Let’s say that the overwhelming evidence becomes so irrefutable that President Trump’s lawsuit succeeds in winding its way through the courts.
Up to the Supreme Court.
President Trump is the offended party who has suffered the most...excluding Americans who voted for him.
On what would the Court base its decision?

I’m not a lawyer. But I’ve seen almost every episode of ‘Perry Mason’. So I think that qualifies me to take a wild, uneducated guess.
I’d first say that there has to be some legal mechanism to correct obvious fraud, even if that mechanism is not spelled out explicitly in the Constitution. Maybe it’s impeachment. But can you impeach a president if he personally has done nothing wrong?
So I see this as something like a civil suit. It’s up to a court (any court) to make the aggrieved party whole. How could this be done in Trump’s case? The Supreme Court could kick it back to the states, and tell them to pick new electors based on the new vote totals.
But as I noted earlier, there’s no chance the Court would do that (or anything else). It would upset Rachel Maddow and her buddies too much.
