Donald J. Trump for President v. Boockvar
The ³Ô¹ÏÖ±²¥ and partners intervened in a Trump-campaign lawsuit that attempted to block the certification of the Pennsylvania Nov. 3 election results. On November 21, 2020, the district court dismissed the lawsuit, noting it was "presented with strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations ... unsupported by evidence." "In the United States of America," District Judge William Brann added, "this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state."
