Trump's efforts are just a loud farce.

States are confirming totals, finding a few random explainable human errors (which is to be expected), and certifying results.

The electoral college will meet as scheduled, and Joe Biden will be sworn in on Jan 20th.

Trump has been ranting, raving, and filing lawsuits for two and a half weeks. He has accomplished nothing except wasting money and dividing his party. The system is functioning as it should, and we are methodically rolling towards Trump's last day in office, and there is absolutely nothing he can do about it.
