Some of the Trump team's lawsuits only demand better
access for campaign observers to locations where
ballots are being processed and counted. A judge in
Georgia dismissed the campaign’s suit there less than
12 hours after it was filed. And a Michigan judge
dismissed a Trump lawsuit over whether enough GOP
challengers had access to handling of absentee ballots
Biden attorney Bob Bauer said the suits were legally
“meritless.” Their only purpose, he said “is to create an
opportunity for them to message falsely about what’s
taking place in the electoral process.”
Weissert reported from Wilmington, Delaware.

With his pathway to re-election appearing to shrink,
Trump on Thursday advanced unsupported accusations
of voter fraud to falsely argue that his rival was trying
to seize power. It amounted to an extraordinary effort
by a sitting American president to sow doubt about the
democratic process.
“This is a case when they are trying to steal an election,
they are trying to rig an election,” Trump said from the
podium of the White House briefing room.
The president's remarks deepened a sense of anxiety in
the U.S. as Americans enter their third full day after the
election without knowing who would serve as president
for the next four years. His statements also prompted
a rebuke from some Republicans, particularly those
looking to steer the party in a different direction in a
post-Trump era.
Neither candidate has reached the 270 Electoral
College votes needed to win the White House. But
Biden eclipsed Trump in Wisconsin and Michigan, two
crucial Midwestern battleground states, overtook the
president in Georgia and was inching closer to doing
the same in Pennsylvania, where votes were still be
counted.
It was unclear when a national winner would be
determined after a long, bitter campaign dominated by
the coronavirus and its effects on Americans and the
national economy. The U.S. on Wednesday set another
record for daily confirmed cases as several states
posted all-time highs. The pandemic has killed more
than 233,000 people in the United States.
