Biden's Lead In Pennsylvania Grows To 50K

PENNSYLVANIA — President-elect Joe Biden's lead in Pennsylvania has grown to about 50,000 votes, according to uncertified vote totals from the Department of State.

Biden has 3,378,474 votes to Donald Trump's 3,328,689, according to the tally as of 4 p.m.Wednesday.

There are still more than 50,000 mail-in ballots that remain to be counted. The bulk of the outstanding mail-in ballots are in Allegheny County, where there are more than 12,000 still to be tabulated. Philadelphia has nearly 8,500 mail-in ballots that need to be counted, and Montgomery County has nearly 4,000, according to information provided by the state.

Trump, who has not yet conceded the race, has filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania challenging the validity of the election results. It's the latest in an ongoing series of attempts to cast doubt on the outcome in swing states around the country after Biden was declared the projected winner of the presidential race on Saturday.

Filed Monday in federal district court, the suit aims to stop the Pennsylvania Department of State from certifying the final election results.

The lawsuit includes numerous allegations of illegal operations during the election without providing any hard evidence. Many of the claims have already been surfaced in other suits filed by the Trump campaign over the last week.

No hearing date had been scheduled as of Tuesday afternoon.
