Marc Elias has driven Republicans crazy for years. From Paul Sperry at realclearwire.com:
If Donald Trump gets past Kamala Harris on Nov. 5, he’ll likely face a fiercer opponent in court – her campaign attorney, Marc Elias.
The longtime Democratic Party lawyer has already filed more than 60 preelection lawsuits to stop Trump from becoming president again by combatting what he calls Republican “voter suppression” efforts such as requiring voters to provide identification at the polls. Echoing a standard Democratic talking point, Elias maintains that such requirements are “racist” strategies designed to make it harder for minorities to vote.
At the same time, Elias has been sending letters to election officials in Georgia and other key swing states threatening legal action if they uphold challenges to voter rolls to remove noncitizens and other ineligible registrants. Some Georgia officials complain that his intimidation tactics are interfering with county registrars’ ability to check the qualifications of voters.
If Trump is declared the winner, the hard-charging attorney threatens to overturn his election by deploying an army of more than 75 lawyers to sue for ballot recounts in several swing states. Trump, in turn, has threatened to lock Elias up for election interference, as ABC News moderator David Muir pointed out in last month’s presidential debate between Trump and Kamala Harris.
Elias symbolizes the growing impact of lawfare on U.S. elections as both parties are turning increasingly to the courts to gain an edge. According to a newly disclosed Republican National Committee memo, the Trump campaign has filed or joined 123 election lawsuits in 26 states, 82 of which are in battleground states, to combat what it describes as voter fraud. It has also hired thousands of lawyers to fend off what a Trump lawyer expects will be “an onslaught of litigation” from the Harris campaign contesting the results of the election. Of course, that army of lawyers will also be used to push recounts should Trump lose.
Comrade Elias is very useful for the CPUSA (D) and saw one that said the Grand Old Politburo (R) is happy to have lawfare used on them.
Comrade Hobbs (CPUSA) of the glorious people’s republic of Arizona has admitted to 150,000 newcomer replacement New Jack lifetime voting for a living dependents on the rolls so you can at least double that number.
Too bad we have such a feckless loser “opposition” party.
I kid there is no opposition in the statist utopian UNI-Party.
I wouldn’t trust anything in Georgia with CCP comrades Shemp and Raffensberger still there.
The poll workers are all Stacy Abrams’ sisters and just as hot. (s/)
They know ahead of time when the 4AM ballots are pulling up.
Some spray paint cans are ready for the cameras and manly men actors can supply the tools.
