Republicans have made claims of election irregularities in five states where President-elect Joe Biden leads in the vote count, alleging in lawsuits and public statements that election officials did not follow proper procedures while counting ballots in Tuesdays election.
So far, they have gone 0 for 5.
Since Election Day, President Trump has repeatedly claimed that a broad conspiracy of misdeeds apparently committed in both Republican and Democratic states had cost him the election.
But in the lawsuits themselves, even Trumps campaign and allies do not allege widespread fraud or an election-changing conspiracy.
Instead, GOP groups have largely focused on smaller-bore complaints in an effort to delay the counting of ballots or claims that would affect a small fraction of votes, at best.
And, even then, they have largely lost in court.
