American Bar Association creates rapid response teams ahead of Election Day [View all]
The American Bar Association is setting up rapid-response teams of legal experts ahead of the presidential election. It's part of a broad effort to defend democratic institutions.
The American Bar Association met last week in Chicago, and some of its members want lawyers to be ready for this fall's election. One of them is Jeh Johnson, a former Secretary of Homeland Security under President Obama. The other is J. Michael Luttig, a former appeals court judge appointed by a Republican president. They are both part of a bipartisan task force. Judge Luttig warns that some in the Republican Party hope to overturn the election results as they tried after 2020.
