U.S. President Donald Trump and his team pushed on with efforts to reverse the outcome of the Nov. 3. U.S. presidential election and filed a new complaint with the Supreme Court, Reuters reported Monday.
The Trump campaign is asking the Supreme Court to reject Pennsylvania judges and invalidate tens of thousands of mail-in ballots. President-elect Joe Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes. Trump's move is the latest of several to overturn the election result.
Political analysts say Biden will still win the election without Pennsylvania because of his commanding lead in the Electoral College.
The petition by the Trump campaign is "frivolous" and will not stop Biden from becoming U.S. president Jan. 20, Joshua Douglas, an election law professor at the University of Kentucky, said. "The Court will shut it down quickly."
The Trump campaign has not had any success so far in the courts. Trump and his allies have filed around 50 lawsuits claiming large-scale irregularity in the election. Nearly all have been dismissed for lack of evidence.
Many Republican U.S. senators have acknowledged Democrat Biden as the president-elect after the Electoral College confirmed his win and have dismissed revoking the election in the House of Representatives.
