Second clear misrepresentation is around minute 25, when Giuliani talks about "we have 100 affidavits - that show 'just that' (tripple counting votes that came in at 4 am in the night, when all republican vote checkers but two had gone) - in four other states -- or that they were forced to not check ballots integrity, or that were forced to not ceck signatures, or that were instructed to count votes, without the inner envelope - or....
This is a manipulation method called 'grouping'. You dont have 100 affidavits that report on the most heinous of crimes, the one including the "Dominion" voting machine company (writing a cheating algorithm). So you group them with other affidavits you've got, and make them sound like they all support the same ("we've got 100 affidavits supporting this -- and other alleged schemes (at the end of the third nested sentence following the original statement)".

edit:
Short summery about half into the press conference.
All instances, where Giuliani alleges schemes, where voting inspectors were prevented from checking mail in ballots at the time of separating them from the outer envelopes, or told that they would not have to be present at that time, all cases where voting inspectors were instructed to not check signatures, or backdate, or not invalidate invalid votes -- are reasons for a repeat election in that precinct.
If you can make that case - good. But none of that is necessarily structural. As with all instances of 'stupid people' in the process.
And please, let me emphasize on 'stupid people', because if you are a vote inspector, and you are instructed to not follow the voting process - this means, that you have no idea of the voting process, and could potentially be hoodwinked into doing something fraudulent by an authority figure as unimportant as your supervisor.
If thats the case - close down all democracies. Now. Or just the one in the US specifically, because people there are premo stupid. And this INCLUDES getting talked out of being present at the time, when outer mail in envelopes are signature checked and opened.
All cases where voter participation has reached 150-200+% of registered voters - are immediately suspect and have to be suspect to an investigation as well.

That said
- the claim that 'voting inspectors were not allowed in certain states' is manipulative. What is meant is independent (trigger word - foreign) voting inspectors from the UN. Why the US does that - I have no clue, but that didnt start with Trump. That also doesnt mean, that _no_ vote inspectors were allowed to look at procedures. A democratic vote without inspectors from both sides - doesnt work.
- all structural voting fraud claims (where one scheme would have been used to turn the election in several places at once) - are completely stupid - the way they are explained by Rudy (and Sidney Powell) they follow no inherent process logic, and seem to be cobbled together with a bunch of different claims, not making any sense if you add them up. This means, that argument - likely - is constructed.
Also - if you really litigate every precinct after every election in every county (not just the 'close' ones, but also ones which largely favored dems over reps in counties of every state you want the vote to flip in), and you only do this for 'possible statistical anomalies' favoring one party, but not the other one - you end up with a biased outcome as well. And months of time spent on legal litigation after every election. Doing this basically disables democracy - and lets a winner be decided by heads of states, while the cases are stranded in the courts.
Its very important - for democracy to work - that people counting the votes, and inspecting the count - KNOW that they cant forge them, or 'not only follow some rules', or be molded in their action to the point they become illegal - by 'their supervisors'.
If that happens in any democracy - democracy is over, and americans have to be pronounced 'too stupid, to be allowed to have it'.
If thats the problem (most probable accusations Giuliani made), good luck, and good night.

edit:
I mean, it really happens in two ways. There’s an algorithm that runs that automatically flips all the votes, and then each operator has the ability to go in override settings. They can ignore a signature, they could ignore the top line of the ballot. They can go down ballot and select who they want to change the results for. The gentleman who founded Smartmatic, there’s video of him on the internet, explaining that, yes, in at least one occasion, he admits, they changed a million votes with no problem. Many of the jurisdictions that have had this problem might not have known of the issues, but many did. I think a full-scale criminal investigation needs to be undertaken immediately by the Department of Justice and by every state’s equivalent, Attorney General’s Office or State Investigatory Unit, because there’s evidence of different benefits being provided to the people who spent 100 million dollars of taxpayer money at the last minute for their state to get the Dominion voting systems put in, in time for this election in different ways.
Isnt it wonderful - when a 60 year old women discovers how computers work for the first time in front of national TV cameras?
(Because this is an inherent problem with all voting software/computers. One that cant be designed away.)
They found that out, by finding and reading the manual of those machines online on google - btw. Now. Just so you know.
While these issues have been discussed in the senate as early as 2006. Then nobody did anything about it, because fixing it cost money. And acknowledging, that this is an inherent problem with voting machines, and that paper was better (because the process is transparent and not subject to be only understood by the high priest that wrote the 'hardware security module' - i.e. the guy/gal that doesnt need a 'drag and drop interface'.)
So what do you say? Lets end democracy, because of them - why dont we? I mean - as long as there is a possibility still not debunked, that could have impacted outcome...
