President Trump and his campaign continue to challenge the outcome of the November presidential election, with a series of cases still underway less than two weeks before election votes are officially counted by Congress on January 6.
Here is an analysis of the main remaining cases and where they are.
SUPREME COURT WITHOUT HURRY TO HEAR THE CASE OF THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN, DEFINE DEADLINE FOR RESPONSE TWO DAYS AFTER OPENING
Pennsylvania
The last legal measure in the Trump campaign was in the form of a Supreme Court petition filed on Sunday asking the court to hear disputes over several Pennsylvania state court decisions. The petition refers to three state court decisions that eliminated the signature verification requirements for absent votes and the proper filling in of ballots and allowed ballot box observers to be kept at a distance where they could not fully observe the counting process, while they were present in the room.
The petition also included a fourth case, which has already been brought to the attention of the Supreme Court, where the campaign contested the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision that extended the deadline for accepting ballots sent to three days after election day. The court has not yet announced whether it will hear the case.

In its petition, the Trump campaign insists that the January 6 date is not a deadline and that they have at least until the day of inauguration on January 20. On Thursday, however, the Supreme Court gave Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar until January 22 to respond to Trump’s petition before deciding how to move forward.

Georgia
The state of Georgia was decided by less than 12,000 votes, and the Trump campaign is contesting the result alongside Republican voter David Shafer. The campaign sought an urgent measure with the Federal Supreme Court, which referred it to the lower court, where it was attributed to judge Constance Russell, who will retire at the end of 2020.
The Trump campaign insists that thousands of votes have been tainted by fraud, but Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger insisted on a Georgia House hearing on Wednesday that “the vast majority of the allegations we saw online and in the media , and we even discussed in the Capitol corridors are simply unfounded. “

Wisconsin
In Wisconsin, President Trump sued the state electoral commission, claiming that the state violated its own electoral code in several ways, including allowing absentee voting for everyone, having unmanned ballot boxes and counting ballots where observers could not properly view the process.
A federal district court ruled against Trump, but the president is currently appealing the decision.
New Mexico
The Trump campaign opened a case in New Mexico’s federal court on December 14, in which they claim that New Mexico’s Secretary of State, Maggie Toulouse Oliver, unduly altered state election procedures without legislative consent, allowing voters to vote in unmanned boxes.

The campaign action requires an investigation of the ballot case through the ballot box or an order allowing the state legislature to determine which party voter should be used.
Biden obtained 306 electoral votes, well above the 270 needed to become the next president.
