US President Donald Trump drives a golf cart at the Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia, on Nov 22, 2020. WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump's campaign on Monday told a federal appeals court it would seek to halt the"effect" of Pennsylvania's likely certification of the Nov 3 election results, after a lower court paved the way to certify President-elect Joe Biden as the winner.
Under Pennsylvania law, the candidate who wins the popular vote is awarded all of the state's electoral college votes. Biden received 51per cent of the vote in Pennsylvania and 81,000 more votes than Trump. The lawsuit filed by Trump's campaign in the Pennsylvania district court alleged inconsistent treatment by county election officials of mail-in ballots.US District Judge Matthew Brann, in his ruling, said the case was based on"strained legal arguments" and that he had"no authority to take away the right to vote of even a single person, let alone millions of citizens."
