The Trump legal team had said it would not consider this election certification deadline as the expiration date for its litigation of the election results. Every state except Wisconsin met the December 8 statutory 'safe harbor' deadline to resolve disputes and certify voting results. Trump, his attorneys, and his supporters falsely asserted widespread election fraud in public statements, but few such assertions were made in court. This ruling affected very few votes, and it was later overturned by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. Only one ruling was initially in Trump's favor: the timing within which first-time Pennsylvania voters must provide proper identification if they wanted to “cure” their ballots. In one instance, the Trump campaign and other groups seeking his reelection collectively lost multiple cases in six states on a single day. Judges, lawyers, and other observers described the suits as ' frivolous' and 'without merit'.

Nearly all the suits were dismissed or dropped due to lack of evidence.

Among the judges who dismissed the lawsuits were some appointed by Trump himself. Legal challenges to result of 2020 United States presidential electionĪfter the 2020 United States presidential election, the campaign for incumbent President Donald Trump and others filed and lost at least 63 lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in multiple states, including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
