NJ.com published an op-ed written by John J. Farmer, Jr., Eagleton director, about whether President Trump's legal challenges have merit.

Boockvar. That case challenges the decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to allow certain ballots received after Nov. 3 – and up to Nov. 6 – to be counted... The Court should walk away from this fight," wrote Farmer.
