Fact check: Are there any ongoing legal challenges to the 2025 presidential election results?

Checked on June 21, 2025

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available analyses, there are no direct ongoing legal challenges to the 2025 presidential election results specifically. However, several related legal proceedings are currently active:

  • Rockland County, New York lawsuit: An ongoing case challenges the 2024 presidential election results due to alleged voting machine failures that reportedly failed to count hundreds of votes for Kamala Harris [1] [2]. While this lawsuit raises questions about electronic voting vulnerabilities, experts believe it is unlikely to overturn the election results.
  • Federal lawsuit against Trump's election reforms: 19 states have filed a federal lawsuit challenging President Trump's executive order on election overhaul, arguing the changes would be costly and undermine public confidence in voting processes [3] [4]. A federal judge is currently considering a request for a preliminary injunction against this order.
  • Supreme Court case on mail-in ballots: The Supreme Court has agreed to hear Bost v. Illinois State Board of Elections, which challenges the counting of mail-in ballots and could impact future elections including the 2025 presidential race [5] [6].
  • Voter eligibility investigations: The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections related to voter eligibility and election integrity [7], while Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has opened investigations into 33 cases of potential noncitizen voting from the 2024 election [8].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original question lacks important context about the distinction between challenges to past elections versus current election administration. The analyses reveal that most legal activity centers around:

  • Election administration reforms rather than results challenges, with Democratic attorneys general and civil rights organizations benefiting from blocking Trump's election overhaul order as it maintains current voting procedures they favor [3] [4]
  • Voting rights advocacy groups such as those mentioned by the Brennan Center would benefit from successful challenges to voter eligibility requirements, as this preserves broader access to voting [7]
  • Republican officials like Ken Paxton benefit from investigations into noncitizen voting as it supports narratives about election integrity and justifies stricter voting requirements [8]

The analyses also show that electronic voting system vulnerabilities remain a concern across party lines, with the Rockland County case highlighting technical issues that could affect public confidence regardless of political affiliation [2].

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original question contains a temporal assumption error by asking about "2025 presidential election results" when the analyses primarily discuss the 2024 election and ongoing administrative challenges. This could mislead readers into believing there are active disputes about a 2025 presidential outcome when the legal activity actually focuses on:

  • Residual challenges from the 2024 election [1] [2]
  • Prospective election administration changes for future elections [3] [4]
  • Ongoing voter eligibility investigations from past elections [8] [9]

The question's framing could inadvertently promote confusion about the timeline of election-related litigation and suggest more controversy around recent election results than actually exists in the legal record.
