Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Nevada are the states where courts are now expected to rule on hasty Trump campaign submissions. Trump and his advisers briefly argue that the vote count needs to be re-counted. The reason is alleged to be lack of transparency, violations of constitutional rights and the risk of miscalculation.
“STOP THE COUNT!” Donald Trump tweeted on Thursday afternoon, upholding demands that no more votes be counted. The protests by Democrats and Joe Biden’s campaign headquarters did not go unnoticed.
“All votes must be counted,” Joe Biden replied.
As you know, this is not the first time that Donald Trump has used the law book in the presidential election. Previously, he demanded that the Supreme Court disqualify late-arrival ballots in Pennsylvania, one of the key states where the fight against challenger Joe Biden is the toughest.

Trump campaign manager Justin Clark has solemnly stated that the moods are in the best interests of the country in mind. The law is, according to Trump, the maximum guarantee that the democratic rules of the game are followed. But is it that simple?
“He does not see the law as a set of rules to follow or ethical ideals to respect, but as a weapon to use against his opponents.”
That description of President Donald Trump is given by New York prosecutor James D. Zirin in the 2019 book “Plaintiff-in-chief.” “Plaintiff” means plaintiff, that is, one who sues another party in court, and even In the 2016 election, Trump and his company filed around 1,900 lawsuits in various US courts. The alleged breaches of contract, debts, tax issues and defamation have been part of the reasons.

How, then, has the offensive legal strategy turned out? Well, according to the same newspaper. Of the cases that led to a public verdict, Trump’s side won 451 times while losses were 38. But even more cases, around 500, were never raised because Trump’s lawyers were deemed to have no reason for their claims.
This may also be the case in current legal attacks on the electoral system. That’s the opinion of at least several observers who analyzed the letters, including fellow party members of Donald Trump.
“Admitting a loss is not a possible path so soon after the election, so they launch a lot of lawsuits and hope that one of them will follow the path,” Republican and former campaign general Ben Ginsberg told CNN.

“None of the reasons given by Trump qualify as strong legal arguments,” Joshua A Geltzer of the Georgetown Law Institute told the Washington Post.
But perhaps the moods have already served one purpose: to keep the image of Donald Trump as a fair fighter in their own ranks, even if he would ultimately prove to be the loser of the election.
