Since 2020 , more than 30 local election officials in eight states have voted to delay or deny certifying election results.

Election certification is the final administrative step in the monthslong process that follows the November election.

Experts say the process has become increasingly politicized since Trump attempted to overturn the 2020 election.

Legal experts say the challenges are unlikely to succeed in the upcoming presidential race.

"They've been planning out their playbook for some time now," Morales-Doyle said of Trump 's questioning of the election's integrity. " One of the clear elements to that playbook is to try to use various institutions and people in positions of authority to provide a veneer of legitimacy to the attempts to overturn the outcome of the election.".
