The Third Cir. has rejected Trump's appeal. Decisively.
"Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here."

The court rejects Trump's arguments pretty categorically. He loses on everything. And there's no point in letting him file a new complaint, because he'd lose on that too.
The court also says Trump can't get an injunction to overturn Pennsylvania's election results. "The campaign's claims have no merit," it says. "Tossing out millions of mail-in votes would be drastic and unprecedented, disenfranchising a huge swath of the electorate."

The Third Cir. picked up on the fact that despite the campaign's public statements, this isn't a fraud case, as Giuliani himself said in court.
The court says the campaign's lawsuit "alleges many conclusions," but is "light on facts."
