This is an illustration of how small the fights are the Trump campaign is picking. They are losing in court everywhere, but even if they win their cases, it's not enough votes to change the results.
As someone who litigates a lot of post-election cases, I find it all quite odd.

We need to watch what they are doing besides these nuisance legal filings.
I an really glad judges are not going along with their nonsense, though.
Ty for posting, Roland!

(1,102 posts)5. Trump's historical tactic has been to file lawsuits
to create a negotiating situation. In this case, there is none.
He is just going to anger blue state voters and judges. Any sympathy to offer him in deal in upcoming NY prosecutions was destroyed.

(35,438 posts)6. Yeah but the lawyers still get paid no matter how ridiculous the lawsuit is.
Billable hours.
