Breaking Points with Krystal and SaagarOct 27, 2026
The 64-case count and the overwhelming loss record are supported: a 2022 'Lost, Not Stolen' report, cited by USA Today, counts 64 cases across six swing states, all lost except one in Pennsylvania.
A detail. The sources confirm the gist; the verdict faults a detail such as a date, number or wording.
A guest makes this claim. Listeners heard it, so it counts against the post, and on the guest's own record.
What was said
… But, you know, did you read the lawsuit, or at least in your Times analysis of it, their call for an investigation, the federal court, obviously, or the fact that it was already decided at the Alaska level, the feds court wise? And as we saw post 2020, what was Trump's court record? It was, like, oh for 64 state court. I mean, the federal courts are dramatically deferential to the states on election matters, for good reason, which is the states run the elections.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Trump obtained a favorable ruling in one post-election case, a Pennsylvania order on ballot-curing deadlines, so the record is not zero wins.[3][4]
Supports. USA Today (2026) reports that the 'Lost, Not Stolen' report counted 64 cases brought by Trump and allies across six swing states, and that all but one were lost.[4]
Context. Other counts differ: NBC cites about 60 lawsuits with one success, and Amark counts 82 lawsuits with four wins across federal and state courts, so the 64-case total mixes courts and is not strictly state-court.[3][5]
Context. Courts across the cases, including Trump appointees, rejected the allegations on the merits or procedurally, consistent with a near-total loss record.[1][2]
