How ballots are counted or supervised in Pennsylvania is being hotly disputed, that’s as President Trump’s lawyer is raising questions of election integrity in the keystone state.
This is how poll observation was “allowed” in Philly until court order came through yest mandating 6 ft distance (went in effect from 10:30am Thurs but unclear when actually happened given the argument over enforcement that ensued). So for day & half give or take- zero oversight. pic.twitter.com/Aq6EzPrqcm

Speaking with Fox News, lawyer Rudy Giuliani said “We now have up to a count of about 650,000 ballots that are unlawful ballots that were cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.” The two cities are the largest in the state.
He added almost none of these ballots were observed by republican observers. Under state election law, all parties have to have watchers while the votes are counted.
In a ballot location in Philadelphia, GOP poll watchers had to use binoculars. Even so, one later testified that “it’s really impossible to see even using binoculars.”
Trump’s campaign filed lawsuits in Pennsylvania, and Giuliani said they may have enough evidence to flip the election results there.
President Donald Trump’s campaign on late Wednesday highlighted several alleged cases of deceased people voting during last week’s presidential election in the key state of Pennsylvania.
