9 legal experts say Trump's lawsuit challenging election results in Pennsylvania is dead on arrival

[634-5789]

Trump's campaign launched its broadest challenge yet to the results of the election that appears destined to push him from office, accusing Pennsylvania officials of running a "two-tiered” voting system – in-person and mail – that violates the U.S. Constitution.

Legal experts said the case has little chance of succeeding, for a variety of reasons: Courts are wary of invalidating legally cast ballots. The issues raised, even if true, don't represent a constitutional question. And mail voting, used in many states, is both common and constitutional.

The suit has "lots of complaints about different things, and it’s not easy to see how they all fit together," said Kermit Roosevelt, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania Law School who focuses on constitutional law.

"This has a very 'throw it all at the wall and see what sticks' feel," he said.
