Trump’s campaign staged a multi-pronged legal attack in several battlefield states.
Washington:
US President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign on Wednesday said it has taken legal action in Georgia to demand Chatham County separate and secure late ballots to ensure they are not counted .
The lawsuit, brought against the Chatham County Board of Elections, called on a judge to order the county to guarantee and account for ballots received after 7 p.m. on polling day, according to a court document released by the campaign.
The campaign said it filed a lawsuit after receiving reports that late ballots in the county, which includes Savannah, had been mis-mixed with valid ballots.
“President Trump and his team are fighting for the good of the nation to uphold the rule of law, and Georgian law is very clear: to legally count, postal ballots must be received by 7 p.m. on the day. of the poll, “said the deputy campaign manager. Justin Clark said in a statement.
Trump’s campaign staged a multi-pronged legal attack in multiple battlefield states following the close November 3 presidential election.
The campaign asked to intervene in a case pending in the United States Supreme Court over whether Pennsylvania, another key state that was still working to make its way into hundreds of thousands of ballots in the mail, should be allowed to accept late ballots sent out before polling day.
He also said he has taken legal action in Michigan and Pennsylvania to try to stop the counting of votes, arguing that authorities did not allow fair access to the counting sites.
“The Trump campaign is bringing a number of baseless lawsuits across the country. Don’t be fooled,” Democratic Party lawyer Marc Elias said on Twitter. “They know they lost and that’s all they have left.”
