I can think of only two reasons lawyers would not be interested in the
case:
1. There is no money in it. I doubt that in this case. While those
people are almost certainly not rich, lots of democratic supporters
who do have money would love to see Harris lose big on something like
this. Plus the state of Florida would be a juice target.
2. They don't think they are likely to win. I suspect that is the
reason.
