A federal judge has dismissed a Trump campaign lawsuit against the Philadelphia Board of Elections that sought to stop election officials counting ballots so long as Republican observers are not present as it said was required under Pennsylvania law.
The Trump campaign’s lawsuit (pdf) against the city’s election board was filed with the federal court in Philadelphia on Thursday afternoon. The campaign said that election officials are “intentionally refusing to allow any representatives and poll watchers for President Trump and the Republican Party” from Philadelphia’s ballot-counting area inside the Pennsylvania Convention Center.
