In Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign has withdrawn its appeal of a judge's order rejecting their challenge to 592 absentee ballots in Montgomery County where the voter didn't write their address when they signed the envelope declaration
Elswhere in PA, a judge in Bucks County rejected the Trump campaign's appeal of the county's decision to count 2,117 absentee ballots with various deficiencies. Judge notes both sides agreed there was no evidence of fraud re: the ballots in this case assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7331…
Just in: A GOP win in Pennsylvania — Commonwealth Court judge ruled that 2,349 absentee ballots in Allegheny County where the voter didn't date their declaration are invalid, reversing a lower court judge assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7331…
Other PA judges have rejected the Trump campaign's challenges to absentee ballots with declaration deficiencies such as missing dates, addresses, or printed names — those cases are still pending up on appeal
Following up on tonight's GOP win in Allegheny County re: 2,349 ballots missing a date — here is the question that the PA Supreme Court agreed to hear on the subject, so the question of whether counties must disqualify ballots w/ certain defects remains pending

I would like to tell you that I'm covering a hearing in Clark County, NV, in one of the cases challenging the county's handling of mail-in voting and seeking a revote, but...the courtroom is somehow muted on Blue Jeans, so I am only covering in the sense that I can *see* it...
A masked lawyer is currently gesturing. Then the masked judge is gesturing. That's all I've got.
Aha we have sound!

Here's a link to the complaint in this case courtesy of @DemocracyDocket, it's seeking a total revote in Clark County: democracydocket.com/wp-content/upl…

Rudy Giuliani is holding a presser to rehash unfounded allegations of a left-wing conspiracy to rig votes in Dem-leaning big cities. He's with Trump ride-or-die lawyers from the past four years: Sidney Powell (also Michael Flynn's lawyer), Joe DiGenova, and Victoria Toensing
Giuliani is citing an affidavit filed by an election worker in Detroit that he says offers proof of fraud. Here are the excerpts from the court opinion explaining why the claims in this affidavit weren't persuasive or were altogether disproven by evidence from election officials
Here's a link to the full opinion in the Costantino case: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7328…

The judge noted this witness didn't lodge any complaints at the time about what she allegedly witnessed and only came forward after Biden won

New: Trump's campaign is dropping its effort to stop Michigan from certifying results — there's a court notice, affidavits, and Giuliani statement, and they all *contradict each other* (thread coming.) Regardless of what they say, though, this case is over
assets.documentcloud.org/documents/7331…
First, the facts: The Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted to certify the election results. That happened after the board initially deadlocked. Here's the Detroit Free Press: freep.com/story/news/loc…
The campaign's notice says the board of canvassers "declined to certify the results" — that is false. There are affidavits from the two GOP members that confirm they voted to certify — they're now trying to walk it back, but that's different from saying they declined to certify

New: A few developments of note in the Trump campaign's federal court case trying to stop PA from certifying the election results:
- Another legal team changeup, with his prev. lawyers suddenly withdrawing and a new set entering appearances (no explanation provided in filings) ImageImage
- The Trump campaign's new lawyers asked the judge to delay a hearing set for tomorrow, saying they needed more time to get up to speed
- Judge Matthew Brann has denied that request ImageImageImageImage
- More in the Trump case in PA: The judge let two of the campaign's lawyers withdraw, but is silent on the third who asked to go, Linda Kerns. Once a lawyer is on record in a case, that carries certain obligations and the judge has discretion to decide if/when they can leave Image

The Trump campaign announced a new lawsuit in Maricopa Cty, AZ, and it's a variation on the prev. debunked "Sharpiegate" — it's alleging Trump voters may have had their ballots rejected because poll workers manually overrode error messages cdn.donaldjtrump.com/public-files/p… ImageImage
Here's more on "Sharpiegate" from our expert debunkers @JaneLytv and @CraigSilverman: buzzfeednews.com/article/janely… Arizona officials have confirmed that ballots filled out with a Sharpie will be counted
@JaneLytv @CraigSilverman Another Sharpie-related lawsuit was filed in Maricopa County a few days ago, but the plaintiffs already voluntarily withdrew it: democracydocket.com/wp-content/upl… Image
