New Wisconsin lawsuit filed by Trump in Federal Court. Just Trump. Not Pence. Not the campaign. The complaint seeks a declaration that a number of actions by the state elections commissions and mayors in five cities violated the constitution, and asks the court to remand the case to the state legislature so that it can devise a proper remedy. The lawyers are a firm in Indiana, a firm I've never noticed before this case.
Republicans have filed election contests for the Senate race and five house races in Minnesota, as well as a lawsuit for an extended audit.
The Krakken has surfaced in the middle of the desert. Krakken IV has been filed in Arizona. Same basic complaint, same request for TRO.

In the Arizona election contest, the initial inspection of 100 damaged ballots found one ballot that had been transcribed incorrectly (changing Trump to Biden) and one where the voter had filled in the bubble for Trump and had voted for Trump as a write-in candidate. Plaintiff claims the latter was not counted as an "overbite" but was supposed to be counted. Plaintiff has moved for a continuance of the trial/hearing, which was set for today and a more extensive survey of the damaged ballots (or even a complete canvas, depending on how many damaged ballots there are).
The Wisconsin Supreme Court has dismissed the Trump campaign's petition that requested relief under the court's original jurisdiction. It did the same with the other original jurisdiction lawsuit.
