In the dispute over the outcome of the election in the United States, the Team of President Donald Trump has announced an appeal to the Supreme court. On Friday, a Federal appeals court rejected a request by the Teams in connection with the vote in Pennsylvania. It would have been “specific allegations and evidence” necessary to justification. Further appeals were futile.
the judge Stephanos Bibas stressed that: “Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Accusations of Unfairness are serious. To name but a choice is unfair, doesn’t make it so. Allegations need special information, and then evidence. We have none of that here.“ And further: “voters, not lawyers, to choose the President. Ballot, not the pleadings, to decide elections.“ That Trumps have called for the Team, the state of Pennsylvania to stop the certification of his election results, he described as breathtaking.
