Abrams' group, Fair Fight Action, gave $9.4 million to Lawrence-Hardy's firm in 2019 and 2020, the most recently available tax filings show. The payments were largely for a court case against Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, alleging that the state's election system was flawed and discriminatory.

aThe voting rights group lost on all three claims last month.

Fair Fight Action also paid $8.6 million in legal fees for Jenner & Block, $2.4 million for Miller & Chevalier Chartered and $1.6 million for KaiserDillon, according to tax filings.

By contrast, the state of Georgia spent less than $6 million defending the secretary of state's office, state officials said.
