President Donald Trump's campaign said on Sunday it would again ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn results from the Nov. 3 election, its latest long-shot effort to subvert the electoral process and sow doubt over the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

In a statement issued by the campaign, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the campaign had filed a petition asking the high court to reverse three rulings by a Pennsylvania state court interpreting the state's rules for mail-in ballots.

"The Campaign's petition seeks to reverse three decisions which eviscerated the Pennsylvania Legislature's protections against mail ballot fraud," Giuliani said in a statement.

Giuliani said the filing sought all "appropriate remedies," including an order allowing Pennsylvania's Republican-controlled legislature to award the state's 20 electoral votes to Trump. Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes.

The petition is "frivolous" and is not going to stop Biden from becoming president on Jan. 20, said Joshua Douglas, an election law professor at the University of Kentucky.

"The Court will shut it down quickly," Douglas said.

A candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes to win the White House. Biden won 306 of those votes to Trump's 232 and defeated the Republican president by more than 7 million ballots in the popular vote.

I don't think Cheech, Chong, and Snoop Dogg could get that collectively high enough to agree to this, let alone hear it

Didn't the Electoral College vote?

Even if ballots could be thrown out the real election already happened.

"Giuliani said the filing sought all "appropriate remedies," including an order allowing Pennsylvania's Republican-controlled legislature to award the state's 20 electoral votes to Trump. Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes."

Wasn't Bush V Gore to stop an ongoing recount? I don't remember them throwing out any votes (priorly counted) because of it.

We should never not be horrified that they are attempting a coup, no matter how pathetic it is (and it is indeed pathetic).

The filing said PA Suoreme Court approving election changes MADE BY THE LEGISLATURE changing election law "violates Bush v Gore" (it doesn't) yet makes no mention of Texas' governor changing election law, which actually happened and if this went through (it won't), democrats could use the precedent to challenge the state of Texas and get all those electoral votes tossed).

Unless the democrats grow a spine and punish this kind of treasonous behavior as soon as they can, the magat republicans will only grow emboldened and continue this madness until they get what they want or the country is in ruins. If Biden and co. try to sweep this under the rug, or dismiss it as just another moneymaking scam, not only are they horribly naive, they're essentially enabling this mess.

So which judge will just start sanctioning these idiots?

I remember another lawyer here mention that is not likely. Imagine, these dudes are just trolling the court system.

I hope the money he is raising, stealing, using for other purposes is illegal and it gets taken away from him.
