Biden Campaign Forms 'Special Litigation' Unit To Contest Election Results

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is gearing up for a massive legal war over the results of the November election.

The Biden campaign has tapped Dana Remus, its general counsel, and Bob Bauer, an Obama-era White House counsel, to lead a so-called special litigation unit of hundreds of lawyers, according to The New York Times.

The law firm Perkins Coie, which was a player in the production of a dossier of discredited claims about President Donald Trump, is a key part of the campaign machine assigned to attack rules about voting in order to serve the Biden campaign’s interests, the report said.

Eric Holder, who served as attorney general under former President Barack Obama, will connect local groups with the wider Biden campaign effort, The Times reported.

Some said Biden’s team was hardly trustworthy.

Former President Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder said coronavirus is "an opportunity" to permanently change voting. breitbart.com

Remus insisted this was all about a fair election. “We can and will hold a free and fair election this fall and be able to trust the results,” Remus told The Times.

The president has said for months that Democratic efforts to have mass mail-in voting threaten to make this election awash in fraud to a degree without parallel in past elections, when the only mail-in ballots in most states were absentee votes.

“It’s going to be fraud all over the place. … This will be, in my opinion, the most corrupt election in the history of our country. And we cannot let this happen,” Trump said in a June 23 speech.

He beat that drum again on Saturday, saying on Twitter, “The Unsolicited Mail In Ballot Scam is a major threat to our Democracy, & the Democrats know it. Almost all recent elections using this system, even though much smaller & with far fewer Ballots to count, have ended up being a disaster. Large numbers of missing Ballots & Fraud!”

Bauer claimed the president’s warnings are part of the problem.

“A lot of what Trump and his allies would have us do is amplify their disaster scenarios,” the former Obama counsel said. “We’re not going to get caught up in alarmist rhetoric they are using to scare voters.”

Bauer also said Trump is attempting to tamper with voter turnout.

“The constant return to the issue of fraud is itself a voter suppression tool,” he said.

Mandi Merritt, a spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said Democrats seek to “turn our election into an out-of-control all-mail-based election” without the necessary protections in place against fraud.

“Republicans have always supported absentee voting with safeguards in place and want to make sure every valid vote is counted and our elections are free, fair and transparent,” Merritt told The Times. “What we oppose is a rushed and forcibly implemented nationwide vote-by-mail experiment that would eliminate those safeguards, invite fraud and weaken the integrity of our elections.”

Republicans are battling Democratic efforts to add wiggle room into signature-matching requirements for absentee voting and let third parties deliver absentee votes, a practice known as “ballot harvesting.”

“There is a clear difference between what Democrats are pushing this cycle and a typical absentee ballot request process,” Merritt said.

No, Biden won’t accept the results of the 2020 election, just like Hillary Clinton demanded that Trump accept the results of the 2016 election IN ADVANCE of the actual results.

This is an interesting read.

No, YOU'RE going to be shocked on election day when you discover Trump has ordered military observers to be present at every polling place in the country to prevent fraud and to check for IDs. Foreigners found in line to vote will be summarily branded with a giant 'F' on their face and be deported on the spot. Well, if there's any justice in the world, that's what should happen.

Eric Holder
Bob Bauer
Dana Remus
Perkins Coie

Yep, they got every dirty, low-down, stinking rat to be on this team.

The trick to this is for us to have such a hugh turnout it won’t make any difference. GO VOTE IN PERSON!!

Ha! Unsure except soroznazi will schedule it when it best suits his plan imposing dictatorship on America. Maybe a few weeks as President for good appearances and then president ( ineligible) Harris.. ? Or they’ll shove her aside and install Nancy Pelousy as president instead ?

Ask him about this at the debates.

Why must he steal the election in the courts?

Pssst. Peaceful transfer of power from Democrat to Republican ended over half a century ago.

Kennedy stole the 1960 election.

They wanted Nixon impeached in his first term, long before Watergate.

They wanted Reagan removed before he was sworn in and wanted him impeached.

They sought investigations against Bush leading into 1988.

They fought the election results for 30 days in 2000.

They fought the election results for 3 days in 2004.

They fought the election results in 2016 before the election and after leading to the impeachment of President Trump, something NO democrat is mentioning 50 days out from election day.

Hillary didn’t campaign in some states in 2016, Democrats blamed Russia for the loss.

Biden isn’t campaigning at all or even speaking clearly, Democrats gearing up to blame the Post Office. https://t.co/Inuv4ja0gY— Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) September 15, 2020
