The Trump Campaign responded to a ruling from an Obama appointed judge in Pennsylvania by saying it would actually help them get it to the Supreme Court, which is their goal.

A lawsuit filed by the Trump Campaign in Pennsylvania argues that President Trump should be named the winner of the state.
The Hill:
President Trump‘s campaign filed a lawsuit on Wednesday over election results in Pennsylvania, arguing that he should be named the winner in the battleground state and that the GOP-controlled state legislature should be given the authority to assign its electoral votes, according to reports.
The suit also argues that the campaign’s constitutional rights were violated because observers were not given adequate access as election officials processed mail-in ballots.Â
The claim was dropped in an earlier version of the lawsuit.
The campaign said in its new filing said that the claim was dropped due to a miscommunication among attorneys for the president. It also argues that 1.5 million votes across the state “should not have been counted†and that they led to “returns indicating Biden won Pennsylvania.â€Â

A Pennsylvania court handed the Trump Administration a major win in court.
Fox News:
A Pennsylvania court ruled in favor of the Trump campaign on Thursday, ordering that the state may not count ballots where the voters needed to provide proof of identification and failed to do so by Nov. 9.
State law said that voters have until six days after the election — this year that was Nov. 9 — to cure problems regarding a lack of proof of identification.
After the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that mail-in ballots could be accepted three days after Election Day, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar submitted guidance that said proof of identification could be provided up until Nov. 12, which is six days from the ballot acceptance deadline. That guidance was issued two days before Election Day.
“[T]he Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline … for certain electors to verify proof of identification,†Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt said in a court order.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania.🗳ï¸
Judge orders segregated ballots should *not* be counted. It rules the PA Secretary of State “lacked statutory authority” to override election law. Critically, the state has a Republican state legislature.#SCOTUS may ultimately decide the case now. pic.twitter.com/2VO6mkl66M

This was a straightforward issue. The Secretary changed the statutory deadline through informal guidance. Unclear how many ballots are impacted. She can appeal but it’s pretty cut and dry. https://t.co/l2EyeWGnF0

This could impact up to 100,000 ballots:
Pennsylvania.
State statute forbids destruction of ballot envelopes prior to two years. That illegal act throws into question auditing; thus, it could be argued, those votes cannot be certified.

Epoch Times:
More than 20,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have impossible return dates and another more than 80,000 have return dates that raise questions, according to a researcher’s analysis of the state’s voter database.
Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out—an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out. Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date. More than 9,000 have no sent date.
This is just the beginning.
