The New York Times reported that the Trump administration has “ramped up its efforts in the courts” to push claims of voter fraud, and that judges at all levels have turned those claims away. The article was written by Abbie VanSickle, Zach Montague and Ann E. Marimow and is titled in part around what judges have said about the administration's election-related lawsuits, as covered in the New York Times report on judges' statements about the administration's election-related lawsuits.
CBS News reported that federal judges have rejected several legal challenges related to the midterm elections. Its video report, headlined in part as an election law expert saying the “legal system is working” as judges toss midterm-related claims, is available through the CBS News video report on judges tossing midterm-related claims. The summary names CBS News' David Becker as the reporter providing more detail, but it does not name the expert quoted in the headline.
ABC News reported that its legal contributor, James Sample, broke down rulings involving elections in California and Alaska in a video segment on where the Trump administration's legal battles stand on Election Day. The ABC News video segment on the administration's legal battles summary does not say what those rulings held or which side prevailed in them.
The three reports differ in emphasis. CBS News and The New York Times describe judges rejecting challenges, while the ABC News summary covers rulings without stating their outcomes. None of the available summaries names the specific cases, courts or judges involved, and none gives a total count of claims beyond CBS News's description of several challenges.
The CBS News and ABC News videos and the New York Times article were published on Nov. 2 and Nov. 3, according to their publication records. Each summary is limited to a headline or short description, so the full reporting in each piece may contain details not reflected here.
