The headquarters of US President Donald Trump on Sunday, December 20, filed a lawsuit with the US Supreme Court demanding a review of the results of the election of the head of state in Pennsylvania. Forbes reports.
Trump’s lawyers are pushing for the cancellation of the vote and allowing the Pennsylvania legislature to appoint state electors. The Pennsylvania electors have already cast their votes for Democrat Joe Biden.
“President Trump’s Staff Committee filed an appeal with the Supreme Court today to overturn three Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases that illegally amended the Pennsylvania mail-order law just before and immediately after the 2020 presidential election,” the statement said. Trump headquarters.
According to lawyers, this is a violation of Article 2 of the US Constitution and the decision in the Bush v. Mountain case, which determined the outcome of the 2000 elections.
Representatives of the head of the White House are seeking a decision from the Supreme Court of this case until January 6, when the results of the electoral college vote will be approved by the new composition of Congress.
Previously, the Supreme Court has never reviewed the results of presidential elections in a particular state. In addition, even if he decides in favor of Trump’s headquarters, the Pennsylvania electors will no longer change the situation: there are 20 electors in the state, and Biden won the election by 74 electors.
On December 15, Biden announced that the electoral college vote was a “clear victory.” The Democrat added that Trump’s attempts to challenge the outcome of the presidential election in the United States, including in the courts, have not been successful. However, Donald Trump said he would continue to challenge the country’s election results.
The US presidential election was held on November 3. The current head of the White House is convinced that the elections were held with numerous violations and rigging in favor of the Democrats. Trump’s attempts to file lawsuits to block electoral votes have ended in failure.
