The most recent case out of Pennsylvania disputed Pennsylvania\u2019s Secretary of State\u2019s Kathy Boockvar\u2019s decisions \u2013 upheld by the state Supreme Court \u2013 that loosened state law with regards to signature verification, canvassing observations and voter requirements on ballots.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As described above, non-legislative officials, oftentimes at the instigation of partisan third parties, ignored or significantly altered and thereby violated state election law, including, most tremblingly, laws enacted to minimize the risk of fraud in mail voting and thereby protect the integrity of the election process,&#8221; the Trump campaign lawsuit reads.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The decisions of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, an elected body, also raised serious concerns whether these were partisan attempts to assist the Democratic candidate whose campaign strategy of utilizing mail ballots was well publicized, in comparison to President\u2019s Trump\u2019s well-known strategy to encourage in-person voting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/us\/supreme-court-pennsylvania-mail-in-voting\/2020\/10\/19\/id\/992738\/\">U.S. Supreme Court split 4-4 in October\u00a0<\/a>on whether to block another ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court regarding late mail-in ballots, allowing for the Pennsylvania court\u2019s ruling to stand.<\/p>\n<p>The Trump campaign had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to make Boockvar and others named in the latest suit respond by Wednesday and issue a ruling by Jan. 6, the date Congress is set to vote on whether to certify the Electoral College results.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/supremecourt-trump-election-pennsylvania\/2020\/12\/24\/id\/1003064\/\">https:\/\/www.newsmax.com\/politics\/supremecourt-trump-election-pennsylvania\/2020\/12\/24\/id\/1003064\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Court Indicates No Interest to Intervene in Election With Latest Decision<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43515","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43515","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43515"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43515\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43515"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43515"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43515"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
