"SNIP..............

“Republicans have unleashed a flurry of lawsuits challenging voting rules and practices ahead of the November elections, setting the stage for what could be a far larger and more contentious legal battle over the White House after Election Day,” the New York Times reports.

“The onslaught of litigation, much of it landing in recent weeks, includes nearly 90 lawsuits filed across the country by Republican groups this year. The legal push is already more than three times the number of lawsuits filed before Election Day in 2020.”

“Voting rights experts say the legal campaign appears to be an effort to prepare to contest the results of the presidential election after Election Day should former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, lose and refuse to accept his defeat as he did four years ago.”

.............SNIP"

Maybe the plan is to litigate an election Kamala Harris wins well into January where Republicans insist it has to go to the current GOP dominated Congress to vote on, resulting in the question being put to the Supreme Court. And we know how that will turn out.

The Right thinks long-term. They're patient, organized, and well-funded.

Time to gird the loins.

They should ask Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Jenna Ellis about what happens to the lawyers who take up this work.

(Hint; it doesn’t end well for them)
