Election officials expect more lawsuits as a growing number of legal scholars express support for this legal strategy.
“The 14th amendment disqualifies any person from holding any government office — federal or state — if they engaged in an insurrection or rebellion against the United States or a state or assisted others who engaged in such conduct,” Gershman said. “Any person holding an official office, or who seeks such office, is disqualified.”
Legal challenges have also been filed in New Hampshire and Wisconsin, among other states, and election officials anticipate the possibility of more suits as a growing number of liberal and conservative legal scholars express support for this legal strategy. “There is no legal basis for these claims to hold up in any legitimate court of law,” the letter states. “The opinions of those perpetuating this fraud against the will of the people are nothing more than a blatant attempt to affront democracy and disenfranchise all voters and the former President.”
