HARRISBURG, Pa. — A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Saturday threw out a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump’s campaign, dismissing its challenges to the battleground state’s poll-watching law and its efforts to limit how mail-in ballots can be collected and which of them can be counted.

The lawsuit was opposed by the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, the state Democratic Party, the League of Women Voters, the NAACP’s Pennsylvania office and other allied groups. The lawsuit is one of many partisan battles being fought in the state Legislature and the courts over mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, amid concerns that a presidential election result will hang in limbo for days on a drawn-out vote count in Pennsylvania.

Trump’s campaign also wanted the court to free county election officials to disqualify mail-in ballots where the voter’s signature may not match their signature on file and to remove a county residency requirement in state law for certified poll watchers. Ranjan wrote Trump’s campaign could not prove that the president has been hurt by election fraud or even that he is likely to be hurt by fraud.

Philly Judge Strikes Down Trump Campaign’s Poll Watcher PlanThe Pennsylvania attorney general says the ruling shows “the president’s wild claims don’t hold up in the court of law.” 🔶 I refuse to be intimidated by a crowd of fools who have no clue as to what Trump has done to destroy democracy and the environment and tax laws to benefit the 1%! Once the Trumps claims of voter fraud get tested with any kind of scrutiny the fall apart like wet toilet paper. Cool. Fascist punks anyway....
