Continuing my occasional look at fundraising earmarked for election litigation, the first 15 months of this election cycle show more than $70 million fundraised earmarked for election litigation. That’s an increase from four years ago when it was nearly $45 million at a comparable stage of the presidential election cycle. But it’s down from the whopping $101 million raised in an off-presidential election cycle, 2021-22. The biggest reversal of fortune is the Democratic National Committee, which had $35 million at this stage two years ago but $9.7 million now. The Senate and House arms saw significant growth this cycle over last.
Here are the totals so far.
