President Donald Trump's campaign is hosting a press conference at the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC, on Thursday, where the president's lawyers are expected to lay out a "viable path to victory."
The press conference will feature former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Trump Campaign Senior Legal Advisor Jenna Ellis.
The update follows reports of discrepancies in hand-recounts, threats of intimidation against Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, and looming questions over the voting software used in 28 states.

Trump previewed the press conference in a Thursday morning tweet.
"Important News Conference today by lawyers on a very clear and viable path to victory. Pieces are very nicely falling into place,
Trump said:
Guiliani said, "This is not a singular voter fraud in one state. The pattern repeats itself in a number of states. Almost exactly the same pattern. Which, to any experienced investigator...would suggest that there was a plan from a centralized place to execute [voter fraud]."
Comment: Worth watching in full. Grab the popcorn.
Meanwhile, the campaign has made a few more moves, including asking a federal PA judge to let the Republican-controlled state legislature
select electoral college electors.
"This court should enter an order, declaration, and/or injunction that the results of the 2020 presidential general election are defective and providing for the Pennsylvania General Assembly to choose Pennsylvania's electors," the campaign wrote in its second amended complaint (pdf). The draft complaint was attached to a motion requesting the court to afford the campaign an opportunity to amend their claims in the case.
The lawsuit is seeking to block the state from certifying its election results, or to block the certification of results that include mail-in ballots that did not meet statutory requirements, were cured without authorization, or were cast in violation of the law. The campaign's suggestion to allow the state legislature to decide electors was proposed as an alternative to the invalidation of votes.
The campaign argued that it believes "statistical analysis" will find that "over 70,000 mail and other mail ballots which favor" Democratic nominee Joe Biden "were improperly counted" and "sufficient to turn the election."
President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani asked the judge during a court hearing on Tuesday whether the campaign could file a new complaint because it had erroneously removed their due process claim during one of their revisions of the complaint.
The Trump campaign also reinstated its claims that the due process, equal protection, and the elections and electors clauses were violated when campaign poll watchers were denied access to "meaningfully" observe the ballot-counting process. These claims were also removed in their amended complaint.
It also alleged that Democrats that controlled the county election boards, named in the lawsuit, engaged in a "deliberate scheme of intentional and purposeful discrimination to favor Biden over Trump." The election officials, the campaign claims, excluded Republican and Trump campaign poll observers from watching the counting of mail-in ballots to hide their decision to count ballots that should have been disqualified because of irregularities.
During the Tuesday hearing, Giuliani argued that "widespread nationwide voter fraud" claims weren't isolated and had been argued in courts in "at least 10 other jurisdictions," in a bid to keep the lawsuit alive.
They will also file a
major lawsuit in Georgia.
