Welcome to Courtside, everyone. A discussion of the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump.

0:06.0

Sorry, this is coming so late. It has been a crazy day. It's day 37 after the election.

0:12.0

The world's biggest loser continues to do what he does best, lose. The count now stands at 1 out of 56.

0:19.0

Yes, Donald Trump has won 1 out out of 56 cases and the one he won

0:23.4

didn't do anything. He lost again in Pennsylvania, where the Trumpistas claimed that the voter
