President Donald Trump's campaign filed a number of lawsuits across six battleground states this month as he tried to upend the 2020 election. The state Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit Saturday led by U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, saying it was filed months after a time limit in Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law allowing for challenges to it.
