When is he going to just give it a rest? It's hopeless and everyone seems to know it except for him and his most die-hard cult members.

No one should be allowed to just fucking file lawsuit after lawsuit. Why don't the courts tell these fucks to go eat shit?! We allow too much bullshit in this country.

Most of the others were either filed on behalf of the campaign or individual Republican voters.

And it seems that's also the case for his lawyers. The firm representing him isn't even based in Wisconsin. They're in Indianapolis and the three lawyers don't have any expertise in election or Constitutional law. The lead attorney is a sports lawyer and one of the others is a bankruptcy attorney.

Only the best and this seems to be the best he can do at this point.
