The new court filing argues the state's Republican-controlled legislature should select the electors that will cast votes in the U.S. Electoral College system.

In his first argument in federal court since 1992, Giuliani pushed false allegations on behalf of the Trump campaign that Democrats nationwide had conspired to steal the election.

Trump's campaign dropped the allegation that hundreds of thousands of mail-in and absentee ballots were illegally processed without its representatives watching.
