After the politicians stop fighting for votes on Election Day, it will be the lawyers’ turn.
Election attorneys at Washington’s most politically connected firms are now mobilizing for the possibility of contested elections in the presidential and congressional races, adding to the networks of thousands of attorneys on the ground in states across the country. Dozens of Washington lawyers will be out in key states for ground-level “voter protection operations,” while others will stay in D.C. to coordinate efforts with their state-based counterparts or act as legal resources for issues including voter eligibility and broken voting machines.
