Bet that none of it makes it to court, or that it is dismissed out of hand as the bullshit that it is.

Here are the facts about Trump’s efforts to question the fairness and integrity of the election, as well as updates on litigation. In each section, we’ve highlighted quotes so readers can see their significance at a glance.
The latest developments
A mob of Trump supporters breached barricades and stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 while formal certification of Biden’s victory was underway. Here’s how all members of Congress voted when the count resumed.
The House impeached Trump again, this time for “incitement of insurrection” in the deadly attack. Several Republicans voted to impeach. He was acquitted in the Senate on Feb. 13. See the evidence here, and read an annotation of Trump’s remarks to his supporters here.
There are dozens of legal actions now pending involving the post-election chaos and the former president’s role. Trump had called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Jan. 2, urged him to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in the state and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if he did not.
The Post reported on Jan. 9 that Trump also called a Georgia elections investigator and asked that person to “find the fraud.” Audio of the call released on March 10 revealed that The Post misquoted Trump’s comments, based on information provided by a source; what Trump said was the investigator would find “dishonesty” if she scrutinized ballots and told her she had “the most important job in the country right now.”
A top Georgia elections official rebutted Trump’s claims of fraud. Here’s the Post Fact Checker on the Raffensperger call. The acting U.S. attorney for Georgia told his staff Jan. 12 that “there’s just nothing to” claims of election fraud in the state.
Trump’s legal efforts have been struck down in federal cases in Georgia, Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania and in state courts in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, most recently on Jan. 4 and Jan. 5.
At least 86 judges from across the political spectrum, including some appointed by Trump, have rejected at least one post-election lawsuit filed by Trump or supporters, a Washington Post review found. The count is now up to 96.
The Supreme Court rejected a Texas lawsuit Dec. 11 that sought to void 20 million votes in four other states. The unsigned order found Texas lacked standing to intervene under the Constitution’s Article 3.
