Judges have tossed legal battles Thursday that the president’s campaign had launched Wednesday as the presidential election stands in limbo with votes still being tabulated in a number of battleground states.

They called on the court to separate late-arriving ballots, but a judge dismissed the lawsuit Thursday.
