Obama-Appointed Judge Smacks Down Marc Elias' 'Absurd' Election Lawfare
|
[THEFEDERALIST] The firm of Democrats
 ...every time you hear the phrase white people , white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
’ favorite lawfare artist — who was also the attorney behind the Russia-collusion hoax — was all but laughed out of court in a recent Wisconsin election integrity case.
D.C.-based Elias Law Group, founded by former Clinton campaign and Democrat National Committee lawyer Marc Elias, brought a "novel" absentee ballot complaint against the state that an Obama-appointed judge called "head-scratching."
In dismissing the lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission, U.S District Court Chief Judge James D. Peterson summarily rejected the leftist law group’s outlandish claim that a state law requiring a U.S. citizen witness and sign an absentee voter’s ballot is a violation of voting and civil rights.
’ABSURD’ INTERPRETATION
In a 37-page ruling, Peterson railed against the complaint’s core argument, concluding that "the most obvious problem with plaintiffs’ interpretation is that it simply does not make any sense."
"The absurd results to which plaintiffs’ interpretation would lead are reason enough to reject that interpretation. But the text, purpose, and history of [Wisconsin Statute] § 6.87 also support an interpretation that a witness is required to certify only the statements about the process of preparing the ballot," Peterson wrote of the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin.
"It is plaintiffs’ interpretation that leads to head-scratching results," the federal judge wrote.
The Elias Law Group, practitioners of unbridled leftist lawfare, represent four Wisconsin residents who "wish to vote by absentee ballot in the 2024 election, but they do not want to comply with the witness requirement," according to the lawsuit. They insist the process of asking any U.S. citizen to witness them vote and to sign their absentee ballots "is difficult or inconvenient for them."
"They contend that the requirement violates two federal statutes, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and they seek to permanently enjoin enforcement of the requirement," Peterson writes in his ruling.
