There is still suspense on who will be the next President of America. US President Donald Trump has said many times that he will approach the Supreme Court against 'rigging' in the US presidential election, but this time there seems to be little chance of his path being easy in the court. Donald Trump has said several times in the last two days that the way the court interfered in the elections in 2000, it should do the same this time too. At that time the court had declared George W Bush the winner. In the court, five judges ruled in favor of Bush and four judges ruled against him. Currently, six members of the Supreme Court are conservatives, three of whom were nominated by Trump.
Things were different in America in 2000. Bush was leading in Florida at the time and had gone to court to stop the recount. Trump will have to convince the Supreme Court to ignore votes in two or more states to prevent his rival and Democratic candidate Joe Biden from becoming president. Jeff Justice John Roberts is in favor of keeping the political branches of government away from the court and believes that politics can harm the court's reputation.
On the other hand, Trump, who has claimed election rigging, has said, 'We will go to the US Supreme Court.' He tweeted, 'The US Supreme Court should decide.' Meanwhile, Biden seems to be getting closer to winning the White House. The Pennsylvania court allowed three additional days for votes to be received and votes received by mail to be counted. Trump has opposed this decision.
While the matter continues, the state's top election officer has directed that the votes received till 5 pm on Friday should be separated and counted. The Trump campaign and Republican leaders have filed legal challenges in several states, but most of these lawsuits are small-scale and will not affect much of the vote.
Trump and his campaign have talked about taking further legal action and have alleged election fraud. On the other hand, Biden's campaign has described the existing lawsuits as baseless. At present, according to the results that have come out so far, Donald Trump has lagged behind and Joe Biden seems close to victory. However, counting of votes is still going on.
