Commotion: Trump Administration and Election-Related Lawsuits

Almost a week after Election Day in the United States, commotion around the position of President has not even come close to settling down. President Donald Trump has not conceded the election to rival Joe Biden, despite near-universal projections of a Democratic victory.

Instead, Trump has engaged in a sweeping series of lawsuits in an effort to undermine supposed voter fraud which (according to him) resulted in an illegitimate President-Elect Joe Biden victory. Thus far, evidence of deliberate election interference has been minimal and weak in the eyes of judges.

Said lawsuits have been filed in Arizona, Michigan, Georgia, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania. The last of these has been the subject of six lawsuits since Election Day. Of the numerous legal cases filed, three of them have been called in favor of Trump, while five have been unsuccessful. Several are awaiting decisions or have been appealed.
