It’s still unclear how many ballots that might be, and whether the margin of victory in Pennsylvania would be so thin that those votes could affect the outcome, as well as which candidate wins the Electoral College vote.
Also in Pennsylvania on Thursday, Kathy Barnette, the Republican challenger who lost to Democratic Rep. Madeleine Dean, pulled back on an effort in federal court to have Montgomery County election officials set aside some mail ballots. In the motion, Barnette cited a state court hearing Friday over a separate case that may decide the issue.
The Trump campaign on Thursday was also in a Georgia court on a lawsuit that focuses on 53 late absentee ballots they say were illegally added to a stack of on-time absentee ballots in Chatham County. A judge dismissed the case.
Trump holds a narrow lead in the Peach State, where votes continue to be counted in Democratic strongholds such as the Atlanta area. Republicans in that state are contemplating more lawsuits as the tally tightens, The New York Times reported.
The Trump campaign, in a Michigan courtroom on Thursday, also pressed a lawsuit about observer access to counting. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has called the lawsuit “frivolous.” A judge denied the campaign’s effort to halt voting.
