I'll let this passage from an article in Tuesday's Washington Post speak for itself. It's titled, "Courts view GOP fraud claims skeptically as Democrats score key legal victories over mail voting."
In the third paragraph, they write -- "A review by The Washington Post of nearly 90 state and federal voting lawsuits found that judges have been broadly skeptical as Republicans use claims of voter fraud to argue against such changes, declining to endorse the GOP’s arguments or dismissing them as they examined limits on mail voting. In no case did a judge back President Trump’s view — refuted by experts — that fraud is a problem significant enough to sway a presidential election." You can read the full piece here. This seems to comport with an excellent article last week in Slate, written by Joshua A. Geltzer and the always-wonderful Dalia Lithwick, who is not remotely a rose-colored glasses kind of person, but laser-focused objective. It was titled, "The Biggest Battle for a Safe, Fair Election Is in Our Heads." Their point is that the legal system is pretty-well set-up to deal with any attacks on the electoral process, and that the larger hurdle will be Trump trying to play with people's minds to get them to think the results aren't fair and have been rigged. You can read that piece here.
