I was going to review Trump's attempts to get the Nov 3 vote overturned in American courts, to illustrate how utterly empty are his claims that the election was stolen. As noted in the video below, Trump's lawyers have had two successes and thirty-three failures so far.
In fact, this YouTube video beat me to it.

As may be seen here, Trump's lawyers received a mass of affidavits and were able to conclude that many of them were false. They set these aside and then went ahead and submitted the remaining affidavits that they suspected were fraudulent but that they could not absolutely prove were false, as the evidence they needed to put the election in Arizona into question. It should be clear that they did this as they had absolutely no other evidence to support their case.
This is the standard of proof that has been offered by Trump's lawyers...
Evidence that is suspicious but that counsel cannot absolutely prove is false - in spite of very real suspicions based on the rejection of similar evidence from the same sources - is good evidence of the facts asserted in the said evidence.
Except that it isn't.
Lawyers cannot knowingly submit evidence to a court that they reasonably suspect is false. These lawyers will face sanction by their governing bodies.
There is no doubt that, with 50 different electoral processes in the USA, there were likely technical and other glitches in the Nov 3 vote.
Nonetheless, Trump has no case for overturning this election, anywhere.
