A Trump-aligned group that has filed lawsuits in several swing states challenging voter registration lists is already planning to sue over this year's election results, one of the group's founders told USA TODAY. "We feel compelled to file in defense of this beautiful country," said Marly Hornik, who co-founded United Sovereign Americans in 2023. "We already have signs and numbers coming in of errors inside of the process."

The organization, which describes itself as nonpartisan, is regularly represented by Bruce Castor, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Lawsuits from both the group and Republican organizations suggest widespread voter fraud could be happening – without providing proof that it is.

The claims feed into the false narrative from former President Donald Trump that he didn't lose the 2020 election, which critics fear is a precursor to claiming similar election theft if he loses again. Numerous counts and audits showed President Joe Biden won the last presidential election. Nearly all of more than 60 lawsuits from Trump allies in the wake of that election failed.

"The people seeking to disrupt the election want to plant the fictitious narrative that there's reason to freak out about the process. There isn't," Justin Levitt, a Loyola Marymount law professor who researches election issues, told USA TODAY. Hornik said the group would be seeking to conduct external audits of the 2024 election. It would need to file the suits before results are certified, but likely only after either a state has called results or the media has announced results, she said. The group could file sooner, but is debating internally whether a court would say a pre-result lawsuit is premature.

1. Of course they are...

They KNOW they are losing.

2. They want the SC to decide, not the voters if, and when he loses

3. And, you can bet the Democrats have legal response teams ready to respond.

4. Some knowledgeable Journalists

have already disclosed they fear the conspiracy by many red states to create a situation that hands the final say to the House of Representatives and the USSC?

Beware the 12th Amendment to the constitution.

5. Wow, it almost seems like the evidence -- or not -- of any fraud isn't of actual concern to them.
