Pennsylvania officials and the Democratic Party filed their response to the Trump campaign's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, urging the Third Circuit Court to dismiss a request by the campaign that would keep their legal effort going.
"It is beyond time for this baseless litigation to come to an end," lawyers for Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar wrote, noting that the Trump campaign team, led by Rudy Giuliani, seeks to reinstate claims it had already "abandoned for tactical reasons" in the lower court.
In regards to Trump campaign charges that poll watchers could not "meaningfully observe" the vote count, Boockvar's team writes the Trump Campaign failed to show that "even a single vote that was improperly counted," much less enough votes to alter the election. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled earlier that the poll observers were given sufficient access under state law.
"The Trump Campaign seeks to needlessly draw out this futile litigation," said a filing on behalf of Allegheny, Philadelphia, Chester and Montgomery counties, calling the campaign's allegations "conspiracy theories repackaged from the darkest corners of the internet."
The Third Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to rule quickly.
