Races for Attorney General Take on New Importance

“Control of attorney general offices could also prove critical in the next presidential election after both parties were heavily involved in the contentious legal battles that followed the 2020 election with Democratic attorneys general defending Biden’s victory against attempts by their GOP counterparts seeking to overturn it.”
