Gefühlter Versuch 3584. 🙄
A group of Pennsylvania Republicans have filed an emergency lawsuit seeking to block certification of the election results in the Keystone State,[/b] which President-elect Joe Biden won by more than 80,000 votes.
The emergency petition, filed in state court this weekend, comes ahead of Monday's deadline for Pennsylvania counties to certify their voting results, part of the process of formalizing President Trump's electoral defeat.
Among the plaintiffs are Trump ally Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.), who has asked the court to strike down an expanded mail ballot policy that Pennsylvania put in place last year after it was passed by the state's GOP-held legislature.
Biden won three of every four mail-in ballots cast in the state, according to an analysis of Pennsylvania Department of State data by The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) wrote in an op-ed for the Cincinnati Enquirer that while he supports legal checks on the 2020 presidential election, the General Services Administration should provide the funds and infrastructure for a Biden transition to begin.
Why it matters: Portman was a co-chair of Trump's re-election campaign in Ohio and rarely steps out of line with party leadership. He wrote in the op-ed that "there is no evidence as of now of any widespread fraud or irregularities that would change the result in any state."
What he's saying: "Based on all the information currently available, neither the final lawful vote counts nor the recounts have led to a different outcome in any state. In other words, the initial determination showing Joe Biden with enough electoral votes to win has not changed," Portman wrote.
"I voted for President Trump. ... But I also believe that there is no more sacred constitutional process in our great democracy than the orderly transfer of power after a presidential election. It is now time to expeditiously resolve any outstanding questions and move forward."
"[T]he Biden team should receive the requested intelligence briefings and briefings on the coronavirus vaccine distribution plan. This is only prudent."

...Most congressional GOP leaders are still silent. But the spectacle has some senior Republicans ready to call time. "It's over," GOP Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan said on CNN's "Inside Politics" Sunday. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a frequent Trump critic, said on CNN's "State of the Union" that Trump's behavior was akin to that seen in a "banana republic." And even Trump's friend, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, speaking on ABC News' "This Week," branded Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and his cohorts a "national embarrassment."
One of the President's friends and outside advisers, Steve Schwarzman, an investor and philanthropist, said Monday he is now looking ahead to a Biden administration.
"The outcome is very certain today and the country should move on," Schwarzman, the CEO of the Blackstone Group, said in a statement provided to CNN. "I supported President Trump and the strong economic path he built. Like many in the business community, I am ready to help President-elect Biden and his team as they confront the significant challenges of rebuilding our post-COVID economy."

Ich gehe mal davon aus, dass das mit der heutigen, wahrscheinlichen Bestätigung der Ergbenisse in Michigan den meisten Counties in Pennsylvania zusammenhängt.
Nachdem diese verkündet wurden, rechne ich wieder mit reger Aktivität. 😀
