The latest Trump campaign PA lawsuit is asking the court to issue an emergency order stopping officials from certifying the election results, and a permanent injunction requiring county election boards to invalidate ballots of voters who were allowed to "cure" their mail ballots
"Curing" ballots: If you sent your mail ballot without a signature or secrecy envelope, an official calls you to say you can vote by provisional ballot. This is completely legal.
The Trump campaign argument is that voters in some counties were allowed to "cure" their ballots while voters in other counties were not. But the U.S. election system is decentralized and voters have different rules depending where they live.
Looking through this lawsuit, there are fewer than a dozen ballots in PA that the Trump campaign says show "suspected" fraud. I'll tell you exactly what happened to these ballots:
My point is, there's no evidence of widespread fraud in this particular PA lawsuit. The campaign raises issues of transparency, ballot-curing and mail ballots received after election day, but only *11* ballots filled out or thrown out.
