Pa. governor says he'll 'fight like hell' to continue counting votes
After the Trump campaign filed a petition with the Supreme Court to halt the counting of ballots in Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf held a news conference to respond, saying they will continue to count ballots in the state.
"This afternoon, the Trump campaign filed a lawsuit to stop the counting of ballots in Pennsylvania. That is simply wrong," Wolf said. "These attempts to subvert the democratic process are simply disgraceful."
Wolf, a Democrat who has faced heavy criticism from Trump, went on to say, "I'm going to fight like hell to protect the vote of every Pennsylvanian."
While the Trump campaign argues in the Supreme Court filing it wasn't given "meaningful access … to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process," Wolf argued the state election process has "never been more transparent than it is right now."
A commonwealth court scheduled an initial hearing for the filing for 7 p.m.
ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl said Trump's strategy "seems to be to basically create doubt about the integrity of the election itself, which seems to be reflection that he believes that if all the counting goes on to conclusion, he will not emerge in the lead."
