A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Trump Campaign seeking to delay the certification of election results in Pennsylvania, where President-elect Joe Biden is ahead by more than 80,000 votes against President Donald Trump.
The decision of Judge Matthew Brann of the US District Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania is a major blow to Pres. Trump’s effort to overturn Biden’s victory in the presidential election.
In his 37-page blistering ruling, Judge Brann, a longtime Republican, said the Trump Campaign failed to present compelling and factual evidence to support its claims of massive voter fraud that warrant its request to disenfranchise nearly seven million voters.
Judge Brann wrote, “One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens.”
