And so, you know, Mark Elias, I'm sure, already has what I call a Mad Libs lawsuit ready to go.
Allison GillHOST
It's already written.
Allison GillHOST
You just got to fill in the blanks with the dates and the names.
Andy McCabeHOST
So you got to imagine any person who wins a seat in this election, any Democrat who wins a seat is not going to sit around, sit on their hands for a couple of weeks thinking about filing a lawsuit.
Andy McCabeHOST
Those things are going to be ready to go if they're not able to be sworn in on January 3rd, I think.

Cole WistHOST
I guess really what I'm worried about, Leslie, is what's going to happen in January? And I'm not sure if you saw Mark Elias's comments about this, but he's looking forward to what happens in January if the Democrats retake Congress.
Cole WistHOST
And there's a theory that Mike Johnson could replace the House clerk with a loyalist.
Cole WistHOST
and then prevent the house clerk from entering on the role of the house of representatives, the winners of the election and effectively stop people from being sworn into office and try to prevent, um, you know, I think we all believe that the Democrats will, will likely retake the house of representatives or take the majority prevent that from, from, uh, happening.
Cory BookerGUEST
We have incredible election lawyers out there.
Cory BookerGUEST
A man named Mark Elias, who you may have interviewed in the past, who are bringing case after case and winning overwhelmingly the majority of the cases that they're bringing to protect our voting rights.
