Republican surrogates for President Donald Trump resumed their legal fight Monday to try to stop the vote count in key battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Michigan, but faced long odds given the Electoral College tally and recent court rulings that found no evidence of widespread vote fraud.

“The process has not failed our country in more than 200 years, and it is not going to fail our country this year,” said Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who has congratulated Biden on his victory.
Still, Trump lawyers soldiered on six days after the election, just as personal counsel Rudy Giuliani had promised they would during a surreal weekend press conference outside a landscaping storefront in northeast Philadelphia.
Across the country, Republicans have complained about problems with the signatures, secrecy envelopes and postal marks on ballots, the inability of their poll watchers to scrutinize them and the extensions granted for mail-in ballots to arrive.
However, judges across the country largely rejected the Republican challenges as the campaign sought to interrupt the vote count as it leaned toward Biden. Trump has yet to concede the election, even as Biden claimed victory and got to work on his transition plans.
At the U.S. Supreme Court, 10 Republican state attorney generals filed an amicus brief Monday to support a challenge to Pennsylvania’s decision to count mail-in ballots that arrived through Friday.

The attorneys general say the court usurped a power reserved for state lawmakers.

Exactly!
Yup, the more these articles are posted (even in Freerepublic) the higher the article gets in Google search. At least put a Barf Alert on the title
AssPress has a sad.

I guess this makes Trump the underdog...

Wasn’t that about the Illinois vote count being so close? Kennedy won the popular vote by about 112,000 and the EC vote 303-219.
It wasn’t that close.
Uh huh, suuuuure he does...
I think Trump’ll take his chances anyway.
