The Attempt to Overturn the Election
Despite numerous legal efforts, Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election results have been unsuccessful. He has now resorted to pressuring election officials and making personal calls in an attempt to change the outcome. Two Republican election officials in Michigan initially refused to certify the results but later reversed their decision.

The strategy seems to be focused on creating doubt and preventing the certification of the elections.
