No, and despite 4 dozen cases (probably more including GOP cases) launched by Trump where there would be an opportunity to present the evidence they have failed to provide anything.
It turns out when it's not facebook or fox news and a lawyer realized they could be in deep shit for lying the evidence just evaporates, presumably to the same place as hunter's laptop.
Exactly this. The pattern repeated so many times.
During a press conference or on Facebook/Twitter: "We have iron clad evidence of massive voter fraud and once we present this in court the judge will have no choice but to reverse the election results!"
In front of a judge during court: "Your honor, we have no actual evidence but we'd like you to reverse the election results because they are highly inconvenient to our goal of remaining in power."
Nitpick: At least 6 dozen.
There were 60 cases brought by Trump alone, and not a single shred of evidence was provided in a single one. In fact, if I recall correctly, several of the lawyers outright stated that they weren't trying to actually claim voter fraud, leading at least one judge to ask "then what the hell are we doing here?"
Then you have the cases that Keri Lake continues to bring in Arizona, and the cases brought around the country that I'm not even bringing up here. I think even 6 dozen is a conservative (no pun intended) estimate.
And not a single one of them even tried to actually present the evidence they claimed to have. Probably because they didn't want to be disbarred before lunch.
