US Supreme Court denies Republican bid to challenge Biden's win in Pennsylvania : Order

Washington, Dec 9 (Sputnik) The US Supreme Court has rejected a Republican bid seeking to nullify the certification of results in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, a court filing revealed.
"The application for injunctive relief presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," the court filing said on Tuesday.
US Congressman Mike Kelly had filed a request to the Supreme Court for an emergency injunction seeking to overturn November election results in Pennsylvania over expanded mail-in voting.
Another vital decision from the Supreme Court is pending related to a lawsuit submitted by the state of Texas this week. The lawsuit is asking the Supreme Court to block the swing states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from participating in the electoral college even though they have already certified election results that show projected President-elect Joe Biden as the winner.
The lawsuit argues that the state officials usurped the authority of state legislatures when they enacted election laws to allow for mail-in voting. The Texas officials also argue that the "appearance of voting irregularities" in the four states is consistent with the "unconstitutional relaxation of ballot-integrity protections" in the election laws of those states.
Trump refuses to concede and continues to dispute the validity of the vote in courts, accusing his rivals of massive election fraud in key battleground states.
