Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Hobbs2 The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit claiming votes in Maricopa County were mishandled and wrongly rejected. Like Aguilera v. Fontes (filed on November 4; voluntarily dismissed on November 7), it alleged that ballots completed with a Sharpie were not counted by the ballot processing machine. The Trump campaign then dropped the suit because the small number of ballots would not have overturned Biden’s lead.3 The lawsuit was dismissed on November 13. |
Dismissed |
AZ |
November 12 |
Arizona Republican Party v. Fontes4 A suit by the Arizona Republican Party against Maricopa County. It sought to expand the state’s election audit by calling for a hand count of “precincts” not “voting centers.” Superior Court of Arizona judge John H. Hannah dismissed the case on November 18. |

December 2 |
Bowyer v. Ducey7 Republican electors sought to decertify the 2020 presidential election results. US District Court judge Diane Humetawa dismissed the election challenge on December 9. In her ruling, Humetawa wrote, “Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court. They most certainly cannot be the basis for upending Arizona’s 2020 General Election.”8 The US Supreme Court denied a subsequent writ of mandamus. |
Dismissed; Denied |
AZ |
December 4 |
Stevenson v. Ducey9 Republican voters, members of the Arizona Election Integrity Association, sought to vacate the certification of the 2020 presidential election. Their claims included a charge that state officials allowed for “double voting.” |

AZ |
December 7 |
Burk v. Ducey10 Pinal County judge Kevin D. White dismissed a lawsuit filed by Staci Burk, an individual voter. Burk filed the challenge late and she was not a registered voter during the 2020 general election. Therefore, she was not eligible to file the election contest. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the dismissal on January 5. An appeal was made to the US Supreme Court on March 3, 2021, no decision has been reached. 11 |
Dismissed |
Georgia |

November 13 |
Wood v. Raffensperger14 This lawsuit, filed by pro-Trump lawyer L. Lin Wood, challenged the use of absentee ballots in the general election results. On November 19, federal judge Steven Grimberg, a Trump appointee, rejected the lawsuit, responding, “He has not presented any evidence demonstrating how he will suffer any particularized harm.… The fact that his preferred candidate did not prevail in the General Election … does not create a legally cognizable harm, much less an irreparable one.” |
Dismissed with Prejudice |
Wood appealed to the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the district court’s decision. The US Supreme Court denied Wood’s petition on February 22, 2021, and the case was dismissed with prejudice on February 24. |

Wood v. Raffensperger15 Filed by the right-wing group Georgia Voters Alliance on behalf of an “aggrieved elector.” This election contest sought to “nullify the presidential election results in Georgia and block the state from certifying the results so that the Georgia General Assembly could appoint electors.” Biden electors successfully intervened, and the superior court of Fulton County granted their motion to dismiss on December 8. |
Dismissed |
GA |
November 25 |
Pearson v. Kemp16 This lawsuit alleged that Dominion Voting equipment “rigged” the presidential election and it attempted to decertify Georgia’s election results. On November 30, a federal judge barred election officials from “altering, destroying, or erasing, or allowing the alteration, destruction, or erasure of, any software or data on any Dominion voting machine” pending the lawsuit.17 After this ruling, the plaintiffs (represented by a legal team that included Sidney Powell) embarked on a lengthy court process that included several appeals. Ultimately, Powell withdrew the lawsuit from the 11th Circuit and US Supreme Court on January 19, 2021. |
Dismissed |
GA |
November 30 |
Boland v. Raffensperger18 A lawsuit filed by Paul Andrew Boland, an individual voter. It alleged that ballots were cast by out-of-state voters. Judge Emily K. Richardson of the superior court of Fulton County dismissed the case on December 8, writing, “The allegations in the complaint rest on speculation rather than duly pled facts.” Following an emergency appeal to the Georgia Supreme Court (which was dismissed), the voter voluntarily dismissed the lawsuit on January 7, 2021. |
Voluntarily Dismissed |
GA |
December 4 |
Trump v. Raffensperger19 An election contest filed by Trump, the Trump campaign, and a Trump elector. It alleged “significant systemic misconduct, fraud, and other irregularities” occurred and “many thousands of illegal votes” were included in the vote tabulations.

Dismissed |

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v.

Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvar37 Filed by the Trump campaign on November 10, this lawsuit challenged election results in key Democratic counties.

Pennsylvania attorney general Jos Shapiro called the suit “meritless.”38 The lawsuit underwent a lengthy sequence of appeals. |
Denied |
Federal judge Matthew Brann dismissed the suit on November 21. Brann wrote, “In the United States of America, this cannot justify the disenfranchisement of a single voter, let alone all the voters of its sixth most populated state.” He added, “One might expect that when seeking such a startling outcome, a plaintiff would come formidably armed with compelling legal arguments and factual proof of rampant corruption.… That has not happened.”39 On November 27, the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals denied a preliminary injunction pending appeal. Judge Stephanos Bibas, a Trump appointee, wrote, “Free, fair elections are the lifeblood of our democracy. Charges of unfairness are serious. But calling an election unfair does not make it so. Charges require specific allegations and then proof. We have neither here.” |

Dismissed |
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court upheld the order on November 23, writing that although some “failures” such as a missing date on the outer envelope of a ballot are a “technical violation of the Election Code, do not warrant the wholesale disenfranchisement of thousands of Pennsylvania voters.” |

November 21 |
Kelly v. Pennsylvania43 Republican candidates, including US representative Mike Kelly, and individual voters sought to block the certification of the presidential election results. “Specifically, the suit asked the court to exclude vote-by-mail ballots from the certified results or alternatively direct the general assembly to choose its own electors.” On November 25, the Pennsylvania Appeals Court ordered to stop the certification process.

The lawsuit also referenced “the voting process at the TCF Center,” a polling location that did not exist in Wisconsin.

Denied |
WI |
December 2 |

Both the Democratic National Committee and the NAACP intervened. On December 12, the district court dismissed the case with prejudice, with Judge Brett Ludwig writing that a “sitting president who did not prevail in his bid for reelection has asked for federal court help in setting aside the popular vote based on disputed issues of election administration.” The US Supreme Court denied Trump’s petition on March 8, 2021. |
