The 2024 election cycle has seen an unprecedented surge in pre-election litigation, with a significant focus on the battleground state of Pennsylvania. Both the GOP and Democrats, along with voting groups, have been actively involved in legal battles leading up to Election Day.
One notable aspect of this election cycle is the GOP's aggressive use of the courts to support Donald Trump's strategy of preemptively casting doubt on the election results. This approach has led to a flurry of lawsuits being filed by both parties, setting the stage for potential post-election legal challenges.
Even issues that have seemingly been resolved by state or federal courts could resurface as 'zombie lawsuits' after the election. These lawsuits, if deemed beneficial by either party, could be used to sway the outcome in what is currently a closely contested race.
Both campaigns have taken proactive measures by assembling teams of lawyers in battleground states and beyond. This strategic move indicates a readiness to address any legal challenges that may arise in the aftermath of the election.
The high level of pre-election litigation in Pennsylvania and other key states underscores the intense competition and stakes involved in the 2024 election. As the campaigns gear up for Election Day, the legal battles being fought in courtrooms across the country are shaping the narrative of this closely watched election cycle.
