Clinton's Top Lawyer Joins Soros-Funded Super PAC to Fight Voting Laws

[Free Beacon] The top lawyer for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign has joined the board of a major Democratic Super PAC funded by liberal billionaire George Soros to lead its efforts against state voting laws.

Marc Elias, a partner at the D.C.-based Perkins Coie law firm who is the go-to fixer for Democrats, has joined the board of Priorities USA Action, the largest liberal Super PAC that threw its weight behind Hillary Clinton.

Priorities tapped Elias as the group prepares to shift its focus on pushing back against state-level Republican efforts dealing with voting laws, CNN reports. Priorities will also absorb Every Citizen Counts, a nonprofit created by Clinton allies that focused on mobilizing Latino and African American voters.

Elias will spearhead Priorities USA's challenges against the voting laws from their nonprofit arm. The group is building a national database "that's intended to serve as a one-stop inventory of restrictive voting measures which will be shared with other progressive organizations," CNN reported. Additionally, Priorities plans to beef up its staff as it prepares to launch advocacy campaigns centered on their challenges.

Dave Johnson, vice-chairman of the Columbiana County Board of Elections, said that the board contacted the sheriff’s office once they began noticing frequent problems with the registrations submitted by the Ohio Organizing Collaborative.

“They have turned in roughly 530 voter registrations, of which five of them were dead people,” said Johnson. “They actually had the dead people’s drivers license numbers and Social Security numbers, and of course they forged the signatures of these dead people.”

Adam Booth, the county’s elections chairman, said that a pattern of fraud quickly became evident when processing the forms submitted by the Ohio Organizing Collaborativ
