“It’s really just making sure we have systems in place—which we do—to monitor what Republicans are doing everywhere”
A Trump landslide would make all of the moot, so that’s what people on the right should hope happens.Four years ago, Joe Biden assembled hundreds of lawyers to work with his presidential campaign, which took an unusual detour through the courts when rival Donald Trump and his allies brought dozens of lawsuits making unsupported claims of election fraud.
Bracing for a flurry of postelection lawsuits to cap what has already been a fiercely litigated presidential contest, Kamala Harris’s campaign has expanded the Democratic legal team considerably, spending the better part of a year trying to anticipate any legal curveball that could arise in the crucial days before—and after—voters go to the polls.
“It’s really just making sure we have systems in place—which we do—to monitor what Republicans are doing everywhere,” said Dana Remus, a former Biden White House counsel who is leading the Harris legal operation. “As soon as they file a case, as soon as they start saying election results can’t be trusted, we are prepared to respond.”
Remus, a partner at Covington & Burling, is a Yale Law graduate with a diverse résumé, including a clerkship to conservative Justice Samuel Alito. Her inner circle includes Bob Bauer, a personal lawyer to Biden and White House counsel to former President Barack Obama who also teaches law at New York University. They have assigned priority to better coordination with local lawyers who are steeped in the minutiae of state election laws and how to best navigate their hometown courts.
More than 400 lawyers have been writing thousands of pages of draft legal pleadings and memos that could be deployed quickly in fast-moving litigation. A larger network of about 10,000 lawyers is on tap to be on the ground and supporting voter protection at polling places across the U.S.
