Democrats launch new PAC to counter Republican legal election challenges

WASHINGTON — A group of Democratic strategists are launching a new super PAC focused on supporting the party’s legal efforts around election protection and potential battles that could come after Election Day.

The group is anticipating that former President Donald Trump and his allies will repeat their large-scale attempt to undermine confidence in the election before Nov. 5 and then work to overturn election outcomes by challenging ballots and results in court in the days and weeks after voting.

The new group, which can raise and spend unlimited sums of money, is called Democracy Defenders and will be chaired by Jim Messina, who served as campaign manager for President Barack Obama’s successful 2012 reelection campaign.

Norm Eisen, a long-time Democratic attorney who served as co-counsel for the House Judiciary Committee during Trump's first impeachment, will serve as outside counsel.

Challengers should identify themselves and MUST be members of the voting precinct. They should be forewarned not to harass based on any discriminatory bias.
