Trump campaign legal fight keyed to court of public opinion

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The Trump campaign's effort to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election increasingly is moving from a legal setting to the court of public opinion, where the campaign continues to sow doubt about the contest's integrity and hopes to win over public officials with a role in certifying the results.

The shift in focus coincides with the appointment of Rudolph Giuliani to head the campaign's legal effort. The former New York mayor's strategy reportedly entails a longshot bid to pressure Republican lawmakers in key battleground states to approve pro-Trump electors rather than certify their state's popular vote.

Although the campaign has little success to show in the courts, at least by any traditional measure, the flood of post-election litigation is likely a major contributor to the perception among Trump's supporters that the vote was tainted by widespread fraud. About half of Republicans believe Trump rightfully won the election, but that it was stolen from him by widespread fraud, and nearly seven in 10 Republicans said the election was rigged, according to a Reuters poll.

A dizzying 24 hours of developments in Michigan and Pennsylvania shows the interplay between the Trump campaign's seemingly scattershot legal effort, the stoking of his supporters' distrust of the election result, and Trump's influence campaign over public officials who hold levers of power in the mechanics of the election.

Trump's going to need to convince more than his sycophants. I don't see it happening.
