President Donald Trump's team has assembled recount teams in key battleground states and plans to present evidence that Democrats were using dead people to steal electoral college votes from the president, reports Axios.
The president also plans to hold campaign-style rallies to boost support as his lawyers fight potential recounts in key battleground states.
Trump has refused to concede the race to Joe Biden despite several networks calling it for the Democrat challenger. Newsmax has yet to call the race, citing close races in Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona.
Biden's lead over Trump has narrowed to 16,952 as of Sunday afternoon, according to voter data.
Trump has key players in place to battle the results in court, including Doug Collins in Georgia, Kory Langhofer in Arizona, and Porter Wright's Ron Hicks in Pennsylvania.
"We want to make sure we have an adequate supply of manpower on the ground for man-to-man combat," one adviser told the news outlet.
Additionally, Trump's communications team will send out "regular press briefings, releases on legal action, and obviously things like talking points and booking people strategically on television," one adviser said.
Raising money for Trump's defense is also key, according to Axios.
"We all have the same goal in mind, which is using the legal process over the next many days and weeks ahead to make sure that the president is re-elected," one adviser said.
