As his path to victory continues to evaporate, President Donald Trump is moving to stop key swing states from counting absentee ballots by filing legal challenges that could drag on the election even if Democratic opponent Joe Biden is named the projected winner by news organizations.

On Wednesday, as Bidens vote shares in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia crept up on the strength of mail-in ballots, the Trump campaign began to file multiple suits in those states. While the legal filings may not say so directly, these lawsuits will all hinge on Trumps false theory that the valid votes being counted in these states are somehow fraudulent. Trump has repeatedly, and falsely, cast suspicion on absentee ballots and promised early Wednesday morning to go to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop ballots from being counted.

There is no merit to these claims of fraud, nor any evidence presented. But the Trump campaign is pushing ahead anyway.

In Michigan, the Trump campaign said it filed suit in state court on Wednesday to halt vote counting, alleging that the campaign was denied access to numerous counting locations across the state to observe the opening of ballots.

In Pennsylvania, the campaign moved to intervene in a case that has already been before the U.S. Supreme Court once. The campaign said it is engaged in two other lawsuits designed to immediately stop the counting of ballots by challenging the states implementation of first-time voter identification rules and, as an appeal of a case that failed on Tuesday, by claiming the campaigns observers were not allowed proper access to watch the counting of ballots.

More lawsuits are expected to be filed in Nevada and North Carolina. The campaign is also pushing for a recount in Wisconsin.

Trumps legal effort is confused and contradictory. In Michigan, he is suing to stop ballots from being counted even though he trailed Biden in the state as of Wednesday afternoon. In Georgias Chatham County, the Trump campaign also asked a judge for a pause, and The Associated Press reported the campaign is considering peppering a dozen other counties around the state with similar claims around absentee ballots.

In Nevada, where Trump also trails, his campaign is pushing for the state to keep counting the votes, although that may soon change when absentee ballots start to come in under the extended ballot receipt deadline.

Trumps personal lawyers, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and conservative advocate Jay Sekulow, are being dispatched to key states to lead the legal response .

The Biden campaign said that it will win the election when all votes are counted and will defend that victory from any legal effort to stop votes from being counted.

His mission is to attack the democratic process; our mission is to defend it, Biden campaign lawyer Bob Bauer said on a press call Wednesday.
