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.

[Biden Campaign Forms ‘Special Litigation’ Unit To Contest Election Results]

That’s because they KNOW they are going to LOSE because Joe Biden is an AWFUL candidate.

Even worse than Hillary.

I tell you again, Joe Biden was HATED by 90%-95% of the folks at Yahoo which is pretty much nothing more than Huffington Post for most of them.

They are planning on this and not even trying to hide it.

Thus far, we applied for absentee ballots in February. My wife got an e-mail back in June purportedly with a link to the absentee ballot after she signed in by her registration info, but there is no ballot provided. I never even got this e-mail. 2018, I got my absentee ballot two weeks after election day! I think the Savannah, Georgia Dem machine is planning on committing dullskuggery, but I don’t know whether to appeal to the US Consulate, Embassy, or some overseas citizen support group in Israel. Anyone have info?

According to media reports, the Biden Campaign has much more money than the Trump Campaign.

Which means the Biden campaign isn’t going to accept the results of the election.

His accepting the results is irrelevant. If President Trump reaches 270 electors, or a proportional amount should states fail to send electors by the deadline, by law he is declared the winner.

And Biden can go back to sucking eggs or whatever the hell he does in the basement.

The SHY Trump voter is a very REAL thing!

I have a liberal friend who had a MAJOR MELTDOWN recently over me admitting to her that I intend to vote Orange Man.

There are many like me who don’t want to tell our few “somewhat civilized” liberal friends. We damned sure don’t want to admit it to the crazy asses who lose their minds and threaten us with bodily harm over our support of Trump! (I had a former friend who totally lost her sh!t and disowned me when I told her I was not voting for Obama, even though she KNEW I was a conservative R).

A pollster has not yet called me. If one does, I’m sure I will tell that person to suck eggs.

I live in Ga. Spouse and I took a Sunday drive. TRUMP signs EVERWHERE! Not one Biden sign. Not one. Although we did NOT drive through the hood.

This mess will still be in the courts come the new year. Until Trump is sworn in there will be war over the election. Even after the 20th of January 2021, this war will still be fought in the courts. The left will NEVER let go of it. They have spent FOUR YEARSa fighting it now. Until they get the White House and entire Congress back, this will continue.

Well boys (sorry females, it’s just a phase) what’s to stop individual voters suing each of the Lib Lawyers and the DNC for violating Constitutional Rights of voters? Let the Libs deal with millions of lawsuits filed in each Federal Court around the US! Some lawyer should come up with the basic template voters could use to mass file.
