The thing is that I can perfectly accept the posibility of serious irregularities during an election, it is something which is within the realm of the possible. So in my opinion, assuming Trump and his lawyers actually believed there was something fishy going on, they did good on going to judges and file lawsuits. Those are the regular channels which are supposed to be taken in the United States.
But Trump and his team could not bring any evidence on the table which could convince those judges (many of them appointed by Trump himself, by the way) so the lawsuits got dismissed and forgotten.

Who was at fault there?

If you file a lawsuit and have no evidence, you're at fault. Actually it was worse than that. Not only did they have no evidence but also got repeatedly scalded by multiple judges for being illiterate buffoons (well, maybe not quite in those words) for trivial things like not filing the appropriate paperwork and not-so-trivial things like putting people in danger with their frivolous lawsuits.

The legal system is not supposed to be used like that. It did work as designed (the lawsuits got dismissed) but still there was a lot of damage done by the reckless conspiratardery that these muppets tried to push.

It catches my attention how Trump and his legal team actually focused on putting in the spotlight (in a very negative way) election workers and I think they never mentioned those state or federal judges who dismissed their lawsuits. I wonder why.
Perhaps, it has something to do with comparatively ease with one is able to smear a single person who does not have a position of power and a state/federal judge.
Though, it seems Trump is willing to cross that line when comes to judges who have something to do with with his personal legal problems.

I have seen in Twitter how videotapes of the election night are used to this day to call fraud on the election...
