Obama Romney Legal Teams

Obama Romney Legal Teams, The campaigns are ready for Election Day -- so are their legal teams.President Obama and Mitt Romney both have battalions of lawyers ready to litigate any voting disputes that could affect this year's election.Legal strike forces are now a campaign standard, thanks largely to the disputed 2000 recount in Florida between George W. Bush and Al Gore.

Obama's effort is headed by former White House counsel Robert Bauer, who has been busy challenging Republican-led efforts to change voter qualification laws in certain states.

Romney's team of lawyers is headed by Benjamin Ginsberg, who was the Bush campaign's chief legal counsel in 2000 and 2004.

More from Reuters:

"With Obama and Romney in a virtual dead heat in the polls, the state-by-state race for president has a range of chaotic possibilities.

"The mostly likely scenario is that there will be a clear winner on election night, or the next morning. But the closeness of the race raises the possibility of a range of less conclusive, more confusing scenarios.

"Among them: a disputed result in a state because of voting delays, problems with ballots or vote counting.

"A contested election would send Bauer and Ginsberg -- and law firms across the nation -- rushing to courtrooms to question the validity of votes or any other irregularities that might have tipped the scales in a state's voting results.

"The close finish to the 2012 race comes after a campaign season dominated by legal wrangling, including fights over laws that require voters to produce photo identification and change early-voting periods. Democrats have succeeded in getting many of the voting restrictions tossed aside."
