Attorney General William Barr has authorized the Department of Justice to investigate any "substantial allegations" of voter fraud in the 2020 election.
Barr wrote that investigations may be conducted if there are clear and apparently-credible allegations of irregularities that, if true, could potentially impact the outcome of a federal election in an individual State.

The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in several key battleground states that Biden won, asking local judges to either invalidate or stop counting mail-in ballots, a record number of which were cast this year amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Some Republicans have backed Trump's claims of voter fraud or his right to challenge the count, while others have moved on to congratulating Biden on winning the White House.

Barr visited McConnell in his Senate office today. I wonder what THAT was about?!
All Republican legislatures, three of five with Dem governors.
The Hill has done some fairly good reporting. This piece is not an example of that. :^(
So if only 50 votes were required to switch a lesser election that wouldn’t qualify as substantial. Got it Bill.
Five or six more opportunities for someone to read an important story.
They will do as thorough a job as they did investigating the criminal use of FISA. So yea, you're right.
