Trump Campaign Files SCOTUS Petition Over ‘illegally changed’ PA Balloting Laws; Trump Considering Sidney Powell as Special Counsel In Charge of Investigating 2020 Election, and related 2020 Election stories
Trump campaign files Supreme Court petition over ‘illegally changed’ Pennsylvania balloting laws:
The Trump campaign asked the Supreme Court on Sunday to reverse Pennsylvania’s state court rulings that “illegally changed” the state’s mail balloting laws, and asked that President-elect Joseph R. Biden‘s slate of 20 electors from the state be vacated.
The petition seeks to grant the Republican-led legislature the authority to appoint new presidential electors. The campaign wants rapid action by the high court, saying “the outcome of the election for the presidency of the United States hangs in the balance.”
“Time is plainly of the essence because once candidates have taken office, it will be impossible to repair election results tainted by illegally and belatedly cast or absentee and mail ballots,” the petition states. “The intense national and worldwide attention on the 2020 presidential election only foreshadows the disruption that may well follow if the uncertainty and unfairness shrouding this election are allowed to persist.” —>READ MORE HERE
