Bloomberg: “President Donald Trump’s campaign on Monday asked a federal appeals court for permission to request an emergency injunction blocking Pennsylvania from certifying the election result while the campaign seeks to revise a lawsuit over mail-in ballots. The filing in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia signals that Trump hasn’t given up his effort to block Pennsylvania from certifying his election loss, even though the state’s 67 counties are required by law to certify their results by Monday evening.”
“Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat who is a defendant in the suit, could affirm statewide results swiftly after the counties certify their results. The request is part of the campaign’s appeal of a Saturday decision by U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann for denying its request to file a second revised complaint in the case. In the same decision, Brann dismissed the campaign’s first amended complaint, saying it was far too short on evidence.”
