Trump campaign revises Pennsylvania lawsuit, again

President Donald Trump's campaign on Wednesday changed tack and sought to reintroduce claims to a Pennsylvania election lawsuit. The Trump campaign had retracted part of a lawsuit seeking to halt certification of election results in Pennsylvania three days ago. Democrat Joe Biden had won Pennsylvania by 82,000 votes according to Edison Research.


Trump campaign has said that it would ask that Trump be declared the winner of the battleground state, a Reuters report said. They are alternatively contending that the state legislature is given authority to assign the state’s 20 electoral votes.
The complaint says, 1.5 million mail-in or absentee votes in seven Pennsylvania counties that flipped the results in Biden's favour “should not have been counted”. The lawsuit also compels Republicans to invoke international standards to assess the legitimacy of the US elections.

Trump's campaign has filed a flurry of lawsuits in a long-shot bid to reverse results of the election, which Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden won with 306 electoral votes to Trump's 232.
For Trump to flip the election results, he would need 270 electoral college votes which he would get with help of 20 electoral votes from Pennsylvania and two other states.
The Trump campaign filed a formal request to disclose records related to the election including copies of the outer envelopes of mail-in ballots that were counted. Trump has claimed without evidence that the election was rigged.

In a court filing, the campaign sought permission from US District Judge Matthew Brann to add back legal claims that it dropped on Sunday from its November 9 lawsuit.
