Attorneys for Arizona’s most prominent election deniers have been dealt tens of thousands of dollars in sanctions – monetary punishments – for flouting facts. Michigan lawyers got hit with some for filing a baseless lawsuit. Colorado attorneys relied on inflammatory language instead of investigating, resulting in sanctions.
In courtrooms across the country, lawyers who have brought cases alleging election fraud since the 2020 election without evidence or based on lies have received financial sanctions, one way the courts and democracy-defending attorneys hope to clamp down on frivolous lawsuits from those who won’t accept election losses.
