So there's two levels of election claims going on right now. There's the actual legal challenges, which mostly are about whether observers could "meaningfully observe" despite COVID restrictions and whether certain small-ball ballots should be counted.
And then there's what Rudy Giuliani is doing. This morning he told an alt-right web show that he had secured affidavits from secret whistleblowers that will show that computer software changed millions of votes in multiple states.
If you haven't heard of this "Dominion software" theory, it's not your fault. This is a deep-in-the-fever-swamps theory that isn't remotely in the realm of a possibility, but they claim to believe it is real with all their hearts.
It hasn't shown up in any of the actual lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign, though, because the attorneys would be on the hook if they knowingly lied to a court.
One other thing that's been bugging me. The Trump campaign lawsuits are trying to prevent the state from certifying the votes.
Why is this important? Because recounts cannot begin until the vote is certified. That's the disconnect between the lawsuits and the remedy.

If the Trump camp. really believes that poll workers secretly tallied thousands of fraudulent votes while GOP observers weren't standing close enough to see, there's an obvious remedy: count again.
But the lawsuits' very goal is to prevent (or at the very least) delay recounts.

I stand corrected. Dominion software does appear in the new federal Michigan lawsuit. Thanks, Mike.

Oh, this is useful. The Blaze surveyed the affidavits offered in support of one of the Michigan lawsuits. theblaze.com/news/affidavit…
