Republicans and Democrats are both preparing for long legal battles over the 2024 election results
Both Republicans and Democrats are preparing for a potentially lengthy battle in the courts over the results of the 2024 election
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Donald Trump, who still refuses to accept that he lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden, says he wants a presidential victory Nov. 5 to be so overwhelming that the results are “too big to rig.”
“We want a landslide," he recently told supporters in Georgia. “We can’t let anything happen.”
No matter the margins, Republicans and Democrats are preparing for a potentially lengthy battle over the results once they come in. Dozens of lawsuits that could set the stage for challenges after the votes are counted are already playing out in courts across the country. Most have been filed by Republicans and their allies. Many of the cases involve challenges to mail-in balloting, ballots from overseas voters and claims of voting by people who are not U.S citizens.
Trump, who faces federal criminal charges over his efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat, has repeatedly declined to state unequivocally that he will accept this year's results.
