What happened in each of these states?
Arizona
“The Trump campaign, the Republican National Committee and the Arizona Republican Party filed a lawsuit that alleges that “overvotes” were “incorrectly rejected”. A representative for Maricopa County stated that only “180 potential overvotes” are at stake in the case.[45] The Trump campaign requested that their evidence be kept secret from the public, but the judge refused to allow the secrecy.[46] The Trump campaign also stated that they had video footage from within a polling area; however, such footage would be illegal if taken within 75 feet of a polling area with voters present.[46] On November 10, 2020, Associate Presiding Civil Judge Daniel Kiley accepted a request from Snell & Wilmer, the law firm which was representing the Trump campaign and its allies, to withdraw from the Arizona lawsuit.[47][48] On November 11, 2020, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich rejected Trump’s voter fraud claim during an interview with Fox Business and stated that Biden would win the state of Arizona.[49][50] On November 13, the Trump campaign dropped their lawsuit, after it became evident that the number of votes potentially to be contested would not overcome Biden’s margin of victory in the state.[51]“

Georgia
“Due to the close margins in the initial election results, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on November 11 that a full audit by hand would be conducted.[4] The audit was completed on November 18,[5][6] and Biden was confirmed to be the winner on November 19.[7]“

Pennsylvania
“State Republicans sought to require that only mail-in ballots received by Election Day be counted. The Commonwealth’s Supreme Court rejected their demands, deciding that, due to probable delays due to the ongoing coronavirus and U.S. Postal Service crises, ballots received up to three days after Election Day would also be counted, so long as the ballots were postmarked by Election Day.[9][10] Republicans then appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court. Supreme Court justices produced a 4–4 tie (as the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s seat remained vacant when the ruling was issued), with Chief Justice John Roberts siding with the three liberal justices, allowing the state supreme court decision to stand.[9]“

More than 60 lawsuits were filed by the Trump campaign challenging the results in these and other states, only one of these suits resulted in a Trump victory, and it did not even come remotely close to changing the outcome.
