Former Trump lawyer punches major hole in plan to contest the 2024 election

In a deep dive into plans by pro-Donald Trump lawyers to flood the courts with lawsuits and challenges should their man lose to Vice President Kamala Harris in November, one former White House and Trump lawyer claimed there is a major flaw they will have to deal with.

As the New York Times is reporting, conservative lawyers have already filed a wave of lawsuits designed to exclude voters under the guise of potential election fraud, primarily focusing their efforts of key battleground states that will likely decide who is victorious.

According to the report, there is very little evidence that there has been wide-scale voter fraud. Nonetheless, conservative lawyers have unleashed an "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, according to Democracy Docket, a Democratically aligned group that tracks election cases."

As the report notes, the roadmap for contesting a potential GOP loss will hinge on proving fraud which is where pro-Trump forces may run into the same problems they encountered when challenging the 2020 election results that led to a series of court defeats.

As former Trump attorney Ty Cobb sees it, he expects the same in 2024 despite all the preparation.

“The one thing they need in court is evidence,” Cobb explained. “They didn’t have any last time, and they’re unlikely to have any this time.”

The Times report adds, "Election experts, including some Republicans, say a vast majority of the cases are destined to fail, either because they were filed too late or because they are based on unfounded, or outright false, claims."
