that.
and yes, affidavits (a.k.a. sworn statements) are considered evidence.
... Wayne County elections officials encouraged fraud, including changing legal names and dates on ballots, ballot-harvesting, voter intimidation, and preventing poll watchers from challenging irregularities in the vote-counting process.
Yes indeed; an affidavit can form part of the evidence considered by a court.
However, there are many cases in which both sides in a disputed case submit affidavits, and only one side can win. So anybody who said "We have affidavits in support of our case! So our claims must be correct, and if the court does not give judgement for us, that proves that we were cheated by an activist court [etc. etc]!!" would be a bit naïve, or even disingenuous.
When you says that "Wayne County elections officials encouraged fraud ...", then as you know from the court's point of view that is read as "The plaintiffs allege that Wayne County elections officials encouraged fraud ...". How, on the whole, have courts responded to allegations of that kind from Trump's legal team? Not very positively, I seem to recall.

Federal court rejects Trump election lawsuit in Pennsylvania

Joe Biden gains votes in Wisconsin county after Trump-ordered recount
A recount in Wisconsin’s largest county demanded by President Donald Trump’s election campaign ended on Friday with the president-elect, Joe Biden, gaining votes.
After the recount in Milwaukee county, Biden made a net gain of 132 votes, out of nearly 460,000 cast. Overall, the Democrat gained 257 votes to Trump’s 125.
Trump’s campaign had demanded recounts in two of Wisconsin’s most populous and Democratic-leaning counties, after he lost Wisconsin to Biden by more than 20,000 votes. The two recounts will cost the Trump campaign $3m. Dane county is expected to finish its recount on Sunday.
Overall, Biden won November’s US presidential election with 306 electoral college votes to Trump’s 232. Biden also leads by more than 6m in the popular vote tally.
After the recount ended, the Milwaukee county clerk, George Christenson, said: “The recount demonstrates what we already know: that elections in Milwaukee county are fair, transparent, accurate and secure.”
The Trump campaign is still expected to mount a legal challenge to the overall result in Wisconsin, but time is running out. The state is due to certify its presidential result on Tuesday.
