What gives? I thought this race was already called?
"In a blistering decision, a Philadelphia appeals court denied on Friday the Trump campaign’s attempt to challenge a lower court loss that had sought to stop — or even reverse — the certification of election results in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania certified its election results on Tuesday, as Gov. Tom Wolf signed off on the slate of 20 electors and solidified President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory there.
The 21-page ruling by the Third Circuit Court of Appeals was a complete repudiation of Mr. Trump’s effort to halt Pennsylvania’s certification process and a full-throated affirmation of a decision last Saturday by Judge Matthew W. Brann of Federal District Court in Williamsport, Penn., who dealt the Trump campaign its initial defeat in the case.
“Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy,” Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee, wrote on behalf of the appeals court. “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.”

Wow, what a shocker. Trump has NOTHING? Who would have known🙂
I live in the Pocono Mountains (well so-called mountains, where I was born, we called them hills🙂 here in Pennsylvania.
Nice thing about Pa is hurricanes get pooped out by the time the work their way up the coast and we don't have lake effect snow and haven't had any major forest fires and we seem to be in a zone with few earthquakes.
Like one of the few safe places in the US climate wise.

@Mott-The-Hoople
So that memorandum which hasn't been voted on is now law? Why don't YOU read it so you MAYBE understand it before you weaponize it.
Let me guess. All the signers are republican, right? Or maybe you don't even know that.
@mott-the-hoople saidEven assuming a resolution of this sort would have any binding effect, I count 21 co-sponsors. The Pennsylvania House of Representatives has 203 members (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennsylvania_House_of_Representatives), so this plot to ignore the will of that State's voters has a long way to go even in that body.

“On to SCOTUS!” wrote Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney, on Twitter after the ruling, referring to a planned appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. “The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud.”

@metal-brain saidI'd be very surprised if the SCOTUS even grants cert.
