Pennsylvania aims to move election fight to state high court

Associated Press  

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania is asking the state’s highest court to use its extraordinary authority to take over another election-related lawsuit with critical questions that it says must be settled as soon as possible in a partisan fight between Democrats and Republicans in the presidential battleground state. In a Sunday night filing, state lawyers asked the state Supreme Court to take over a case filed last month by the state Democratic Party and currently pending in a lower court. In many ways, the Democratic Party’s lawsuit is asking state courts to rule the opposite of what President Donald Trump’s campaign and the national Republican Party are seeking in federal court in Pittsburgh. “Both voters and election officials need clarity on these critical election issues as soon as possible.” A lawyer for the state Democratic Party, Kevin Greenberg, declined comment Monday. In a court filing in late July, the Trump campaign and national Republican Party called the state Democratic Party’s lawsuit “in large part a mirror image” of their federal court lawsuit “and a transparent attempt to forum-shop away from federal court and into this court.” The federal court case is being handled by a judge who is a Trump appointee.
