Apparently the GOP observers in Wisconsin are challenging every single ballot, slowing the recount process to a crawl. I do wonder if they could delay the certification in Wisconsin by doing this.The likelihood of the Trump campaign delaying the certification of the vote in even a single state is extremely low, so low as to not be worth considering. The Trump campaign's lawsuits are not filed with the intention to win on the merits in any event (or even to survive a motion to dismiss, for that matter). The strategy mainly seems to throw everything at the wall and jam as much shit as possible into the filings to confuse and overwhelm the public. Courts don't give a shit about an unsworn affidavit by a guy in Texas who claims that Dominion raped and murdered his wife, but if you slap it in your filings and show it off to your base, people who don't know any better might think you're on to something. Rudy and Powell get up and have their press conference talking about things they never alleged in court or in their pleadings to drum up media attention and fleece more money out Trump's base. Everyone walks away with a nice little Christmas bonus.
The only case I can think of that has a chance to meaningful impact the vote total (although not the outcome of the election) is Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, which isn't a Trump campaign case and existed before the election began.
