Dems To Fund Defenses In GOP’s Post-Election Lawsuits

NBC News reports:

A Democratic group is launching a legal fund to help secretaries of state in key states defend against an anticipated post-election deluge of lawsuits.

In plans shared first with NBC News, the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State plans to spend at $5 million to support top election officials in Maine, Michigan, North Carolina and Nevada. Officials with the group said they may expand their reach to other states as needed and could spend more if fundraising is strong.

More than 50 lawsuits were filed across the country seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In the run-up to this November’s election, Trump’s Republican allies have already filed a series of lawsuits targeting election administrators and various rules and procedures in swing states.
