Marc Elias states his law firm is handling 87 voting and election cases across 44 states and D.C., framing this as central to defending democracy. While Elias Law Group is documented as actively litigating voting rights cases nationwide — including recent wins blocking DOJ voter data demands in Rhode Island and Indiana's student ID ban — the specific case count of 87 isn't independently confirmed in available sources. The characterization of these cases as existentially important to democracy reflects the genuine high stakes of current voting rights litigation but lacks supporting evidence beyond Elias's own assertion.
