If Trump is declared the winner of the election, Elias is prepared to take aggressive legal steps to challenge the results. According to Sperry, Elias has assembled a team of more than 75 lawyers, ready to file lawsuits in key battleground states to push for recounts and other legal challenges. Trump, for his part, has not backed down from the legal fight, openly threatening to have Elias prosecuted for election interference. As ABC News moderator David Muir reminded the audience during a recent debate, Trump warned that Elias could face legal consequences if he attempts to overturn the election results.
This clash between Trump and Elias highlights the growing role of what many call “lawfare” in U.S. elections, where both political parties increasingly rely on legal battles to gain a competitive edge. Sperry’s report also revealed that the Trump campaign has filed or joined 123 lawsuits related to the 2024 election, with a focus on alleged voter fraud. These lawsuits span 26 states, with a significant concentration in battleground states where the election outcome could be decided.
Trump’s legal team is not taking any chances. They have enlisted thousands of lawyers to be on standby, prepared for what they expect will be an “onslaught of litigation” from the Harris campaign, according to a Republican National Committee memo. These lawyers are prepared to challenge any unfavorable election results, filing lawsuits and demanding recounts if necessary.
The Democratic Party, however, has long been at the forefront of legal strategies to influence elections, and Elias has been central to that effort. As Sperry noted, Elias has been instrumental in shaping the Democratic legal strategy, with a sign behind his desk that reads: “BEWARE OF ATTACK DEMOCRAT.” His influence in legal circles is so prominent that a New Yorker profile in 2022 dubbed him “The First Defense Against Trump’s Assault on Democracy.”
While many on the left see Elias as a hero, conservatives view him in a starkly different light. Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told Sperry, “Mr. Elias is part of a massive and well-funded partisan leftist operation notorious for using lawfare to undermine election integrity. Making it easier to steal elections is the antithesis of ‘democracy.’”
Republicans have been actively preparing for the legal battles ahead. In an interview with Newsmax TV host Eric Bolling, Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, explained how the Republican National Committee (RNC) is ramping up efforts to monitor key polling centers across the country. These efforts began with early voting in several states and will continue through the November election.

Lara Trump, while speaking with Bolling, referred to the 2020 election, stating, “We all know 2020 wasn’t on the up and up.” While she did not provide specific examples, reports during the 2020 election indicated irregularities at several polling locations, including a Detroit facility where workers blocked windows, preventing observers from watching the vote count.
Lara Trump also emphasized that the RNC has been preparing to handle any legal challenges, ensuring they are as ready as the Democratic National Committee (DNC). She pointed to a recent legal victory in Pennsylvania as proof of their preparedness and added that the RNC has been involved in similar legal actions across the country.
As the 2024 election approaches, the stage is set for not just a battle at the ballot box but also a fierce legal showdown. Both the Trump and Harris campaigns are preparing for a potential fight that could stretch far beyond Election Day, with each side gearing up for the courtroom battles that may ultimately decide the outcome of the race.
Elias was, is, and will always be a piece of work that is usually dishonest and destructive and notmal Minnesotans are tired of him. Give him money and he’ll sue. Maybe he needs to self fund AND BE LIABLE; that’ll slow him down.Imagine suing those who want honest elections. And threatens to personally bankrupt THEM if they try to keep them honest. This is absolutely election interference using intimidation and threats to destroy them and their families. Like when the Dems went after Gen Flynn, successfully bankrupting him and threatening his children, too. They are terrible people in so many instances.
