Election Day was nearly two weeks ago and there still isn’t an official winner, according to Fitton. Ongoing litigation in states such as Pennsylvania, where the Trump campaign has “….[made] allegations of voter fraud, voter misconduct and maladministration that call into question the results of the Pennsylvania election,” have raised serious concerns about the decision to call the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden. As Fitton has regularly reiterated in reference to post-election day ballot counting, “3 USC Section 1 – raises questions about not only counting ballots that arrived after ballot day but counting ballots past election day in a way that changes the results after election day.” In fact, as the law states:
“The electors of President and Vice President shall be appointed, in each State, on the Tuesday next after the first Monday in November, in every fourth year succeeding every election of a President and Vice President.”
“I encourage you to review the filing made by the campaign, not because I support the campaign but because they make important allegations that every American should be concerned about,” Fitton continued. From the court case brought forward by the Trump campaign it would appear that “600k mail in ballots, or ballots generally, were counted in Pennsylvania without the required observation by the Trump campaign. The law requires that both sides have the right to observe the ballot counting.” Fitton argued that the claims were “very substantial,” raising the question “of some votes being more equal than others in PA.” As Fitton explained, “what was happening in PA , as the lawsuit alleges, is that in Democratic counties they were trying to see if the ballots were ‘deficient’ in some way, and if they were, they were trying to get the ballots cured by communicating with voters.” This wasn’t the case in Republican-leaning counties, Fitton stated – meaning that “more ballot harvesting was going on in Democratic counties.”
