Daniel

Osher

Before joining the Whitmer administration, Osher was litigation counsel at Elias Law Group in Washington, DC. He has extensive experience litigating voting rights and election law matters at all levels of federal and state courts. He played a key role in Allen v. Milligan (2023), a successful Voting Rights Act challenge to Alabama’s congressional districting map. In 2022, he and his team successfully challenged Georgia’s prohibition against voting in its US Senate runoff election during the Saturday after Thanksgiving; ultimately, 70,000 voters cast their ballots that day. In addition to litigating several cases seeking to expand voting rights during the 2020 election cycle, Osher defended against various attempts to overturn the accurate results of the presidential election and represented several members of Congress in litigation challenging their electoral victories. He also was involved in 2019 litigation that prompted Mississippi to alter the way it elects statewide officeholders.
