President Donald Trump will seek “decertification” of Pennsylvania’s election result if the state affirms President-elect Joe Biden the winner as planned, while voting rights groups said Trump’s legal effort is based on an “incoherent conspiracy theory.”
In a filing Saturday in federal court in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, the campaign said the effort can succeed even if Biden’s victory is affirmed by Monday’s deadline, because the result can still be reversed by a judge before a Dec. 8 “safe harbor” deadline for electors to be chosen.
