Trump's election fraud - No poll watchers

The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit claiming their election-observers were not allowed to observe ballot counting in Philadelphia. However, in court their lawyer admitted that there were, in fact, campaign poll-watchers present at all times. A similar claim was rejected by a court in Michigan. While the lawyers raised complaints about the distance that watchers had to maintain, and the number of watchers allowed due to social-distancing rules - Trump campaign's poll watchers were present and subject to the same rules as all the other watchers.
