Democrats prep teams of lawyers for 'Election Week'

House Democrats, confident of gaining ground in Tuesday's elections, are also girding for a protracted legal battle over the results of contested races.
President Trump and his Republican allies have voiced heavy doubts about the validity of ballots cast this cycle, particularly in states that have expanded early voting and mail-in options to account for health concerns surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.
With that in mind, the House Democrats' campaign arm has teamed up with Democrats in the Senate, the states and within the grass-roots community to field teams of lawyers spread around the country in anticipation of long, litigious fights over the legitimacy of ballots.
At the same time, they're warning the public and the media alike that the outcome of any number of close races almost certainly won't be known on Wednesday morning.
