Trump’s Legal Team Sets a Precedent for Lowering the Bar - The New York Times



Trump’s Legal Team Sets a Precedent for Lowering the Bar - The New York Times
By Mark Leibovich

WASHINGTON — President Trump, who said there would be so much winning in his White House that Americans would grow tired of it, is of a different mind-set these days. He is not, apparently, tired of losing.

Which is what he and his allies keep doing in their desperate efforts to overturn an election that Mr. Trump did not win.

The president’s win-loss record in court cases alleging election fraud or other irregularities now stands at 2 to 32, according to a tally maintained by Marc Elias, a Democratic election lawyer. Mr. Elias updated his score on Friday afternoon after a court in Nevada rejected a Republican effort to request a new election. Nevada went for Joseph R. Biden Jr.

On Thursday, the president had claimed on Twitter that he had “a very clear and viable path to victory” and that “pieces are very nicely falling into place” for his re-election.
