The Trump campaign announced Saturday that it has filed a petition demanding a recount in Georgia, a day after officials certified Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

In a statement, Trump’s legal team wrote “we are focused on ensuring that every aspect of Georgia State Law and the U.S. Constitution are followed so that every legal vote is counted.”

They added “President Trump and his campaign continue to insist on an honest recount in Georgia, which has to include signature matching and other vital safeguards.”

On Saturday, Judge Matthew Brann, a Obama appointed judge in Pennsylvania ruled that the Trump’s lawsuit has no basis, describing it as “strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations … unsupported by evidence.”
