Byron York’s Daily Memo: It’s all over but the lawsuits
The Trump campaign continues to file lawsuits challenging election results in several key states. But so far, nine days after the election, it has not filed any challenge that appears likely to overturn the results in any state.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden’s lead in those states appears unsurmountable. In Pennsylvania, Biden leads by 53,244 votes. In Michigan, Biden leads by 148,645 votes. In Wisconsin, Biden’s lead is 20,546 votes. In Georgia, where there will be a recount, it is 14,057 votes. In Arizona, it is 11,635 votes.
Assuming Trump wins North Carolina — and it appears he will — he would have to overcome Biden’s leads in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania to win re-election. He could do it with some other combination of states — Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan, or Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, or something like that — but the fact is, Trump would have to flip at least three states where Biden has a substantial lead with few votes left to count.
