Elias is slimy.
This is what happened when he tried to interfere with TX law:

Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced that the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ordered sanctions against Marc Elias and other attorneys at Perkins Coie, an international law firm that provides counsel for the Democratic National Committee, for submitting redundant and misleading supplemental filings in their attempt to re-implement straight-ticket voting in Texas. When submitting the supplemental filings, Perkins Coie also failed to notify the Court that a nearly identical previous motion was denied. Failure to disclose this denial violated their duty of candor to the Court. The Court also recommended that Perkins Coie attorneys review the Court’s rules of professional conduct and complete one hour of Continuing Legal Education in the area of Ethics and Professionalism, specifically candor with the court.

You do know that the Texas Attorney General is under two different federal investigations and a state investigation, right? Not exactly a reliable narrator.

Ken Paxton should be in jail right now. Why do you laud him?

Oh, FFS.

How is Bloomberg as a "narrator?" Sounds like "judge shopping" to me - a favorite strategy of Elias.

Marc Elias and other lawyers with Perkins Coie LLP were ordered Friday by the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans to pay legal fees and “double costs” to Texas. The order was issued in a suit Elias filed in August on behalf of the Democrats’ Senate and congressional campaign committees.

Elias in February filed a so-called motion to supplement the record in a case accusing Texas of trying to illegally scrap straight-ticket voting during the pandemic, even though an identical motion had already been denied earlier in the case. The technical violation “unreasonably and vexatiously” dragged out the litigation by creating more work for the court, according to the ruling.

“This inexplicable failure to disclose the earlier denial of their motion violated their duty of candor to the court,” according to the appeals court, one of the most conservative in the country. “If appellees had any confusion about the application of the order, they could have and should have disclosed the previously denied motion in their new motion.”

And, the whole narrative of "disenfranchising minority voters" seems to be a theme with Democrats. Glad the 5th circuit saw through their ridiculous claim.

The case was brought on behalf of plaintiffs including the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the Texas Alliance for Retired Americans. Their position included the argument that prohibiting straight ticket voting would result in longer wait times to vote, which could harm lower-income and minority voters who lack the job flexibility to take the time wait.

Biden has made several false claims about the GA law. Has the WaPo begun that lying database on Biden that they seem to like to do?

Elias is just one of many suing the state of Georgia.

Another example of Democrats lying about this GA law......Biden gets 4 Pinocchios

The Washington Post Fact Checker knocked President Biden on Tuesday for falsely claiming a new Georgia law "ends voting hours early," giving him its harshest rating of Four Pinocchios for spreading the misinformation.

Biden repeatedly claimed last week a law signed by Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, R., would make it harder for working-class people to vote.

What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is. It’s sick. It’s sick," Biden said. "Deciding that you’re going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work."

Biden doubled down the following day in a written statement: "Among the outrageous parts of this new state law, it ends voting hours early so working people can’t cast their vote after their shift is over."

Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler wrote Biden's claim couldn't be substantiated.

"One could understand a flub in a news conference. But then this same claim popped up in an official presidential statement. Not a single expert we consulted who has studied the law understood why Biden made this claim, as this was the section of law that expanded early voting for many Georgians," Kessler wrote.

"On Election Day in Georgia, polling places are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and if you are in line by 7 p.m., you are allowed to cast your ballot. Nothing in the new law changes those rules. However, the law did make some changes to early voting. But experts say the net effect was to expand the opportunities to vote for most Georgians, not limit them," Kessler continued, noting some experts feel Biden may have been briefed on an outdated version of the bill.

Limiting the number and location of early voting and dropboxes is the main issue with that point.

Biden lied.

This statement is blatantly false. And, an effort to push through their bill to federalize elections.

Biden:
“What I’m worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is,” Biden said about the Georgia law that many on the Left have characterized as an attempt to “limit voting.” “It’s sick. It’s sick … deciding that you’re going to end voting at five o’clock when working people are just getting off work.”

“Among the outrageous parts of this new state law, it ends voting hours early so working people can’t cast their vote after their shift is over,” Biden added.

He was talking about early voting hours, not Election Day voting hours.

Bold the part where he was talking about EARLY voting.
Even Kessler gave him 4 Pinocchios.
He had a chance to correct his spoken words in a written statement. He didn't. He lied.
