The outgoing US President Donald Trump claimed the existence of what he described as “fraud and illegal practices in counting the votes of the electorate in Pennsylvania,” indicating that he will appeal the case for electoral irregularities in the state, after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court rejected a new complaint submitted by it The Trump campaign denounced "irregularities" during the presidential election, which was won by Democrat Joe Biden.
Trump tweeted: “The number of ballot papers that our campaign is against in Pennsylvania is much greater than the difference of 81,000 votes.
This isn't even close to that number.
Fraud and illegality are a big part of the case. ”
Yesterday, the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania rejected a new complaint by the Trump campaign that condemned irregularities during the presidential elections, thus eliminating the possibility of a change in the results.
The Republican complaint demanded either to nullify the vote by mail or to cancel the vote entirely in order to leave state lawmakers the choice of the winner.
President-elect Joe Biden won in Pennsylvania by 81,000 votes.
The court rejected these two requests, describing the second request as "surprising", considering that it aims to deprive 6.9 million people of those who voted in Pennsylvania from the votes they cast.
The complaint challenged a law passed in 2019 related to the introduction of voting by mail in Pennsylvania, and the complaint considered the law unconstitutional.
In their ruling, the judges said, "The challenge to this law came late, more than a year after its adoption, and at a time when the election results became apparent."
The state of Pennsylvania approved Biden's victory on November 24, but this new complaint also sought to appeal this decision.
Two days ago, a US federal appeals court dismissed an appeal filed by Trump in which he deemed "the election process unfair", refusing to freeze a judicial decision confirming Biden's victory in Pennsylvania.
In a scathing critique of arguments in which the Trump campaign considered the latter a "victim of fraud," three appeals judges considered that there was no evidence to support the allegations of unfairness in the electoral process.
This falls in the context of a set of court rulings issued at the level of the United States that rejected the Trump campaign and the Republicans' allegations of fraud and other irregularities that led to the Republican billionaire losing the presidential election.
Last Thursday, Trump wrote on Twitter: "These were 100% fraudulent elections, these elections were rigged." That the Americans will not allow disrespect for the outcome of the presidential elections that were held on the third of November.
