And even that 1 wasn't a real win was it?

I think the terseness was part of the "judgement", it was showing that they won't be swayed by the theatrics.
Zero. He wasn't the plaintiff in any of them.

He loses them so fast they are dated before you finish typing a sentence.
What would be interesting is to look at all the cases that were brought to court that were about fraud.....

No, they never argue fraud in court. Only in press conferences.

Trump was the plaintiff in four cases in Wisconsin.
Three of those cases are really the same case. Trump filed in Wisconsin Supreme Court and they said he had to file in the lower court first. He then filed in two Wisconsin jurisdictions. That was where he inexplicably named Biden as a defendant. Those were consolidated into one case. That case was dismissed.
The fourth is Trump v. Wisconsin Elections Comm'n. That was dismissed 12/11 (by a Trump appointed judge).

Giuliani did claim fraud in court. Then the judge gently reminded him what that would actually mean, and he changed his mind and said that he wasn't alleging fraud.

That was funny.
Well, it was a win, but on a minor issue, obviously not related to all the fraud claims, with relatively few ballots affected.
The Pennsylvania Secretary of State wanted three more days to "cure" absentee ballots for which the voter didn’t submit valid identification.
These additional days were denied in the court case.
It is not clear how many ballots were affected. According to the AP article linked below, it was a subset of 10,000 ballots.

But it's still a win. Of course it didn't matter, but it's a suit they brought that they won.

Disappointed in Trump tweets last night. His heart just wasn't in it.

And IIRC the ballots in question had been segregated and not added to the tallies, so all the ruling did was prevent them being considered. Net zero effect on the totals.

On the day after the election in 2016, the gay son of one of HRC's family friends was having an adoption party for him and his partner. Hillary couldn't make it, but she called him up to congratulate them and express her regrets for not being able to attend.
That was the day after losing the presidential election, and she still cared enough about a friend to call them to congratulation their gay son on the adoption of a baby. She didn't go to her room and pout.

Andrew Torres on the last Opening Arguments podcast, successfully forecast this result. I think it has to do with the word “shall” regarding the Supreme Court taking cases concerning two or more states.
He outlines the absurdity and consequences of such an interpretation, but this was just Alito and Thomas being consistent.

Yeah, that's vague. I think those 10000 votes were the total number of mail-in ballots that contained errors (0.4% error rate). But as I said, this lawsuit is only about a) mail in ballots that b) contain errors that c) were not cured by Nov 9 and that d) the voter still wanted to cure by Nov 12.
The only report of specifics I heard was that a reporter asked an election official in Alleghany county and he said that it did not affect any votes there.
I will add, the comment about how there "may have been up to 2200" in Philadelphia just means that was the number of ballots that had not been cured (part c of my list). It does not take into account (because it really can't know) how many voters still wanted to cure. I mean, if they didn't get there by the 9th, were they really going to go?
