Election Lawsuits Are Once Again Flooding the Courts--But They Must Be Grounded in Facts, Not Theories
With Election Day looming, nearly 100 lawsuits in seven swing states have already been filed this year attempting to shape the rules on how votes are cast, counted or challenged, according to NBC News. One new lawsuit per day has been filed in October alone, according to Bloomberg. Many of these lawsuits aim to tighten ballot rules by purging voter lists and imposing stricter requirements on mail voting, even though there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
As past presidents of state, local and national bar associations, this flurry of litigation compels us to remind the profession and the public: The courtroom is not a theater for unsubstantiated claims. When lawyers file a lawsuit, we are duty-bound to ensure it is based on solid facts, backed by law and free from any intent to harass or waste the court's time. A baseless lawsuit not only squanders judicial resources but also undermines the public's trust in our democracy and our profession.
We've been here before. Following the 2020 election, some 628 legal cases were filed alleging fraud or impropriety, and they were overwhelmingly unsuccessful. Many were voluntarily dismissed. Others were dismissed due to lack of standing or evidence. Five lawyers connected to these cases were disbarred or had their licenses suspended, with others reprimanded. One such lawyer candidly admitted, "We've got lots of theories; we just don't have the evidence."
These lawyers not only lost their licenses and tarnished their reputations; they also betrayed their communities and the American public. Their baseless cases stirred confusion and anger locally and across the nation, inciting threats against election officials, workers, judges and their staff. These actions likely contributed to the January 6 assault on the Capitol and have further eroded public trust in our justice system and our constitutional democracy.
At a time when public trust in government, the media and the judiciary is already at historic lows, it is the sacred responsibility of the legal profession to safeguard the rule of law. The architects of our Constitution established an independent judiciary as a pillar of democracy, ensuring a fair system of justice that upholds our rights.
Access to the courts is fundamental, open to all Americans--not just officials or lawyers. But with this access comes responsibility. Under the Rules of Professional Conduct, lawyers have a duty to further public understanding and confidence in the legal system. A healthy democracy depends on such trust, and our profession's commitment to this duty is not negotiable.
As such, lawsuits must be grounded in fact, supported by law and free from improper motives. This ethical foundation prevents the courts from being misused to sow confusion, pursue a political agenda or harass opponents. Filing election-related lawsuits without a solid factual and legal foundation endangers the very institutions lawyers are oathbound to defend. In a functioning democracy, lawsuits are not weapons to spread distrust--they are tools for justice.
These are not mere procedural details: They are ethical guardrails that help maintain the judiciary as an institution the public can rely on. Lawyers who disregard these standards risk not only their careers but also the credibility of the entire legal system, weakening the democracy we are sworn to protect.
As legal professionals, we must hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards to avoid a repeat of these events. With this election, we call on our colleagues to remember our duties as lawyers and as guardians of the rule of law. When it is our conduct that improperly causes Americans to lose confidence in the rule of law and in our democracy, we have done a disservice not only to our profession, but also to our nation.
The right to file a lawsuit is a vital part of American democracy, but with it comes the obligation to pursue only those claims that meet the ethical standards of our profession and the rules to which a lawyer commits each time they sign a pleading. As leaders of the legal profession, we stand united in calling for a commitment to truth, integrity and the rule of law.
And to our fellow citizens, we say this: Trust in the resilience of our democracy but remain vigilant. A healthy democracy depends on public confidence in the rule of law. At this critical juncture, our democracy depends on the commitment of everyone--citizens, officials and the legal community alike--to uphold the values that protect our system of justice.
Our actions today will shape not just the strength but the very existence of our democracy tomorrow.
