News World Trump camp’s lawsuit struck down in Pennsylvania Barbados Today22/11/20201264 views A judge in Pennsylvania has dismissed a lawsuit from the Trump campaign that sought to invalidate millions of mail-in votes in the battleground state. Judge Matthew Brann said the suit, which rested on allegations of irregularities, was “without merit”. The move paves the way for Pennsylvania to next week certify Joe Biden’s win – he leads by more than 80,000 votes. It is the latest blow to Donald Trump, who is trying to overturn his loss in the November 3 presidential election. He has refused to concede and made allegations of widespread electoral fraud, without providing any evidence. The lack of a concession has upended the process that normally follows a US election. Biden is projected to defeat President Trump 306 to 232 in the US electoral college, which determines who becomes president – far above the 270 he needs to win. The Trump campaign has lost a slew of lawsuits contesting results from the election, and its latest efforts focus on stopping the swing states that handed Biden his win certifying the results – an essential step for the Democrat to be formally declared victor.
