A Pennsylvania judge has ruled that the state is not allowed to count ballots where voters must provide proof of identity and did not do so by November 9.
This applies to ballot papers that have not been counted so far. It writes Fox News.
The lawsuit concerns around 10,000 votes, which has been disputed even before the count began.
State law states that voters have up to six days until after the election, which this year was November 9, to provide proof of their identity.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in advance of the election that ballot papers that arrived in the mail within three days of the election but had been stamped on election day should be counted.
The Secretary of State then decided that proof of identity could be presented up to and including 12 November.
Now the court concludes that the Secretary of State lacked the authority to send out the message that the deadline had been changed, Fox News writes.
Does not change the result
It has now been decided that these votes will be rejected, and will therefore not be counted – but will therefore not change the current result in the state.
Joe Biden won the election in Pennsylvania, where he received around 54,000 more votes than the incumbent president. The 10,000 votes would therefore not be able to influence the election, even if they were not rejected.
State law states that voters have up to six days until after the election, which this year was November 9, to provide proof of their identity.
Several lawsuits
Donald Trump’s lawyers have filed dozens of lawsuits in six states. In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada, the president is now trying to use the court system to change Joe Biden’s seemingly solid election victory.

The case, which was now upheld in Pennsylvania, was taken to court by the Trump campaign and the Republican Party.
The case is being updated.
