GOP files emergency request at Supreme Court as Biden overtakes Trump's lead in Pennsylvania

Republicans in Pennsylvania have filed an emergency request at the US Supreme Court to separate mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day but before a deadline of 6 November, which officials have already been ordered to do, as vote counters continued to process ballots that could determine the fate of the presidency. In a separate case, a federal court judge has denied a GOP request to toss out Pennsylvania ballots that had been “cured”, or contained errors that were corrected. The filing before the US Supreme Court argues that elections officials have not segregated late-arriving ballots postmarked by Election Day, though Pennsylvania’s secretary of state had agreed to the policy.
