Trump campaign abandons part of legal challenge to Pennsylvania election results

Allegation that 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots were illegally processed without its representatives watching has been dropped

President Donald Trump's campaign has withdrawn a central part of its lawsuit seeking to stop the certification of the election results in Pennsylvania, where Democrat Joe Biden beat Trump to capture the state and help win the White House.

Ahead of a Tuesday hearing in the case, Trump's campaign on Sunday dropped the allegation that 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots were illegally processed without its representatives watching.
