The only relevant source, a Washington Examiner report published November 2, 2026, has Marc Elias saying his Elias Law Group is litigating 92 election-related cases across 42 states, close to but not matching the claimed 90 cases in 41 states.
Minor detail. The sources confirm the claim; only a minor detail differs, such as a name's spelling, a title's wording or a rounding.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… In a more constrained night for Senate Democrats, I'm focused on Ohio and Iowa and Alaska, right? So, like, I, you know, like, I've got to look all across the board, and that's only Senate states before we get to the House.

Deadline: White House · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The reported figures are 92 cases across 42 states, which differ from the claimed 90 cases in 41 states; the state count is an exact figure, not a rounded one.[1]
Supports. A November 2, 2026 Washington Examiner report says Elias Law Group is currently litigating roughly the same volume of cases as the claim describes, in a similar number of states.[1]
Context. The passage never names the organization, so tying 'the speaker's organization' to the Elias Law Group is an inference, and the source is dated after the claim with no record of the count as of October 20.[1]
