President Donald Trump's campaign and Republican officials have filed dozens of lawsuits since Election Day in an effort to contest the results of the 2020 election.
The campaign filed lawsuits and motions to intervene in cases in swing states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
They've notched zero victories, 25 cases where they've withdrawn or lost, and have 12 cases pending.
Scroll down for a list of lawsuits the Trump campaign and Republicans have filed and where they stand.

Faced with the prospect of losing to a man he spent months hammering as corrupt, doddering, and mentally deficient, President Donald Trump is going on offense, spreading lies and conspiracy theories about a "rigged" election marred by "major fraud" from Democrats.

He's alternated between demanding that some states stop counting ballots, which he doesn't have the power to do, and saying that others should keep counting, which they were doing anyway.

To that end, the Trump campaign and other Republican groups have mounted at least 37 legal challenges since Election Day.

They've won zero.

The lawsuits argue that states and counties have violated election laws, playing into Trump's political strategy to discredit the results of the 2020 election that President-elect Joe Biden won.

Republicans have filed the lawsuits in local, state, and federal courts in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania — all states that Biden won or is projected to win, according to Decision Desk HQ data published by Insider.

The Trump campaign initially had a single win, when a Pennsylvania judge ruled on November 12 that first-time voters were supposed to confirm their IDs with county boards of election by November 9, rather than November 12. The decision opened the door to disqualify the ballots of people who didn't verify their IDs in time. But the state Supreme Court later overturned that decision.

That leaves Trump and other Republicans with at least 25 cases they have withdrawn or lost, and 12 that are still pending.

Here's a list of the lawsuits and where they stand

Pennsylvania — 10 losses, 5 pending
Nevada — 3 losses, one pending
Georgia — 4 losses
Michigan — 5 losses
Arizona — 2 losses, one pending
Wisconsin — one loss, 5 pending
