That would be much worse behavior than Trump's current tantrums. Trying to prevent someone having access to the law courts is a fundamental denial of their human rights.

Trump has a right to have his grievances, real or imagined, heard in the law courts, although he has already lost 4 cases so his lawsuits don't seem to be going anywhere.

One theory is that Trump will tie the States up in legal knots to attempt to prevent them from certifying the election results in line with legal deadlines. After certification the next step is to nominate the people who actually go vote the electoral college votes which officially would elect the President. There seems to be a crackpot theory that if the results have not been certified the Republican governed states will nominate Trump supporters who will cast the electoral college votes in favour of Trump so he is declared the winner.

All crazy unconstitutional stuff but I don’t put anything past him.

And he has yet to produce the evidence to back up his allegations when asked. I think he knew he was likely onto a hiding to nothing for a while and I think he has shown little or no respect for the office of US President throughout his term and I think he has split the US right down the middle and divided the nation.

TBF that idea about electors not voting in line with the popular vote in their respective states seems to come up every 4 years. There is never anything in it and it never happens in a meaningful way.

Electors who vote against their popular vote are called "Faithless Electors" and they only tend to be symbolic votes that cannot possibly change the result. In fact most Faithless Electors don't even vote for the opposing candidate -- they switch their vote to a third party candidate or a write-in candidate or they abstain altogether. They aren't meant to change the result -- just to make a statement.

That would be difficult to achieve, because in order to prevent a state from certifying their election results he would have to find a legal challenge that would potentially make an impact, i.e. the difference between the vote totals of the candidates would have to be smaller than the ballots at stake in the lawsuit. It's not looking that way at the moment, because so far the Trump lawsuits have been small-scale legal challenges that most likely could not move many votes.
