The effort to deny President <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Joe Biden\">Joe Biden<\/a> <\/strong>victory was a concerted one that began with public denials of the validity of vote counts and carried on in courtrooms across the country. <\/p>\n<p>While litigation over the election kicked into high gear after Nov. 3, 2020, both parties have already started submitting legal questions about the validity of interim elections, possibly laying the groundwork for a repeat of what happened four years ago. <\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s final installment in our <strong>Mailing it in <\/strong>series, which has explored fights over absentee voting and voter registration efforts in swing states, Senior Investigations Reporter <strong>Barnini Chakraborty <\/strong>examined some of the lawsuits unfolding that could have the biggest effects on the outcome in November. <\/p>\n<p>Georgia was at the heart of some of the most contentious 2020 fights. Trump has been indicted in Fulton County for his alleged efforts to put his thumb on the scale in the Peach State after he became the first Republican presidential candidate to lose there since <strong>George H.W. Bush <\/strong>in 1992. <\/p>\n<p>Though Fulton County District Attorney <strong>Fani Willis <\/strong>has had her investigation into the former president derailed by personal indiscretions that nearly forced her off the case, the deeply Democratic area in an otherwise ruby-red state remains a battleground for legal action. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulie Adams, a member of Georgia\u2019s Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, refused to certify two primaries this year, claiming she had been denied her legal right to review a long list of election records for fraud,\u201d Barnini wrote this morning. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdams, who has gone on the record to say she believes former President Donald Trump was the victim of a stolen election in 2020, has filed suit against the board. If a judge grants her and others in her position the power to hold up the outcome of elections, it could create a chaotic aftermath to an already tense 2024 election,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Interim skirmishes that attempt to hold up finalizing the results of minor elections are sending Democrats into a panic. Republicans are arguing they simply want to ensure elections are being conducted fairly and accurately. The people who have the authority to authorize them say they need to have access to detailed records about who voters are and whether they voted legitimately. <\/p>\n<p>But as similar fights play out in battleground states, including Pennsylvania, Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan, repeated complaints about fraud could dint public faith in the electoral process. <\/p>\n<p>As Barnini wrote, \u201cSome have worried that the refusal to certify results is just the start of a deluge of legal battles that will begin before the first ballots are even cast for the 2024 presidential election.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3067147\/republicans-democrats-lay-groundwork-election-results-fights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to catch up on the most important election lawsuits unfolding now. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pumping the brakes on the veepstakes <\/h2>\n<p>With the Republican National Convention just weeks away, an announcement about who is joining Trump at the top of the ticket is imminent.

Trump doesn\u2019t have to announce who his choice will be before the convention begins \u2014 <strong>Richard Nixon <\/strong>(1968), <strong>Gerald Ford <\/strong>(1976), and <strong>Ronald Reagan <\/strong>(1980)<strong> <\/strong>didn\u2019t announce their selections until the final day of their respective conventions. <strong>Bob Dole <\/strong>waited until one day before the 1996 convention to select <strong>Jack Kemp<\/strong> as his running mate. <\/p>\n<p>But Trump is enjoying a reprieve from negative media attention right now. Democrats are starting to turn on Biden publicly. He won\u2019t have to appear for sentencing in his hush money trial until September. And the Supreme Court\u2019s decision on Monday that presidents are broadly immune for official acts taken while in office could upend several of the indictments against him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bottom line is the Biden campaign is crashing and burning before our eyes,\u201d Republican strategist Conda<strong> <\/strong>told Naomi. \u201cNow is not the time for Republicans to distract from the dumpster fire that is the Democratic Party today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Click <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3067544\/trump-vice-presidential-announcement-maximum-impact-biden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><em>here<\/em><\/a><em>  to read more from Naomi.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New IVF MVP?<\/h2>\n<p>Republicans have been reeling from the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn <em>Roe v.
