(CNN) A federal judge in Pennsylvania has denied the Trump campaign and Republican Party's bid to make ballot dropboxes in Pennsylvania unconstitutional, in a resounding defeat for the campaign's challenges to voting policy in a key battleground state. He also rejected Republicans' fears of voter fraud, saying it's possible but not proven likely. "While Plaintiffs may not need to prove actual voter fraud, they must at least prove that such fraud is 'certainly impending.' At most, they have pieced together a sequence of uncertain assumptions," Ranjan wrote in the 138-page opinion. Ranjan, who was appointed to the bench by Trump, noted that Pennsylvania's state officials and state Supreme Court settled many of questions of voting already for the November election.
