Most of its lawsuits were filed in August or September.

No waivers have been issued,&#8221; Pierce said in an email.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">Lawsuits could depend on outcome<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Hornik said she would still file lawsuits if Trump won a state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It&#8217;s not about one candidate. There are 435 congressional seats up for re-election or new election in weeks,&#8221; Hornik said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">However, she declined to say if the lawsuits would be filed no matter the election outcome.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;That really depends on our resources, and we&#8217;re going to do everything we can to secure as much of the election as we can for the American people,&#8221; Hornik said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In addition to Pennsylvania, Texas, and Maryland, United Sovereign Americans has sued this year to challenge voter rolls in Georgia, Michigan, Colorado, North Carolina, Florida, and Ohio.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"gnt_ar_b_h2\">&#8216;No one needs to have another Maricopa Mardi Gras&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After the 2020 election, Trump spread misinformation about the election results in Phoenix&#8217;s Maricopa County, including <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/factcheck\/2021\/05\/18\/fact-check-false-claim-trump-maricopa-county-election-data\/5119684001\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|${u}\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">falsely claiming an election-related database had been deleted<\/a>.
