		Here is the Evidence
		Court Listener			**Decided on Merits means the Plaintiff was able to argue the facts of the case, and, if applicable, given opportunity to present evidence via Discovery.
		Public Interest Legal Foundation			(For example, Discovery might entail an independent investigation to verify the accuracy of the claimed voting malfeasance, impropriety, etc.)
		Wikipedia Pre- and Post-Election 2020 Election Lawsuits			For the lawsuits that were voluntarily dismissed, we entered "NA" in the Merits column. For those cases still open, we entered "TBD".
		Note 1: Some Non-Merit reasons for stopping lawsuits from going forward are for: a) Standing, b) Timing [Laches],  c) Judicial authority [Jurisdiction], and d) Moot (e.g. not enough malfeasance to make a difference). In each of these situations, the case was not fully heard.
		In US Supreme Counrt Cases, "Cert Denied" means that the case will not be heard, and the lower court's decision stands. This happens in 90%± of cases submitted to SCOTUS. It does not necessarily mean SCOTUS agrees with the lowe court.
		In the "Dismissed Moot/Cert Denied" cases above, the majority of the judges did not state why they would not hear these cases. However, Judge Thomas wrote a strong argument against denying Cert here, and he objected to other judges using Moot as an excuse.
		Note 2: Disposition breakdown of the 92 lawsuits: Non-Merit = 45 (beige);  To Be Determined (TBD: active) = 4 (white);  Trump/GOP Statutory Wins = 23 (green);  Trump Statutory Losses = 8 (red);  Voluntarily withdrawn (due to consolidation, etc.) = 12 (blue).
		[Two cases resulted in a split verdict. One was labelled as a loss, and the other as a win.]
		Note 3: Since several lawsuits were based on new election regulations (e.g. pertaining to absentee ballots), reportedly due to COVID-19 concerns, this is a list of such changes (by state):						here.
		Note 4: One of the several complexities in putting together such a list, is how to handle cases that are appealed. For example, should one case appealed twice be treated as three cases or one?
		The argument for treating them as three cases is due to the facts that: the judges are different, the amount of evidence presented may be different, etc. In our initial versions of this list, we took this approach.
		However, there are downsides to that treatment: it artificially inflates the appearance of actual cases litigated; do we indicate that this is one case open or three? etc. Although either way has merits, we are now counting such situations as one case.
		Note 5: Another complexity is to sort through the multitude of cases filed having to do with 2020 election issues. E.g. the Stanford site (see above) lists 470± such cases (including appeals). We just selected those that directly applied to the Presidential contest.
		That said, we make no claim that this is the entirety of 2020 Presidential election-related cases, but rather those that we were able to find from the several sources cited. If we missed any relevant cases, please send us an email and we will gladly do an update.
