A judge on Wednesday denied an effort to force Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf to withdraw the certification of the presidential election results.
Mary Hannah Leavitt, a Commonwealth Court judge, ruled that petitioners failed to demonstrate “a clear right to relief or likelihood of prevailing on the merits because their underlying action, although styled as a complaint seeking a writ of mandamus, is really an improper and untimely election contest.”
