A bipartisan effort to protect democracy from abuse of the legal system by holding accountable lawyers who engage in fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results and fuel insurrection.

Our Mission

Following Biden’s victory an army of Big Lie Lawyers filed 65 lawsuits based on lies to overturn the election and give Trump a second term. While the nation’s legal institutions stood up to this attempted “coup-via-courtroom,” Trump has worked to further seize control of state and local election processes and ramp up malicious election litigation efforts — which only embolden future fraudulent legal actions aimed at overturning legitimate elections. Simultaneously, the lies and disinformation included in these lawsuits continue to give oxygen to the Big Lie, which festers in right-wing political and media circles and social media discussions and is a long-term threat to American democracy.

The 65 Project is a bipartisan effort to protect democracy from these abuses by holding accountable Big Lie Lawyers who bring fraudulent and malicious lawsuits to overturn legitimate election results and deter them from doing so in the future.

THE PROJECT

Why 65?

Right after the 2020 election, Trump’s Big Lie Lawyers filed 65 lawsuits across swing states to overturn the legitimate election results. Finding the assertions baseless and riddled with false statements, Republican and Democratic appointed judges uniformly dismissed the lawsuits.
