McAuliffe hires Marc Elias for his Atty. (RW Nat'l Review seems worried 🙂)




Marc E. Elias

@marceelias
I wear their scorn as a badge of honor.👇

"He filed most of the lawsuits that resulted in courts’ and election bureaucrats’ suspending the election-related statutes that had previously been signed into law by state legislatures and signed by governors."

********


RW publication, National Review:
"McAuliffe Hires Marc Elias, the Left’s Most Toxic Legal General
"
😏

*******
THIS IS WHY:




Marc E. Elias
@marceelias

Every RW mag or blog is freaking out.
I google searched "McAuliffe hires Marc Elias", to find more info, & the entire RW headlines are trending with this 'concern'!

Think maybe this kinda throws a wrench in their devious election scam.

Thanks Mr Elias. We all feel a bit safer 👍

How?

Is he going to sue the state Supreme Court in federal court?

And what good does he possibly see in telegraphing that before the court even acts?

Kovid Kim and the Cons passed a bunch of laws making voting harder with shorter hours. We've always had a bipartisan commission drawing the districts. The Cons are getting ready to do away with that and do their own redistricting.
