The Senators falsely claim the courts ignored the Trump campaign's challenges, and say there's a need for "resolution of the multiple allegations of serious voter fraud."

So let's talk about the actual lawsuits filed by the Trump campaign.

Spoiler: there was no voter fraud.

Pennsylvania: the Trump campaign filed suit in federal court, presented evidence to a federal district court, and got an expedited appeal. The court asked them about voter fraud. Trump's campaign said "this is not a fraud case."

/2

Wisconsin: the Trump campaign sued in federal court, got an evidentiary hearing and an expedited appeal. They did not allege any instances of voter fraud, they "objected only to the administration of the election," with arguments they should've raised before the election.

/3

Georgia: the Trump campaign sued in state court a *month* after the election, and botched their filing. They did not allege a single unlawfully cast vote, much less voter fraud.

/4

Arizona: three weeks after the election, the Trump campaign sued over Sharpie pens potentially causing overvotes. They had no evidence of anything, much less of voter fraud.

.@marceelias & @DemocracyDocket litigated much of this, go read the filings yourselves: democracydocket.com/case_type/post…

The Trump campaign had their days in court for "resolution of the multiple allegations of serious voter fraud." They presented nothing because they had nothing.
