections are fair, transparent, accurate and sound."
The Trump campaign is still expected to contest the overall score in Wisconsin, but time is running out.
The state is due to ratify its presidential results the day after tomorrow.
In a related context, the US Director of Cyber Security, who was dismissed by Trump for saying that the November 3 elections were the most accurate elections in American history, described Trump's allegations of election fraud as "farcical" allegations.
The former director of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security, Chris Krebs, said yesterday in an interview with the "60 Minutes" program, broadcast by CBS, that the allegations of foreign countries tampering with vote recording systems are baseless. Her health.
Sydney Powell, Trump's lawyer, whose legal team distanced themselves from her last week, spoke about a conspiracy theory, according to which voting systems invented in Venezuela by order of its late President Hugo Chavez contributed to reversing the US election result in favor of Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
She and others claimed that the voting machines overturned votes from Trump to Biden.
"All votes are counted in the United States of America," Krebs said, in an excerpt broadcast by CBS.
Trump fired Cribs on November 17, after describing the elections as "the most accurate in American history."
Three judges assert that there is no evidence to support the allegations of "election fraud."
