The Trump campaign has continued to file lawsuits, trying to prevent the states of Pennsylvania and Michigan from certifying their election results. The critical swing states went to President-elect Joe Biden, providing him the necessary electoral college votes to win the election.
Pennsylvania Lt. Governor John Fetterman said he anticipates Trump’s lawsuits to be tossed out of court.
“The bottom line is math doesn't care about your feelings, math doesn't care about your baseless lies and allegations, and math has made Joe Biden President-elect and you are standing in the way of an orderly transition,” Fetterman told Yahoo Finance Live. “And it's just time we get on with it. So this idea that you somehow can alter the outcome through a lawsuit without any evidence, without any facts, when the math is overwhelmingly against you, I don't understand, you know, why they want to continue this on.”
The Trump campaign had cited allegations made by U.S. Postal Worker Richard Hopkins from Erie, Pa. that his supervisor had tampered with ballots mailed after the election, backdating them so they could be counted.
According to a tweet by the House Oversight Committee, the allegations made by Hopkins were later recanted.
The only evidence of fraud in the state, the Lt. Governor shared, was that of a man who tried to have his dead mother vote for Trump.
“The margin continues to grow. And these lawsuits are nothing but lies attached to an agenda of continual chaos, when there isn't one person from the president on down that actually believes any of this,” Fetterman said “We all have to collectively turn our backs on all of this nonsense and say and affirm that yelling voter fraud in the absence of one scintilla of evidence is the metaphorical yelling fire in a crowded theater.”
