President Trump's campaign on Sunday dropped part of its lawsuit attempting to stop Pennsylvania from certifying its election results.
In a revised filing of the lawsuit, Trump's attorneys took out accusations that election officials unlawfully kept observers with the campaign from being able to watch as votes were counted. Trump and his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, have claimed that because of this now-dropped allegation, more than 600,000 votes cast in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia needed to be invalidated.
