Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Wednesday night that his campaign has gathered a group of 600 lawyers and more than 10,000 volunteers to fight against possible “chicanery†in the November election, as the candidate warns that President Donald Trump could interfere with the election to ensure his victory.
KEY FACTS
Biden said at a fundraiser Wednesday night that his campaign has “put together 600 lawyers†and a team of volunteers, who will “[go] into every single state to try to figure out whether chicanery is likely to take place.â€
The presidential candidate said his campaign will “fight any effort to exploit the pandemic for political purposes, support the countless state and local officials working like hell to make voting safe and accessible for citizens, especially the most vulnerable, or call out local rules that don’t adequately ensure access to vote.â€
Biden said more than 10,000 volunteers had already signed up to aid in the effort, and the campaign is “in the process of getting into the states in question to train them to be in a polling place.â€
Biden has repeatedly stressed that he’s concerned Trump will interfere with the election to ensure his victory or will simply refuse to accept the election results, saying on The Daily Show in June that his “single greatest concern†is that “this president is going to try to steal this election.â€
