More than in previous election cycles, national Democratic groups are making litigation over election and voting laws a key part of their 2020 strategy.
A handful of Democratic groups are currently litigating about a dozen cases over what they see as unfair election laws and maps across the country.
“This is a dramatic uptick in the amount of voting rights litigation relative to past cycles,” said Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias, the chairman of Perkins Coie’s political law group and the party’s warrior in this fight.
