Here's one in Arizona, from https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2020/11/24/trump-campaign-announces-public-hearing-arizona-but-lawmakers-say-none-planned/6416716002/
Trump campaign announces Arizona public hearing on election, but lawmakers say none is planned
President Donald Trumps campaign announced Tuesday that the Arizona Legislature would hold a public hearing on Nov. 30 about the election, but legislative leaders said they had not authorized any such meeting. The campaign touted the hearing as one of three in battleground states where it is disputing Trumps defeat. It was reportedly scheduled for the same day officials are set to certify Arizonas election results. But the campaign did not offer any details, such as the time of the hearing or the name of the legislative committee that will convene.
News to me, Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, replied when asked about plans for a hearing. The Legislatures calendar for Monday is currently blank, and a spokesman for Fanns office confirmed she had not authorized any such meeting. Over in the House of Representatives, a spokesman for Speaker Rusty Bowers, R-Mesa, said he had not authorized a hearing, either.
And then, there's this one in Michigan from https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2020/11/24/trump-campaign-announces-michigan-house-hearing-isnt-happening/6414843002/
Trump campaign announces Michigan House hearing that's not happening
Craig Mauger
The Detroit News
Lansing President Donald Trump's campaign announced Tuesday that the Michigan Legislature would hold a hearing on election integrity Dec. 1, but the event won't occur, a key GOP state lawmaker said. Trump's campaign said Michigan was one of three states where lawmakers will "hold public hearings on the election" in the coming days. There were discussions about having Rudy Giuliani, the president's personal lawyer, testify, state House Oversight Committee Chairman Matt Hall, R-Marshall, told The Detroit News.
"Weve just determined that logistically its not something were going to be able to do," said Hall, adding that the Trump campaign has been invited to submit written testimony. On Monday, the Board of State Canvassers certified statewide election results, cementing President-elect Joe Biden's 51%-48% or 154,000-vote victory over Trump in Michigan.
Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, has previously said the Trump campaign identified 300,000 "illegitimate ballots" in Michigan but he has not provided evidence to back up his claim. A Wayne County judge labeled similar allegations made in a lawsuit challenging the certification of results in the county "not credible."

rallies. So, this can be a substitute - he gets worshiped AND gets to gripe about the election.
