According to the Trump administration, as well as prominent former Democrats (Gen Flynn, Lynn Wood) and many Republicans, the 2020 Election amounted to an electoral insurrection, with courts and executives suspending or not enforcing state election laws in an attempt to guarentee the outcome of the 2020 election. Among the rules which were not enforce were voter ID checks, signature checks, ballot counting observers, and technical security guidelines.
The RNC immediately began collecting sworn affidavits (which become enforcable if admitted as evidence in court) from Republican election observers in several states and the Trump campaign immediately prepared to request recounts in these states. As time went on, there was fierce disagreement over which kind of audits should be performed and which were over-zealous for the circumstances. Both Arizona and Georgia were prepared to do a full audit, but neither actually did in the end. The day after announcing the audit, the Georgia governor's future son-in-law was killed when his car hit a tractor-trailer and exploded (a very rare occurrence in traffic accidents), leading some to speculate that his car (a 2016 Mercedes) was hacked by adversaries in retaliation.
As soon as the states completed their counts and certified their election results, the Trump campaign then took the case to court in several states arguing that the elections were improperly conducted in those states in such a manner that it changed the outcome of the Presidential Election, a matter that the supremem court has jurisdiction over. However, as no single state had done enough to change the outcome, and the Trump campaign said it was the aggregate of state actions which changed the outcome, the lower courts dismissed the lawsuits on procedural grounds, including being too late because the crime was already committed and the rules could no longer be changed. One judge ruled that the Trump campaign should rather have sued before the election, even though at that time there was no injury yet.
As of April 2021, no sworn affidavits have been submitted in court, as all of these cases have been throw out on introduction. A few cases not based on sworn affidavits have gone to trial and been ruled on.
