Trump Campaign to File Appeal After Pennsylvania Judge Dismisses Lawsuit
U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign team has filed an appeal on Sunday after Pennsylvania judge has rejected the campaign's effort to block the certification of votes in the state.
The appeal was filed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit following U.S. Middle District Judge Matthew Brann in Williamsport, Pennsylvania had shoot down the campaign's injunction.
The injunction would stop the certification of the election, according to a Fox News report.
This as the campaign seeks to reverse the results in swing states across the country.
Brann said that the plaintiffs ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters.
Brann said that the court has not been able to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought to cotest.
He explained that this in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated.

"One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption, such that this Court would have no option but to regrettably grant the proposed injunctive relief despite the impact it would have on such a large group of citizens," he was quoted in a Fox News report.
Trump said Pennsylvania violated the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
This specifically when counties took different means to inform voters of technical issues that happened.
Reports said that even if he does win the Pennsylvania case, he would still need to win other lawsuits in other states then ask to delay certification.
The campaign has filed multiple lawsuits, specifically to some swing states days after the election.
The campaign further claimed widespread election fraud without proof, while majority of those cases have been already dismissed.
Some pro-Trump are hoping that lawmakers could be part of selecting Republican electors.
Meanwhile, Trump invited Michigan legislators to the White House on Friday in hopes that at an Oval Office meeting would encourage them to set aside the popular vote favoring Biden.
Biden was leading by 154,000 points from Trump.
However, lawmakers released a statement after the meeting that they would follow the law and normal process on electors.
Fox News said Trump may have been thinking of the same invitation to lawmakers from Pennsylvania.
