Lawyer Alex Kaufman was part of the legal team who worked on Donald Trump's 2020 campaign in Georgia .

He was a silent listener on the infamous January 2021 call in which Trump pressured Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” enough votes to have reversed his loss there.

Several of those lawyers involved in the effort to overturn the 2020 election faced legal consequences.

RNC and Trump campaign have focused what they call their election integrity effort on 18 states including the key swing states.

A central component of the plan is training poll watchers and workers who can liaise with lawyers to identify potential legal issues.

RNC lost a case in Michigan questioning how the state manages voter rolls and other cases in Michigan and North Carolina .
