Litigating the Vote: 2024 Gears Up to Be the MostContested Election in U.S. History

Election 2024 is the most litigated election in history, say experts and we
have just seen the beginning.
In 2020, Donald Trump’s supporters filed 62 lawsuits post-election and lost
61 of them. This year, we already have had 130 lawsuits filed leading up to
the election and promises of hundreds more following Election Day.
Big time election lawyers are involved on both sides. Gineen Bresso is
heading the GOP “election integrity” efforts along with Trump campaign
counsel David Warrington. The Democrat’s team is head by Dana Remus
and one of the nation’s top election lawyers, Marc Elias.
Both teams are wargaming various scenarios and preparing legal
pleadings, in advance, so they can be filed quickly after the election.
In 2024, both sides have amassed war chests to challenge election results.
The Republican National Committee has reportedly raised $90 million to
support its efforts and the Democrats have raised $14.5 million.
Pre-election, the Republicans have targeted overseas voting, mail-in ballots
and purging election roles as targets. Post-election, the targets will likely be the counting of ballots, certification of results by the states and the
selection of electors from each state.
If Trump loses, his team may try to stall the results passed specified
deadlines to get the House of Representatives (controlled by Republicans)
to select him President by what is deemed a “contingent election” under the
12th Amendment to the constitution.
On this edition of Next Witness…Please, retired judges Thomas Hodson
and Gayle Williams-Byers discuss the litigation options and break them
down into understandable terms.
