Federal judge in Pennsylvania dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit on voting by mail

A US federal judge on Saturday dismissed a suit brought by Donald Trump's campaign that challenged Pennsylvania's vote by mail procedures for November's elections.

Iran PressAmerica: The ruling by District Judge Nicholas Ranjan rejected claims related to the state’s plan to use unmanned ballot drop boxes and bar ballots from being rejected based on perceived signature mismatches.

It also rejected the Trump campaign’s attempt to allow poll watchers who don’t live in the county they want to monitor. The ruling says fears about voter fraud are speculative, the Bloomberg reported.

“All of these assumptions could end up being true, and these events could theoretically happen. But so could many things. The relevant question here is: are they ‘certainly impending’? At least based on the evidence presented, the answer to that is ‘no,” Ranjan wrote in a 138-page ruling.

The United States' 2020 presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 3.

So far, in nearly every major poll this year, Trump has trailed his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

Democrats are widely expected to keep the House in the November 3 election.
