Trump vowed to challenge the outcome in court even before the recount concluded.

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.

The Trump campaign wants to prevent certification of results that give President-elect Joe Biden the state's 20 electoral votes, suing over election procedures that were not uniform across the state.

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

The president has pledged to go forward with a legal strategy that he hopes will overturn state results that gave Biden the win in Tuesday’s vote.

Over the last 24 hours, Biden has turned a corner, but there are still hurdles to cross for both candidates.
