John -- when extreme Republicans lose their elections, they have a new playbook: refuse to concede and flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits.
This was front and center in 2020 when Donald Trump lost and pushed to overturn the election in courtrooms across the nation.
In total, Trump and his surrogates filed 62 lawsuits contesting election processes, vote counting, and the vote certification process in nine states. Nearly all of these were dismissed or dropped.
And last election, his MAGA allies running for Secretary of State followed suit:
Kirstina Karamo filed lawsuits before her double digit loss in Michigan. Jim Marchant tried to overturn his loss in Nevada. Mark Finchem is still pushing lawsuits to overturn his loss in Arizona.
The list goes on…
With the ringleader of the election-denier movement at the top of the ticket this November, we expect more court cases and more chaos leading up to, and after, November 5th.
