Penn Law professor Kermit Roosevelt basically says Trump campaign needs to prove widespread voter fraud
and/or
The election was administered so poorly that it favored one candidate over another and that it wasn't fundamentally fair.

Thus far, no proof of widespread, malicious voter fraud in Pa, nor has any been laid out in the court doc filed by the Trump team.
Election administration claims center largely around 'curing' of ballots. But no evidence that R's or D's were given different opps w/in a county.

Judge Matthew Brann says he's read everything docketed.
Wants clarification:
That Trump campaign's two remaining counts are for violation of equal protections clause and electors clause.
Giuliani says that's correct. Only real issue for today is equal protections issues.

Giuliani starts w/ open:
He says in court that this is a case of widespread voter fraud. Few, if any other Trump campaign attorneys have made this claim in court, in front of a judge.
Begins by saying mail-in voting is prone to widespread fraud, but we haven't seen this proven.

Giuliani calls Philadelphia and Allegheny "Democrat machines" that are "well known for voter fraud".
Giuliani says observers weren't allowed to watch ballot counting, which we're told is not true. There weren't complaints to elections officials here of unequal treatment.
