Ben Ginsberg, a conservative elections lawyer, testified June 13 before the House Jan. 6 committee that he found no evidence of any kind of voter fraud related to the 2020 election, despite former President Donald Trump’s claims.

Ginsberg counseled the Bush-Cheney presidential campaigns in 2000 and 2004, including through the recount of the 2020 presidential election, and co-chaired the bipartisan Presidential Commission on Election Administration.

Ginsberg was the final witness to testify in the second day of hearings, on a panel with BJ Pak, the former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia, and Al Schmidt, a former Philadelphia city commissioner.

At the committee hearing, Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., questioned Ginsberg about the 62 lawsuits the Trump campaign filed claiming election fraud, asking if the campaign effectively made its case.

“I’ve looked at the more than 60 [cases] that include more than 180 counts and no. The simple fact is that the Trump campaign did not make its case,” Ginsberg said.

Ahead of Tuesday, Donald Trump is using five strategies to overturn the election, according to CNN.

The former president's campaign team has placed "an intense focus on Pennsylvania" — a critical battleground state — the news outlet reports.

Per the report, "Trump has already claimed without evidence that his opponents are cheating in the state, both on his social media and at campaign rallies. At a Tuesday rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Trump claimed that the discovery of hundreds of suspected fraudulent voter registration applications in Lancaster County was evidence of cheating."

The second way the GOP nominee is setting the stage for election interference, is through billionaire "Elon Musk’s misinformation machine."

CNN reports, "In Michigan this past week, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson tried to push back on a claim Musk shared about registered voters in Michigan, accusing him of 'spreading dangerous disinformation.' Musk responded that Benson was 'blatantly lying to the public.'"

Furthermore, the report notes, "Musk was latching onto claims alleging there were more ballots cast in Michigan’s early voters than there were identified voters, which the secretary of state’s office said was due to a data 'formatting error' that was corrected."

Third, Trump and Republican allies are "manipulating early voting numbers."

The former president, CNN reports, "claimed he had won because he was ahead, ignoring the fact that the in-person votes, which tended to be more Republican-leaning, had been counted ahead of mail-in ballots, which leaned more Democratic."

However, since Republicans have "embraced mail voting this year and there’s no pandemic pushing millions to vote that way, a similar phenomenon could still happen this election."

The fourth way Trump wants to thwart the election results, are through "baseless claims of rampant non-citizen voting."

The news outlet notes that "experts say illegal voting by non-citizens is extremely rare, and when it does happen, it is usually caught quickly. A recent Georgia audit of the 8.2 million people on its rolls found just 20 registered noncitizens – only nine of whom had voted."

Lastly, Trump is stoking "fears of another attempt to challenge the result."

Although Congress has taken steps "to blunt any attempt to of a 2020 repeat," by updating "the Electoral Count Act, the law that governs the January 6 congressional certification of the presidential election, in an attempt to make it harder to block certification," the ex-president "and his allies have been laying the groundwork to try to dispute the election should he lose."

A group of right-wing activists, according to CNN, have already invoked the "Stop the Steal" movement by "telling their supporters that the only way Trump can lose in 2024 is through fraud."

CNN contributor and Republican campaign attorney Ben Ginsberg said, "It’s unfortunate that he sees his path back to the White House as denigrating a basic American institution like elections. If you’re just starting to pay attention to this, the claims that you’re hearing in 2024 about the election system not being reliable is extraordinarily similar to what he and his supporters were saying in 2020."

[### Opinion | My party is destroying itself on the altar of Trump

Washington Post

https://www.washingtonpost.com › 2020/11/01 › ben-g...](https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/11/01/ben-ginsberg-voter-suppression-republicans/)

Nov 1, 2020 — Benjamin L. Ginsberg practiced election law for 38 years. He co-chaired the bipartisan 2013 Presidential Commission on Election Administration.

---

Many legal experts, including election lawyer and Democracy Docket publisher Marc Elias, have been warning that if Donald Trump loses the 2024 election to President Joe Biden, his MAGA allies will do everything they can to overturn the election results —only this time, they will be better prepared than they were in 2020. And prominent Republicans like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York) and Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) haven't committed to accepting the election results if Trump loses.

In an article published on June 26, Washington Post reporters Amy Gardner, Patrick Marley and Colby Itkowitz detail a strategy by pro-Trump MAGA Republicans to block the election results in five swing states.

"Delaying certification at any step could hold up or halt the process, potentially preventing the rightful winner from taking office," the journalists explain. "Since 2020, county-level election officials in five key battleground states — Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania — have tried to block the certification of vote tallies in both primaries and general elections. So far, none of the efforts have succeeded."

Gardner, Marley and Itkowitz add, "In some cases, the actions came up against strict state rules limiting the role of county election boards in determining electoral outcomes, and critics say those rules will serve as essential guardrails this fall to thwart any coordinated efforts to set aside a state’s popular vote."

The Post reporters warn that Trump "has stated plainly that the only way he can lose this fall is if Democrats cheat."

"His campaign and the Republican National Committee are spending historic sums building 'election integrity' operations in key battleground states, preparing to challenge results in court, and recruiting large armies of grass-roots supporters to monitor voting locations and counting facilities and to serve as poll workers," Gardner, Marley and Itkowitz observe. "Certification of local results is a key target in this effort, a once-mundane administrative step that has become a flash point in the debate over election security — and a potential opportunity to subvert the will of voters."

Tolulope Kevin Olasanoye, executive director of the Georgia Democratic Party, is sounding the alarm about possible GOP efforts to block election results in his state.

Olasanoye told the Post, "They are playing poker with the cards up. They are telling us exactly what they are going to do. We would be foolish if we sat on our hands and did nothing and watched this happen."

Benjamin L. Ginsberg, a veteran GOP election lawyer who has been a scathing critic of MAGA election denialism and testified before the January 6 Select Committee in 2022, is speaking out as well.

Ginsberg told the Post, "An awful lot of people are looking at a potential parade of horrible scenarios. The number of people who doubt the reliability of elections has only increased. It hasn't decreased. And that worries me tremendously."

On August 25, 2004, Benjamin Ginsberg, the top election lawyer to the Bush campaign on campaign finance law, also resigned after it was learned that SBVT was one of his clients. Ginsberg stated that he was withdrawing to avoid being a distraction to the campaign. He declared that he had acted "in a manner that is fully appropriate and legal,"^[83]^ arguing that it was not uncommon or illegal for lawyers to represent campaigns or political parties while also representing 527 groups. He also maintained that he did not disclose to the Bush campaign that he was simultaneously representing the SBVT group. After leaving the Bush campaign, Ginsberg retained his status as counsel to SBVT.

Benjamin L. "Ben" Ginsberg, an elections and campaign finance lawyer, is a partner in the law firm of Patton Boggs, a well-connected DC lobbying firm.

Controversy

Swift Boat-Bush Conflict of Interest

Ginsberg was chief outside counsel to both the 2000 and 2004 Bush-Cheney campaigns. He resigned in August 2004 [2] from the campaign when the media publicized the fact that he was simultaneously representing the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, who were attacking Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.). [3]

In his resignation letter to President Bush he wrote "I have decided to resign as national counsel to your campaign to ensure that the giving of legal advice to decorated military veterans, which was entirely within the boundaries of the law, doesn't distract from the real issues upon which you and the country should be focusing." [4] [5]

In February 2004 Ginsburg had told the Associated Press thatit "would be irresponsible for an attorney to counsel a 527 group"—such as the Swift Boat Vets for Truth—"that it could spend soft money on messages the FEC has historically considered federal election activity,or that mentions the name of a federal candidate, without putting the group and their donors at considerable risk." [6]

However, on May 17, 2004, Roll Call reported that "Republican activists" Craig Shirley, Frank Donatelli and George Terwilliger were meeting "to determine the best way for the GOP to run a shadow campaign countering the well-oiled effort that Democrats" had begun in 2003 and other "pro-Republican groups" would begin discussions later that week. Ginsberg, then "national counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaign," was to "help advise the group or groups."

Donatelli's Donatelli Group, which produced the RNC's website, also registered and produced the Swift Boat Vets website.

Representing Corporate-Funded Front Groups

Ginsberg has also worked for the corporate-funded, Republican-friendly front groups Americans for Job Security and Progress for America [7], a pro-Bush 527 committee run by staff from the DCI Group.

Katherine Harris' Campaign Finance Scandals

He was retained in 2006 by Rep. Katherine Harris (R-Fla.) to help her deal with campaign finance scandals related to her 2006 U.S. Senate bid. [8]

Pushing T. Boone Pickens Energy Plan

In support of his "energy independence" plan for the United States, T. Boone Pickens launched a $60 million marketing campaign in support of his PickensPlan and, O'Dwyers PR Daily reported in September 2008, had hired Benjamin Ginsberg and Joshua Greene.^[1]

Benjamin L. Ginsberg (born c. 1952) is an American lawyer. He is most well known for his work representing the Republican Party and its political campaigns, candidates, members of Congress and state legislatures and governors, as well as corporations, trade associations, businesses, and individuals participating in the political process.^[1]

Before his August 2020 retirement, he was a partner at Jones Day.^[2] Prior to that, he worked at Patton Boggs, LLP.^[3][4]

Early life, education and journalism work

Ginsberg was raised in a Jewish family^[5] and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974.^[3] While at Penn, he was involved in the school's newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, where he served as a reporter (1970–72), contributing editor (1972) and editor-in-chief (1973).

After college he spent five years as a newspaper reporter for The Boston Globe, Philadelphia Bulletin, The Berkshire Eagle, and The Press-Enterprise.^[3]

Ginsburg received his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University in 1982. While in law school, he worked in the Capitol Hill office of Representative George Brown Jr. (D-CA).^[3]

Legal career:

Ginsberg joined Patton Boggs in 1993 after serving for eight years as counsel to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the National Republican Congressional Committee.^[6]

In the 2000 and 2004 election cycles, Ginsberg served as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaign.^[3] In 2000, he played a central role in the Florida recount.^[3] He also represents the campaigns and leadership PACs of numerous members of the Senate and House, as well as the Republican National Committee, National Republican Senatorial Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee.^[3] He serves as counsel to the Republican Governors Association and has wide experience on the state legislative level from directing Republican redistricting efforts nationwide following the 1990 Census and being actively engaged in the 2001-2002 round of redistricting.^[3] In Jay Roach's Recount (about the 2000 election), Ginsberg is played by Bob Balaban.^[citation ^needed]

In 2004, Ginsberg gave legal advice to the controversial 527 Group Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. Though his simultaneous activities with the "Swifties" and the 2004 Bush Campaign could be considered questionable, his activities were not illegal. Nonetheless, Ginsberg resigned as legal counsel from the Bush Campaign after his position was made public.^[citation ^needed]

Ginsberg appears frequently on television commenting on law and politics.^[6] He is a MSNBC political analyst. He also sits on the Advisory Committee of the Election Law Program at William & Mary Law School.^[7]

He is a former Resident Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School.^[6]

In November 2011, Ginsberg was included on The New Republic's list of Washington's most powerful, least famous people.^[8]

Ginsberg served as National Counsel to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign in 2008^[3] and in 2012.^[9] In August 2012, Politico reported that "Ginsberg has handled the campaign's most sensitive legal matters... and would be the most obvious choice for White House counsel" in a potential Romney cabinet.^[10]

In 2013, Ginsberg was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage during the Hollingsworth v. Perry case.^[11]

President Barack Obama chose Ginsberg and Robert Bauer, a Democrat, in 2013 to co-chair the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, a yearlong investigation into voting problems. Their findings, "The American Voting Experience: Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration," were published in 2014.^[12]

In September 2020, *The Washington Post* published an op-ed by Ginsberg that criticized President Donald Trump for encouraging supporters to commit voter fraud and for making false statements claiming fraud was widespread when it is not.^[13] Ginsberg wrote, "The truth is that after decades of looking for illegal voting, there's no proof of widespread fraud. At most, there are isolated incidents — by both Democrats and Republicans. Elections are not rigged. Absentee ballots use the same process as mail-in ballots — different states use different labels for the same process."^[14]

In June 2022, he was scheduled to testify at the second public hearing of the January 6 House committee about Donald Trump's failed 2020 election lawsuits.^[15]

About

I retired from private practice in September 2020 and am now at Stanford's Hoover Institution as the Volker Distinguished Visiting Fellow. As part of Hoover's Restoring American Institution initiative, I am studying elections and how to restore public confidence in the reliability of election results. I also co-chair two non-profits -- Pillars of the Community and the Election Officials Legal Defense Network -- with my Democratic colleague Bob Bauer aimed at helping election officials and the credibility of elections.

While in private practice at Jones Day and Patton Boggs, I represented political parties, political campaigns, candidates, members of Congress and state legislatures, governors, corporations, trade associations, PACs, vendors, donors, and individuals participating in the political process. I worked with these clients over four decades on issues involving participation in the political process, particularly those involving federal and state campaign finance laws, government investigations, ethics and gifts rules, pay-to-play laws, election administration, redistricting, communications law, and election recounts and contests.

Prior to joining Jones Day in 2014, I served as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney presidential campaigns in the 2004 and 2000 election cycles and played a central role in the 2000 Florida recount. In 2012 and 2008, I served as national counsel to the Romney for President campaign. I also represent the campaigns and leadership PACs of numerous members of the Senate and House as well as the national party committees.

I am frequently asked by the media to provide commentary on politics and the law and serve on several non-profit and for-profit boards....
