He is, sadly, arguing things that do not matter. I mean, his arguments are so insignificant that even if we assume he is correct (which he hasn't proven, but let's go with it for the sake of discussion) he still would not win. We could grant him favorable rulings in every court case he has filed and it wouldn't change the outcome of this election. I'm not sure if people realize that.
In many cases, he is challenging specific ballots. That is his right. But even if he wins those challenges, those votes won't be enough to overturn the election. He simply doesn't have enough specific votes to challenge.
And even if he overturned a state (which he can't), none of the states he is challenging are enough to overturn the election.
It's laughable. Why is he doing this? Posturing I'd guess. He knows the election is unwinnable in court. He has some other goal. He must.

I believe what is going to happen is he is going to be able to pick out rare instances here and there of an improper or illegal ballot, or like in Michigan where there was a minor computer glitch that was corrected, and try to argue that the entire mail in ballot system should be thrown out and only in person ballots count. Feel that was his plan from the very beginning if he lost, he was going to end up discrediting the entire system. That is my biggest fear in this process. Also I feel he is going to rile up his supporters and use them to try to intimidate judges, the SOS, or other election officials.
