Despite Joe Biden winning the election and presidential electors casting their votes last week in the Electoral College, the Trump campaign has continued to insist that the results are illegitimate and have disputed them launching several legal challenges with virtually all of them failing.
Almost fifty lawsuits have been launched by the Trump campaign in the last six weeks in an attempt to overturn the results of the election.

Each time, the suits have been thrown out by state and federal judges.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court rejected a key lawsuit from Texas that attempted to nullify millions of votes cast in key swing states that voted for Biden.
