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

0:06.0

It is day 46 after the election. The litigation count stands at one out of 59.

0:11.6

Trump is won one single case. That didn't get him any votes. And just when you thought things were getting boring, team cracking roars back.
