The Trump Campaign has filed its proposed Second Amended Complaint in the PA federal voting case. It's not much different than the earlier one and seeks the same relief. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
They have tried to restore the claims arguing that the legislature and Secretary of State usurped the power of the state legislature under the Elections and Elector clauses, something they had abandoned given a new 3rd Circuit has saying they had no standing.
At bottom they are asking for the federal court to throw out the votes of millions of Pennsylvania voters and declare Trump the winner of the election (or let the legislature pick Trump). This is not a thing. 
The reference to the Civil Rights Act in this filing is downright bizarre.
Here's a link to that filing, courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
though the docket now notes that Trump campaign made some kind of technical error and will need to refile this and the proposed complaint.

My first tweet in this thread is wrong. I was thrown off by the fact that the Trump campaign did not redline all the changes in the complaint. Here's a comparison of the difference in the remedies sought in the 1st amended complaint and proposed second:
And now from their opposition to the motion to dismiss, here's their proposed "statistical analysis" in favor of disenfranchising voters (based on claims they should have brought BEFORE the election):

so striking is the Trump campaign lawyers' incompetence in not even signing their proposed amended complaint courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… AND mistakenly signing the judges name to the proposed order to accept that complaint courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Errors like these signal to the judge that this is not a serious effort. It's no accident that no top notch Republican election lawyers have signed onto this sloppy and dangerous Trump campaign effort to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania voters.
