* During the spree of failed lawsuits UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump and his legal team filed in an attempt to overturn the 2020 US presidential election -- all of which fell through, [[FrivolousLawsuit largely due to their claims of voter fraud conspiring against Trump lacking any evidence]] -- [[https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/11/11/trump-lawyers-suffer-embarrassing-rebukes-judges-over-voter-fraud-claims/ one lawyer during a Philadelphia case was questioned by the federal judge]] on whether there were any Republican observers present while votes were being counted.
