While the vote count slowly but surely declined, Trump’s leadership in several states initiated legal proceedings from his multi-state campaign organization to challenge the election result.
Trump has made wide accusations that the election is riddled with fraud and the campaign has urged voters to contact her to inform them of wrongdoing. There is no indication that the elections did not go well.
However, Trump warned even before the election that he would take an outcome he did not like in court. Multiple lawsuits are likely to be filed. The ones that are happening or have ended right now are about the states there that became decisive for the outcome of the elections:
Georgia. In a lawsuit, Republicans claimed that several ballots in the Chatham area, near Savannah, had been received before the deadline. As the claim could not be supported by any kind of evidence, the case has been dismissed. Georgia announced Friday that it will recalculate all votes in the state, as the numbers so far are very uniform, but there are no suspicions of voter fraud.
Michigan. Trump and the Republicans demanded that vote counting be halted until Republicans are given greater observer access to the vote count. It was also rejected by a judge who determined that all the votes had already been counted. Election results in Michigan are typically reviewed within 40 days after the election, and anyone who suspects wrongdoing can request a recalculation from certain districts.
Pennsylvania. A court ruled in favor of the Republicans in a similar case, giving them a greater understanding of the ongoing work of poll workers. In a new case, they require additional access. Transparency does not change the vote count at all. The Trump campaign also pushes cases in which some voters have not identified themselves.
Wisconsin. Given that Joe Biden won the election here by a margin of just 0.6 percent, the Trump camp is intent on demanding a recalculation of the votes. Formally, such a claim can only be made when all the votes have been counted. Under Wisconsin election law, a political candidate can be given a recalculation if the margin is less than one percent. However, many analysts note that Trump is unlikely to have anything to gain from a recalculation. The lead percentage is small, but it is still an advantage for Biden of more than 20,000 votes.
Nevada. Trump has said the state should be sued for counting the votes of thousands of displaced and deceased voters. There is no indication that this is the case.
Lawsuits have also been reported in Arizona.
Joe Biden has been low, expressing confidence and urging everyone to wait for the vote count, but he is preparing behind the scenes to defend himself legally if necessary.
At the same time, Trump’s legal team is frantically searching for ways forward. The Trump campaign claims it just wants to make sure all votes are guaranteed to be counted, but it speaks with a split tongue: they want to count them in states where it can benefit Trump; but he stops counting when a long process puts him at a disadvantage.
Donald Trump has been completely open with the fact that he hopes that newly elected Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett will help him win the election. By creating a secure conservative dominance, Trump hopes he will judge election-related matters in his favor.
However, the Trump campaign cannot simply count on the assistance of the Supreme Court. For a lawsuit to get there automatically, it must pass lower courts and HD must grant it permission to appeal. The nine judges of the Court are well aware of political pressure. It is not unlikely that they are willing to show their independence and independence.
President Trump He reiterated on Friday that he will take legal action to challenge the election result.
“We will continue this process on all aspects of the law to ensure that the American people have confidence in our government. I will never give up the fight for you and our nation,” he said in a White House statement, according to Reuters.
