WASHINGTON (AP) — Election Day is 12 days away. But in courtrooms across the country, efforts to sow doubt over the outcome have already begun.
More than 100 lawsuits have been filed this year around the upcoming midterm elections. The suits, largely by Republicans, target rules over mail-in voting, early voting, voter access, voting machines, voting registration, the counting of mismarked absentee ballots and access for partisan poll watchers.
It’s the most litigation ever before an election and it’s likely a preview of a potentially contentious post-election landscape. The strategy was born in part of the failure of allies of former President Donald Trump to successfully challenge and overturn the free and fair results of the 2020 presidential election.
But while the 2020 election effort was an ad hoc response fronted by a collection of increasingly ill-prepared lawyers that included Rudy Giuliani, today’s effort is a more formalized, well-funded and well-organized campaign run by the Republican National Committee and other legal allies with strong bona fides. Party officials say they are actively preparing for recounts, contested elections and more litigation. And there are thousands of volunteers in place primed to challenge ballots and hunt down evidence of malfeasance.
Democrats, too, have similar efforts underway. But their legal effort ahead of the election focuses on making voting easier and helping those denied a chance to vote, through legal hotlines and volunteers. A team led by attorney Marc Elias and his firm is litigating roughly 40 cases in 19 states, some in which they have intervened in Republican-led lawsuits.

I smell the Feral Court “judges” lining up to pull the RATS’ ‘nads out of the fire next month.
No bias at all in this story.
“...overturn the free and fair results of the 2020 presidential election.”
The fact that election workers covered windows while the count was proceeding, water leaks that cleared buildings of observers, and that the election hinged on the counts in five democrat-controlled counties are just the fervid imagination of people who can’t accept the proven fact that the team of Brandon/Harris ‘won’ the most votes of anyone in American history.
The dems know they are being rejected, and that their attempts to steal the election aren’t enough, and that they have to use every means possible to invalidate the results.
These are the people who threw people into solitary for protesting the results of an election.
This is the definition of a religious creed. It is to be repeated dutifully in its entirety and marks the distinction between the believer and the heretic.
To day nothing of burning US Mail trucks carrying completed ballots in Ga.
Not even an attempt at objectivity.
It’s pretty clear AP readers don’t care, and are happy with their belief-affirming echo chamber.
Vote for Fetterman and things will be just peachy.
Seems like quo warranto territory to me, as sending ballots to a non-existant street, and accepting their votes, pretty much defines illegally cast ballots. And an UNLAWFUL election.
Is it still to early for Fox News to call the Arizona race yet?
The Dems invented lawfare and litigation of elections and election processes.
You forgot the sarcasm symbol
