(Worthy News) – The Supreme Court on Monday threw out several of the remaining election challenges raised after former President Donald Trump’s loss to President Biden.
One of the cases, filed in Pennsylvania and disputing the state’s greater allowances for mail-in ballots amid the pandemic, were rejected by the court in an unsigned order. The court earlier this year declined to consider election-related litigation until after Biden was inaugurated, signaling that it would not take up the cases.
Justice Clarence Thomas dissented from the decision, writing that although too few ballots were affected by the new rules for it to make a difference, that may not always be the case. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
