The Trump campaign on Monday filed a new lawsuit in Pennsylvania seeking to prevent the "curing" of ballots — the process of quick certification.
The lawsuit was announced Monday by Trump campaign general counsel at a press conference attended by White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.
"The election is not over," Morgan said. "Tabulation and candidacy continues across the United States."
The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania by President Donald Trump and two representative voters, Morgan said.
The suit alleges "a violation of equal access based on a lack of meaningful observation and transparency" in counties controlled by Democrats and "a violation of equal protection based on disparate treatment between Republican voters and Democrat voters," he said.
"What this means if you were a Democrat in Philadelphia, you were able to work outside the grounds on fixing defective ballots — sometimes referred to as 'curing' — but if you're in Republican counties in the state of Pennsylvania you were not allowed to do that because they were strictly following the text of the statute in Pennsylvania," Morgan said.
In Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties, more than 682,000 ballots were tabulated outside of the view of GOP ballot observers who were entitled by law to view them, he said.
"We believe that a meaningful review of those ballots could discern that there were some ballots that were illegally counted," Morgan said. "We believe that this lawsuit takes us one step closer to closing the gap in the vote differential in Pennsylvania."
"If it were this close the other way, if Trump was in the lead in all these states, the media would be screaming, 'This isn't over,'" McDaniel added.
Trump is contesting election results in four other states: Georgia, Arizona, Michigan and Nevada. Mainstream media outlets declared Democrat Joe Biden president elect on Saturday, but Newsmax is holding off on declaring a winner until all legal proceedings have made their way through the system.
