Trump lost his reelection bid at the ballot box. But he said he could win it back in court.
In five key states, Trump and his allies filed lawsuits that according to Trump would reveal widespread electoral fraud, undo President-elect Joe Bidens victory, and give Trump another four years. Biden did not win, he lost by a lot! Trump tweeted.
Its not going well.
Rather than revealing widespread or even isolated fraud, the effort by Trumps legal team has so far done the opposite: Its affirmed the integrity of the election that Trump lost. Nearly every GOP challenge has been tossed out. Not a single vote has been overturned.
The Trump legal team does not seem to have identified any kind of global litigation strategy that has any prospect of changing the outcome of the election, and all of the court filings to date underscore that as do all of the court rulings that have been issued to date, said Robert Kelner, a Republican lawyer who chairs the election and political law practice group at Covington & Burling, an international law firm based in Washington.

Trump's been successful before not because the law was on his side but rather most people didn't have the deep pockets to fight a protracted legal battle with him. He's not dealing with the small time contractors he's used to ripping off.
