"It’s all a continuation of the never ending Witch Hunt," Trump tweeted. "Judge Brann, who would not even allow us to present our case or evidence, is a product of Senator Pat 'No Tariffs' Toomey of Pennsylvania, no friend of mine, & Obama - No wonder." 

"WILL APPEAL!" the president added in a subsequent tweet.

Judge Matthew Brann ruled on Saturday the Trump campaign's case alleging ballots cast by mail in the Keystone State were treated differently than those made in person was "without merit" and dismissed it. 

"In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state. Our people, laws, and institutions demand more," Brann wrote

In the weeks following the presidential election, the Trump campaign has mounted legal challenges in Pennsylvania and other  battleground states Biden flipped from red to blue with limited success. In Pennsylvania, Biden is leading Trump, who has not conceded the election, by more than 80,000 votes.

“With today’s decision by Judge Matthew Brann, a longtime conservative Republican whom I know to be a fair and unbiased jurist, to dismiss the Trump campaign’s lawsuit, President Trump has exhausted all plausible legal options to challenge the result of the presidential race in Pennsylvania,” the senator said in a statement. 

Trump's lawyers indicated that they are planning to take the Pennsylvania case to the Third Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Reuters reported.
