President Donald Trump’s campaign filed a new claim in his effort to block certification of Pennsylvania’s election results while also urging a federal judge not to dismiss its existing lawsuits.
In an 86-page amended complaint, the campaign said the state violated its federal due process rights and undermined other legal protections.
But it remains to be seen whether the new filing will persuade the judge not to toss out the lawsuit, as Pennsylvania officials have requested.
Trump's campaign, after narrowing the scope of the suit earlier this week, has been focusing on a claim that voters in the state were improperly allowed to fix ballots that had been rejected because of technical errors such as missing a "secrecy envelope."
Pennsylvania officials have said a small number of ballots were fixed. Trump's campaign, however, was asking the judge to halt certification of Biden's victory in the state. Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar is due to certify the election results next Monday, meaning Brann is expected to rule quickly.
This week the judge allowed Trump's personal attorney, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, to formally appear in the case. The Republican president wrote on Twitter on Saturday that Giuliani was spearheading a new team to pursue the campaign's legal fight.
