JAKARTA - The campaign team for the President of the United States (US) Donald Trump has withdrawn a lawsuit regarding the fraud in the presidential election in Pennsylvania. They dropped their lawsuit two days before the trial. What is wrong?

Quoting The Guardian, the Trump campaign team withdrew the lawsuit which said 682,479 ballots were illegally counted because without Trump's representatives watching. They withdrew the lawsuit on November 15 yesterday, whereas on Tuesday, November 17, the trial for the charges will be held.

Reports on November 7 said that Joe Biden won the vote in Pennsylvania after ruling that the remaining ballots would not allow Trump to catch up. But Trump refused to give up. In the lawsuit, it was stated that there were ballot papers that were given back to voters for correction.

The lawsuit also alleges that "high-density Democrats" broke the law by identifying invalid ballots before election day. Voters can correct and make sure their votes are counted. Meanwhile, Trump's side claims that Republican-backed states are following all election rules.

Cliff Levine, a lawyer representing the Democratic National Committee, said it was unclear how many voters were given the opportunity to improve their ballot papers. However, Levine said, the amount is less than Biden's winning margin.

However, there is no provision in state law that prevents assisting voters to repair a defective ballot. Levine said the lawsuit did not contain allegations that someone voted illegally.

"It must be local officials who do not allow (voters) to make corrections," said Levine. "The goal should be to make sure every vote counts."

Nonsense?

It is known, one of the election officials in Pennsylvania, Kathy Boockvar, asked the judge to drop the case. State courts are the appropriate jurisdiction over the subject and the lawsuit does not contain "reasonable claims of redress in any theory of law."

According to reports received by the Pennsylvania side, more than 2.6 million ballots were submitted. Of the reports, no one complained about fraud or accuracy problems created by election officials or prosecutors in different parts of Pennsylvania.

Meanwhile, Trump and his supporters often accuse election officials in Philadelphia of not allowing their representatives to witness the vote count. They also claim there is sound manipulation there.

However, the Government of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf countered by saying ballot monitors from all parties were present during the counting process. According to him any insinuation regarding cheating was a lie.
