Federal appeals court rejects Trump challenge to block certification of Pennsylvania's election results - paving way for case to go to the Supreme Court

A federal appeals court on Friday rejected a request by President Donald
Trump's campaign to block President-elect Joe Biden from being declared
the winner of the battleground state of Pennsylvania, dealing another
significant setback to Trump's bid to overturn the results of the
November 3rd election.
Trump's lawyers vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court despite the judge´s assessment that the 'campaign's claims have no merit.'
'Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here,' Judge Stephanos Bibas wrote for the three-judge panel.
Pennsylvania certified Biden, who won the state's popular vote, as its winner this week. Under Pennsylvania law, the candidate who wins the popular vote in the state gets all of the state's 20 electoral votes.
EDITOR'S NOTE: The Supreme Court is not going to overturn an election which is challenged mostly with unproven conspiracy theories.
