Lawyers abandon Trump in litigation

Legal strategy fails against results in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona as media expands Joe Biden's lead Washington -- While President Donald Trump said he can turn the election around, and said "Never bet against me," his cases against the results in Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania suffered setbacks. In Pennsylvania, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar said that because of the difference between Biden and Trump, a recount will not be necessary. According to the AP count, the Democrat has 3 million 414 thousand 662 votes to the Republican's 3 million 351 thousand 613, which gives a difference of 49.9% compared to 49% in the state. "No candidate was defeated by half a percentage point or less," declared Boockvar. In addition, a federal appeals court rejected an attempt to block approximately 9,300 mailed ballots that arrived after Election Day in the state. In their argument to support the three-day extension, the judges emphasized the "enormous disruption" and "unprecedented challenges" facing the nation from the pandemic. Chief Justice D. Brooks Smith said the three-judge panel did not lose sight of "one indisputable idea in our democratic process: that every citizen's legally cast vote must count.
