Pennsylvania supreme court throws out Republican bid to reject 2.5m mail-in votes

Judge says plaintiff failed to allege that even a single mail-in ballot was fraudulently cast or counted'

Pennsylvania's highest court has thrown out a lower court's order that was preventing the state from certifying dozens of contests from the 3 November election.

In the latest Republican lawsuit attempting to thwart president-elect Joe Biden's victory in the battleground state, the state supreme court unanimously threw out the three-day-old order, saying the underlying lawsuit was filed months after the law allowed for challenges to Pennsylvania's year-old mail-in voting law.
