Similarly, dozens of lawsuits from Trump’s campaign and allies failed after the 2020 election – nearly all of them, in fact. State officials in 2024 acknowledged a little more than 3,000 duplicate ballot images. But duplicate ballot images are not the same as counted votes, and officials couldn’t determine that any of them were actually tabulated in the recount. A local official cited human error for the duplicate ballot images. The statute of limitations is generally five years, and the 2020 election is now just outside that window.
