The ‘flags’ mentioned by President Trump can be interpreted as addressing CISA’s statement of the 12th, “The presidential election held on November 3 was the safest in the history of the United States.”

Political outlet The Hill reported that Trump Camp and his supporters filed more than 20 lawsuits focused on extending the deadline for voting by mail and complying with the counting rules, but they only won in a few small cases.
