Listen to Support it, WNYC Studios. It's the Brian Laird

The Ryan Larrow Show on WNYC. Good Friday morning everyone. Here's a promise. No matter who wins

the election, no matter how weird things get during the vote counting and

possible court challenge period that lies ahead in the next few weeks maybe months

We will be here not just to bring you the latest news but to help keep you sane

We promise we'll be here as a hub of information and also as a hub

of commiseration if that's what you need, planning for the future, and as always a place of preservation of our democracy. So now

we'll start to prepare you and prepare myself for what may lie just ahead. We

may remember the post-election period in 2020 most for the January 6th

insurrection, but what came first was more than 60 lawsuits filed by the Trump team, trying to nullify the real election result in

court. So we have a very relevant guest who was already in the thick of election

season legal battles but who has agreed to give us some time today

for an interview.

It's Mark Elias, chair of the Elias Law Group,

which specializes in voting rights and election campaign cases.

He's also the founder of Democracy Docket, which calls itself the leading progressive

platform for information, analysis, and opinion about voting rights, elections and democracy.

Full disclosure, he is working with the Harris campaign.

Some of you may have heard him on the station on the New Yorker radio hour

with David Remnick in September, a lot has happened since.

Mark, thanks very much for some time.

Welcome to WNYC.
