Trump's losing so many cases now that I'm going to start putting the State, the date and time in the subject so we can track of every failure.
The Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas rejected five petitions by the Trump campaign to invalidate mail-in ballots in Philadelphia, which ultimately upheld approximately 8,300 ballots.
The Trump campaign had challenged mail-in ballots that were counted despite the voter leaving out some information on the ballot’s outer envelope, such as their address or not printing their name in addition to signing it
A Pennsylvania court also rejected a Trump campaign effort to invalidate 592 mail-in ballots in Montgomery County in which the voter did not print their address on the outer envelope.
The Trump campaign admitted in court in the Montgomery County case that the ballots in question were not in any way fraudulent, and the campaign previously withdrew its effort to also challenge thousands of provisional ballots cast in Montgomery County.
Though there weren’t enough ballots in question to erase Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania if they were thrown out, Trump campaign chief legal counsel Matt Morgan said Thursday the campaign had been hoping that a series of favorable rulings targeting small numbers of ballots would invalidate enough ballots to get within the 0.5% margin that would trigger a recount—which Friday’s rulings have now likely made impossible.
