Officials in the election battleground state of Pennsylvania and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) asked a federal judge on Thursday to dismiss the Trump campaign’s lawsuit that seeks to block the state from certifying results of the 2020 General Election.

According to documents filed with the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, lawyers for the Pennsylvania secretary of state and seven of the state’s counties said the case made vague and unsupported allegations “on the basis of repeatedly-rejected legal theories and no evidence.”
