Biden Campaign Forms 'Special Litigation' Unit To Contest Election Results
thefederalistpapers.org ^ | September 14, 2020 | Jack Davis

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.

He already knows he will lose. This is something to stir up even more chaos than we already have.

Just keep pushing. When we finally get pissed you are going to know it.

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

Ever.

I expect him to set up a second White House.

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.

The left will also have a rioting temper tantrum.

I hope Trump goes all Pinochet on them.

- POTUS is tasked with protecting our elections from fraud.
- POTUS says that certain changes will invite fraud.
- Those that advocate that change are not tasked with protecting our elections and deny that fraud will happen.
- NONE of those people hold an elected office but aspire to such.

[Notice how that critique was done while disregarding any political affiliations.]

We knew they wouldn’t especially after Hillary came out and told Biden not to concede.

What is our party doing? Have they set up a legal team to contest and fight or will they just fold?

And they say Republicans are the party for the rich people.

Dems have so many rich people donating to their candidates. Insane.

Here it comes!! The Dems are ruthless. Our time is quickly running out. This is war and I don’t see the GOP being prepared. I think the Dems WILL steal it.

The Rats are panicking, sh*tting themselves, and are desperate and hysterical. They see that Plugs is failing BADLY, and there is nothing the Rats can do at this point, they’re stuck with a LOSER ticket.

Kamala had a little slip yesterday when she spoke of a "Harris administration". I wonder if plans are in place to dump Slow Joe.

But will he come out of his basement hiding place if his lawyers get him “elected?
````
Yes, then after a brief speech on being inaugurated, he will quickly run the the White Hut basement, and Harris will assume regular Presidential duties

I am in San Jose, CA. I have seen more Trump flags,signs and hats then Biden/biden haris. I have seen maybe 3 signs for Biden. I see Trump overpass rally’s every so often and flags being flown in tandem with American flags on trucks. Normally none of our stuff would be seen, for fear of vandalism.

Trump will have 340+ EVs and make even stealing the election not probable. If it were 1 or even 2 states he needed to flip I could see it. But we’d have the military and other involved in this coup attempt if let’s say Biden needed and got Wisconsin, PA, MI, Florida and NC to flip days or weeks later due to “found ballots in the mailroom”. Most of America even some Biden voters would not accept it. The worst-case scenario as Glen Beck is groaning about. Biden tries to steal the election, fails and the left erupts with the fury x10 after Geroge Floyd.

Class-Election Fraudulent Ballot? Not a lawyer and unsure of that term.

What I mean is fighting a Fire with an ........ Atomic Bomb. This Crap (technical term) needs to end now! Trump is just the one to drop the bomb on the Libs.

Sue the Law Firms, the funders, the clients company / organization plus each of those personally. Let them face millions of lawsuits in every Federal Court in the country. See how the Deep State likes to spend the next ten years dealing with all these cases.

The multiple felon who is still above the law Hillary Clinton, said a few weeks ago that Biden should not concede no matter what. They very well may steal it and get away with it. Why? Because Republicans do nothing and democrats know this which is what they are betting on.
