　　[Global Times Special Correspondent Jiang Ziyi in the United States, Global Times reporter Zhang Jidan] Persevere in the end?

According to the Associated Press report on the 20th, the campaign team of US President Trump submitted a petition to the US Supreme Court on the same day, requesting the overturn of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's rulings on three cases related to mailed ballots in order to challenge President-elect Biden. Victory in the state.

This is the first time that the Trump camp has independently filed a complaint in the Federal Supreme Court.

Some analysts believe that because Biden has won 306 electoral votes, which is much higher than the 270 electoral threshold, the 20 electoral votes in Pennsylvania will not be able to influence the overall situation and will not have a substantial impact on Trump's defeat. Impact, and the Federal Supreme Court will not easily overturn the election results without evidence.

　　The Associated Press stated that this is another new attempt by the Trump team to challenge the results of the election.

Trump’s personal lawyer, Giuliani, said in a statement issued by the campaign team that the team independently filed a complaint in the Federal Supreme Court for the first time. “The complaint seeks all appropriate'remedies', including the withdrawal of voters who voted for Biden. The delegation appoints and allows the Pennsylvania State Assembly to choose alternative candidates."

He asked the Pennsylvania court to act quickly to make a ruling before Congress verifies the results of the Electoral College vote on January 6 next year.

Douglas, a professor of election law at Kentucky State University, told Reuters that the prosecution was "rash" and would not prevent Biden from taking office as US president on January 20.

　　In November, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that party observers at the Philadelphia electoral station were allowed to watch the ballot processing process up close, but could not deliberately approach the election staff in order to see the content of the ballots. In addition, the court also ruled that there were 8,300 minor errors. Mailed ballots need to be counted, including ballots that do not include the name, address, and date on the cover of the envelope; in October, the state's Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the signature of the mailed ballot cannot be inconsistent with the signature on the voter registration form Just refuse to mail ballots.

The above three rulings have been revoked by the Trump team.

　　On the 8th of this month, the Federal Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit concerning the results of the Pennsylvania election.

The lawsuit was initiated by Republican Congressman Kelly, who accused Pennsylvania of mail-in voting in violation of the state constitution and demanded that more than 2.5 million mail-in votes in the state be nullified.

Kelly believes that when Penn State members decided to expand the scope of mailed ballots last year, they only voted in the state assembly and did not conduct statewide inquiry through the constitutional amendment process, which is unconstitutional.

The lawsuit was first rejected by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and then appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.

　　According to US media statistics, since the Trump team and its supporters began to challenge the election results, at least 86 judges have dismissed the lawsuit, and some judges were even appointed by Trump himself.

　　In addition to continuing to initiate litigation, Trump is also considering appointing attorney Sini Powell as the special prosecutor to be responsible for investigating allegations of "election fraud."

According to US media reports, Powell was once a key member of Trump's lawyers, and he has long spread "election fraud" and "Democrats stole the election."

Powell was suddenly fired in November this year.

People familiar with the matter revealed at the time that Powell's allegations were "baseless" and even Trump was worried that she was "disabling help."

　　"But now, Trump welcomes the return of the flamethrower, full of conspiracy theories, to the White House to help him further extend his presidency." National Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) said on the 20th.

According to the "New York Times" previously reported, Trump proposed to appoint Powell as a special prosecutor at a meeting of the White House last Friday to investigate the so-called "election fraud."

He also sought advice from consultants participating in the proposal of former President’s National Security Affairs Assistant Michael Flynn to implement martial law and deploy troops to re-election in battlefield states that favor Biden.

However, both proposals were rejected.

Trump scolded the "martial law" report on Twitter last Saturday as fake news, but he once again emphasized that the US election suffered the largest fraud in history.

　　According to the "Washington Observer" report on the 20th, several reporters confirmed that they saw Powell appear at the White House that same day. Although there was no time to meet Trump, she was preparing an executive order to seize several key battlefield states. Voting machine and check.

However, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has stated that the department has no authority to execute the above-mentioned order.

　　"Trump's dramatic proposal makes people feel very regretful and crazy." Utah Senator Romney told CNN on the 20th that he did not think Trump would appoint Powell as a special prosecutor. Official, he understands Trump’s efforts to change the mood of the election result, but doing so will only make the situation more embarrassing.

"Trump is writing the conclusion of this administration. He could have won a new round of victories by quickly distributing the new crown vaccine, but what he is doing now has shown what he will be praised by in the future."

CNN also said that given Powell’s recent shocking behavior, she does not have the ability to become a special prosecutor, and that Trump’s idea is dangerous and may violate the Constitution.

According to the US Axios News Network, Trump has given up announcing his participation in the 2024 election before Biden took office, because it means he has given up seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Romney said that the Republican Party has been completely changed by Trump, and that Republicans who are likely to participate in the 2024 election do not have the "humorous style" that Trump is a politician.
