Litigating the Vote: 2024 Gears Up to Be the Most Contested 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

12 th 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.
