Joe Biden is assembling a team of top lawyers in anticipation of court
challenges to the election process that could ultimately determine who wins the
race for the White House.
Biden's presidential campaign says the legal war room will work to ensure that
elections are properly administered and votes correctly counted. It will also
seek to combat voter suppression at the polls, identify foreign interference
and misinformation, and educate voters on the different methods available for
casting ballots.
The effort, which
the Biden campaign described as the largest election protection program in
presidential campaign history, reflects the extent of the preparation underway
for an already divisive presidential contest in November that could produce
significant, perhaps even decisive, court cases over voter access and the
legitimacy of mail ballots.
Democrats and
Republicans are locked in legal fights on election rules that could help shape
the outcome of the vote, and President Donald
Trump's campaign has its own attorneys handling cases on a variety of
issues.
Trump in recent
months has sought to preemptively cast doubt on the election, warning that the
expected surge in mail ballots because of the coronavirus pandemic will lead to
massive fraud and could open the door to foreign countries to print their own
fraudulent ballots.
