I have zero interest in Trump's legal challenges. At these margins he has zero chance of litigating enough ballots to flip any states that would get him to 270. The litigation narrative is just cable news filler while we await more vote totals.
As I said before election day, Trump's only chance of litigating his way to victory would have been if the deciding state came down to a few hundred votes, like in the 2000 election. That's just not happening this time.
Even in the VERY VERY VERY unlikely scenario where Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona all come down to a few hundred votes, and he manages to flip them all in court, he still wouldn't be at 270. Next closest state for him would be Wisconsin, where he lost by 30,000 votes. Game over.
MSNBC and CNN spent a lot of time telling us about scary but highly unlikely (often literally impossible) scenarios, and presenting them as if they were realistically going to happen, to keep us tuned in during slower stretches. We have to learn to filter it out when we see it.
To be clear, Biden will win Pennsylvania by a much larger margin than he won Wisconsin.
Trump is focused on Pennsylvania because of how long it's taking and the original size of his lead there, but that's based on a naive misunderstanding of what he can and can't litigate.
