- A federal judge on Sunday placed a hold on a Trump campaign lawsuit that seeks to prevent Pennsylvania from collecting mail-in ballots at drop boxes.
- The Trump campaign had claimed the drop boxes would enable voter fraud, but failed to present any evidence to support its argument.
- US District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan said he would "apply the brakes to this lawsuit" in order to let Pennsylvania courts decide whether the drop boxes are legally permissible.
- A recent poll found that the vast majority of Pennsylvanians who plan to vote by mail intend to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden.
- Trump won Pennsylvania in 2016 by less than 45,000 votes.
