American lawyer

Benjamin Langer Ginsberg (born c. 1952) is an American lawyer. He is most well known for his work representing the Republican Party and its political campaigns, candidates, members of Congress and state legislatures and governors, as well as corporations, trade associations, businesses, and individuals participating in the political process. Before his August 2020 retirement, he was a partner at Jones Day. Prior to that, he worked at Patton Boggs, LLP.

Ginsberg was raised in a Jewish family and received his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1974. In the 2000 and 2004 election cycles, Ginsberg served as national counsel to the Bush Cheney presidential campaign. Ginsberg appears frequently on television commenting on law and politics. He is a former Resident Fellow at the Harvard Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School. Ginsberg served as National Counsel to Mitt Romney's Presidential campaign in 2008 In August 2012, Politico reported that "Ginsberg has handled the campaign's most sensitive legal matters and would be the most obvious choice for White House counsel" in a potential Romney cabinet. In 2013, Ginsberg was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same sex marriage during the Hollingsworth v. Perry case. President Barack Obama chose Ginsberg and Robert Bauer, a Democrat, in 2013 to co chair the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, a yearlong investigation into voting problems. Their findings, "The American Voting Experience: Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration," were published in 2014. In September 2020, The Washington Post published an op ed by Ginsberg that criticized President Donald Trump for encouraging supporters to commit voter fraud and for making false statements claiming fraud was widespread when it is not. Ginsberg wrote, "The truth is that after decades of looking for illegal voting, there's no proof of widespread fraud. At most, there are isolated incidents — by both Democrats and Republicans. Elections are not rigged. Absentee ballots use the same process as mail in ballots — different states use different labels for the same process." He testified at the second public hearing of the January 6 House committee about Donald Trump's failed 2020 election lawsuits.
