A Democratic group is launching a legal fund to help secretaries of state in key states defend against an anticipated post-election deluge of lawsuits. In plans shared first with NBC News, the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State plans to spend at $5 million to support top election officials in Maine, Michigan, North Carolina and Nevada. Officials with the group said they may expand their reach to other states as needed and could spend more if fundraising is strong.
We know that there’s going to be a lot of challenges to election certification issues, and we know that those are expensive endeavors,” he said. The initial four states were chosen in part because the group believes state laws will allow it to effectively send money to boost the secretaries of state. More than 50 lawsuits were filed across the country seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
