Moreover, with the appearance of new counsel, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the Scaringi Firm, and new factual developments, the Campaign intends to file a second amended complaint to make clear that there was intentional misconduct by the Defendant Boards of Election, which deliberately excluded Republican/Trump observers from the canvassing in order to facilitate counting mail ballots which did not comport with the signature, date, and other requirements of Pennsylvania law, the document continues. .............(more)

But I also understand that the Judge would be facing an ethics violation and possible sanctions.

(9,170 posts)Not only is this piece of fetid sludge worthy of sanction, I havent seen that they filed for leave to amend a second time even though the judge expressly reminded Rudy was required.

(24,761 posts)That's what the Orange Sore Loser is doing--filing one frivolous lawsuit after another as a delay tactic to prevent the election from being certified, as if he were entitled to be installed despite the fact he clearly lost.
