At this point in time I dont think anything is off the table however absurd it may seem. |
GA, PA and AZ all flip, I don't see Trump getting unanimous support from his piers. He will be clutching at so many straws, and traditional republicans will dial into that mentality if they believe he will fail. That is my prediction. |  |

This is a summary of all the legal challenges out there: (from Guardian)
Michigan ballot-counting fight
Trump’s campaign said on Wednesday it had filed a lawsuit in Michigan to stop state officials from counting ballots. The campaign said the case in the Michigan Court of Claims seeks to halt counting until it has an election inspector at each absentee-voter counting board. The campaign also wanted to review ballots that were opened and counted before an inspector from its campaign was present.
Pennsylvania court battles
Republican officials on Tuesday sued election officials in Montgomery County, which borders Philadelphia, accusing them of illegally counting mail-in ballots early and giving voters who submitted defective ballots a chance to re-vote. At a hearing on Wednesday, US District Judge Timothy Savage in Philadelphia appeared skeptical of their allegations and how the integrity of the election might be affected.
In a separate lawsuit, the Trump campaign asked a judge to halt ballot counting in Pennsylvania, claiming that Republicans had been unlawfully denied access to observe the process.
Meanwhile, Republicans in Pennsylvania have asked the US Supreme Court to review a decision from the state’s highest court that allowed election officials to count mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day that arrived through until Friday 6 November. On Wednesday, Trump’s campaign filed a motion to intervene in the case.
Supreme court justices said last week there was not enough time to decide the merits of the case before Election Day but indicated they might revisit it afterwards. As a result, Pennsylvania election officials said they will segregate properly postmarked ballots that arrived after Election Day, which opens the possibility the court could subsequently strike them out.
US Postal Service litigation
A judge on Wednesday said Postmaster General Louis DeJoy must answer questions about why the USPS failed to complete a court-ordered sweep for undelivered ballots in about a dozen states before a Tuesday afternoon deadline. US District Judge Emmet Sullivan is overseeing a lawsuit by Vote Forward, the NAACP, and Latino community advocates who have been demanding the postal service deliver mail-in ballots in time to be counted in the election.
Georgia ballot fight
The Trump campaign on Wednesday evening filed a lawsuit in state court in Chatham County, Georgia. Unlike the Pennsylvania and Michigan actions, that lawsuit is not asking a judge to halt ballot counting. Instead, the campaign said it received information that late-arriving ballots were improperly mingled with valid ballots, and asked a judge to enter an order making sure late-arriving ballots were separated so they would not be counted.
After the announcement just now that there will be a press conference in Nevada this morning featuring the Republican chair of the state and attorneys, presumably we’ll be able to add Nevada to that list soon. |  | | |

I actually think the Supreme Court and other more moderate republicans will leave Donald high and dry if it seems like a lost court, particularly if a Senator run-off occurs in Georgia. No SPJ wan't to be impeached by a senate that could swing slightly democrat in January if the run-offs go their way. |
The Supreme Court doesn't, or hasn't until now, made judgements based on the president who appointed them. Obviously judges are appointed based on how they might vote as much as competence but it is not the guarantee Trump and some of the media seem to think it is. (I'll try and dig out the analysis I read on this later if I remember).
Coney Barrett might test that to the limits of course. |  |

They have an added number now who was not involved in those.
Was tied 4 - 4 as one voted against his own party but another challenge would see a 5 - 4 in favour.
They could potentially vote to nullify any votes received after election day. [Post edited 5 Nov 2020 14:03]

As judges, they can interpret the law, but they can't completely ignore it. |  |

Coney Barrett will, but once you are a SCJ - you have a job for life if you keep your nose clean. Most will be servants of the US constitution, but the name you mentioned is a different breed. | |

And even better.
Trump is saying if you didn't allow the other side to vote, he'd win.

From the BBC:
"The Republican Party in Nevada confirmed it is planning to file a lawsuit in the state, claiming that about 10,000 votes were cast by people who no longer live there."

The Trump campaign is just an unmanned firehose of desperation at this point. Trump has fired anyone remotely talented, strategic or intelligent in their deviance over the last four years and he's paying for that now. He's working with dregs here. | |
