Washington: The US Supreme Court on Tuesday shocked Donald Trump’s effort to overturn his election loss when it denied his allies’ attempt to block the certification of votes in key state Pennsylvania. The US Highest court comprises with nine judges did not explains it decision, and none of the members expressed dissent.

Out of nine judges of the US highest court, three of them are Trump’s appointed judges. More than a month since the November 3 election, Trump still refuses to concede to Democrat Joe Biden — who has a seven million-vote lead — and continues to make baseless claims of fraud. Trump and his allies have filed dozens of lawsuits in several key states, almost all of which have been thrown out by the courts.

One of them, brought by Republican congressman Mike Kelly, challenged the legality of mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, a crucial battleground state. Biden carried Pennsylvania in November’s vote, four year after Trump won the state. After the case was rejected by the state supreme court, the plaintiffs turned to the national Supreme Court, asking it to freeze all electoral operations while they developed their arguments.

In dismissing the case, the Court put an end to the procedure and signaled that it is not inclined to get involved in post-election litigation. Trump had hoped that the high court, whose bench he has tipped solidly to the right, would intervene in his favor. The Republican-led state of Texas filed another appeal Tuesday to the Supreme Court, requesting the invalidation of results in four key states, but experts were not optimistic regarding its chance of success.
