TRUMP CAMPAIGN LOSES PENNSYLVANIA APPEAL CASE
A U.S. federal appeals court on Friday rejected a request by U. S. President Donald Trump's campaign to block president- elect Joe Biden from being declared the winner of the battleground state of Pennsylvania. The ruling is yet another significant setback in Trump's long-shot bid to overturn the results of the Nov. 3 election. “Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so,” wrote Stephanos Bibas on behalf of a three-judge panel.
“Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” The case could still be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court. On Thursday Trump said for the first time that he will leave the White House if the Electoral College votes for Biden.
