Last week, an individual in Georgia sued in federal court to stop certification of the vote in GA. (Lin Wood v. Raffensperger) (There are so many of these damn lawsuits, I better start calling them by their names.) The suit alleged irregularities in the counting of ballots. The case was dismissed today, but I haven't seen the order yet. That leaves exactly zero currently active cases challenging the results in GA.
I saw a headline saying Georgia's hand recount has confirmed that Biden won the state, although the margin is smaller. Trump is entitled to a machine recount after certification.
A total of five cases were filed in PA that consist of appeals from the final counts of county Boards of Elections. Three were filed by a candidate for state Senate, Nicole Ziccarelli and two by the Trump campaign. These are all filed in state court and appear to be part of the regular election process. Two of Ziccarelli's appeals were denied. The state GOP has moved to intervene in one and have the decision reviewed by the PA Supreme Court. One of Trump's appeals (Bucks Count) was just denied.

There are still a number of federal cases pending as well.
A third candidate in Nevada has filed for a do over in Commission C (the Commission that the County Board recommended a revote in) because of Clark County's use of a machine to verify signatures. (Becker v. Cannizzaro).
And a final PA update. The intermediate appellate court reversed the trial court’s ruling in Ziccarelli’s appeal of the count in Allegheny County. So, the 2349 ballots without a date on the envelope will not be counted. Because some of the Bucks County votes had missing or partial dates, that likely means Trump will get about 1000 votes thrown out in that suit. I suspect the Allegheny County decision can be appealed to the State Supreme Court. The quantities we’re talking about won’t change the result of the Presidential race. But they might make Zaccarelli a winner (not sure how close that one is.)
Opinion:

AZ: The state trial court dismissed the Republican party’s attempt to prevent Maricopa County from verifying its totals. The the court also set a deadline for the defendants to file a motion for fees. Not sure if these are awardable by statute or this is a hint from the judge.
