WASHINGTON - Pennsylvania's top election official certified Democrat Joe Biden's victory in the key battleground state, dealing another significant blow to President Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the election results.
The Pennsylvania certification was the latest in a series of defeats for Mr Trump, who has repeatedly claimed, without evidence, to have won the Nov 3 election. His campaign has filed lawsuits and demanded recounts and audits across several battleground states, efforts that have gotten him no closer to a second term.
On Monday, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots in Philadelphia and Allegheny counties shouldn't be discarded because of technical errors like voters failing to print their names if there's no evidence of fraud. Mr Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani has said the case should be decided by the US Supreme Court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority. Mr Trump has said his goal is to"decertify" the state's results one way or another.
Not a blow at all. The straits times is a blow hard
