The Supreme Court turned down a long-shot request from Pennsylvania Republicans to reverse the victory of President-elect Joe Biden in the state. The nation's highest court refused to explain its decision, the first on the 2020 election since the president began raising questions over the legitimacy of the election results.

The Supreme Court strongly criticized Trump in the forum on which he had put his hopes on. In its order, the Supreme Court used just one sentence, without any noted dissents. This is yet another loss across the nation for Trump and his allies, who have repeatedly failed to even spark a dispute in the court's first ruling on a challenge to the election results.

The court currently comprises three Trump-appointed justices including, Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was confirmed in Oct. with the hope that she would vote with the president in election disputes. Much to Trump's chagrin, none of his appointed justices appeared keen on embracing arguments based on his conspiracy theories that election law scholars claim are frivolous and outlandish.

Trump and his Republican allies have lost nearly 50 challenges to the presidential election in the past few weeks, as judges in about 8 states have rejected a litany of baseless claims of mail-in ballots being improperly sent out and absentee ballots being wrongly counted. Moreover, the president and his allies have claimed that poll observers were not given proper access to the vote count and that foreign powers hacked and manipulated voting machines, The New York Times reported.

Trump and his allies have not even come close to reversing the election results in a state, while he would need to overturn the results of at least three states to take victory from his Democratic opponent. Moreover, judges around the nation have started to express frustration over his attempts to have the courts suppress the voters' will.

For instance, Philadelphia's federal appeals court rejected a different challenge to the results in the state in harsh rebuke. Appointed by Trump, Judge Stephanos Bibas pointed out the charges of unfairness in elections are serious, but calling an election unfair does not make it unfair. Bibas went on to say that charges require specific allegations and proof to back those allegations, but neither was available.

Furthermore, Bibas noted that it is the voters that chose the president and not lawyers, adding that ballots, not briefs decide the election. On Friday, Wisconsin Supreme Court's Justice Brian Hagedorn rejected the Republican attempt to reverse that state's election results.
