I am not just trolling, just having a conversation about this.
Trump can sue all he wants unfortunately, but it doesn't mean that they are anything more than the hot air that Trump has spouted the last 4 years.
Just because he needs 1 of say 60 frivolous lawsuits to work to get something that might overturn something in one state, doesn't mean that it is even a close to a 1/60 chance.
I see Republicans in congress as not really having anything that they can do to stop Trump because of McConnell. But I don't think that there is actually anything that they are doing that is technically breaking the law (Trump sure he is already trying to avoid jail time).
I agree with the concern, all it takes is a enough people in a handful of states to be willing to break the law and crown Trump king. But outside of the usual suspects on the Republican side and Trump's cultists that are radicalized into breaking the law in their executive branch roles, or the ones becoming domestic terrorists, I haven't seen anyone willing to break the law because Dear Leader wants them to.

More Republicans Distrust This Year’s Election Results Than Democrats After 2016
Poll(s) of the week
President Trump’s refusal to accept the outcome of the election has sown distrust in the election, especially among Republicans.
According to a new
Monmouth University poll, about three in four Republicans now doubt the fairness of the 2020 presidential election, even though there is
no evidence that the electoral process was compromised in a way that could affect the outcome. And as you can see in the chart below, distrust among Republicans has skyrocketed since Election Day.
Monmouth isn’t the only pollster to find very high levels of distrust among Republicans, either. A
YouGov/Economist poll this week found that 73 percent of Republicans had little or no confidence that the election was conducted fairly and a
Morning Consult/Politico poll found that 67 percent of Republicans thought that the 2020 election was either “probably” or “definitely” not free and fair.
It’s important to stress that all three pollsters did find that a majority of Americans accepted the results — roughly 6 in 10 — but what is worrisome is that only about 4 in 10 said they were very confident that the election was conducted fairly and accurately.
This is troubling, because as my colleague Perry Bacon, Jr. wrote earlier this week
on Trump’s refusal to concede, there are now very real questions about American democracy and whether it will remain intact.

This, of course, isn’t
the first time Trump has tried to sow doubt in the democratic process. Before and after the 2016 election, Trump
falsely claimed that millions of undocumented immigrants were going to vote in the election, or that “people that have died 10 years ago are still voting,” even though there was
never any evidence that these claims were true. And, as was the case
ahead of the 2016 election, Republicans once again were
more likely than Democrats to believe these fraudulent claims as they went to the polls.
The key difference between now and 2016, though, is that after the election, a majority of Republicans are still unwilling to accept the result. That wasn’t true of Democrats in 2016.
