The Democratic Party is fighting to protect what it calls the “Obama coalition” of African-Americans, Latinos, and young people by trying to overturn certain voter legislation, with the help of billionaire George

Marc Elias, described by the Washington Post (WAPO) as a “Democratic superlawyer,” has been bringing a number of cases to battleground states where Republicans have tweaked laws to supposedly work in their favor.

For the 2016 election, 15 states introduced new voting restrictions, ranging from strict photo ID requirements to early and same-day voting limits.

Elias, who rose to prominence in 2008 representing Minnesota Senator Al Franken in a recount which lasted eight months, approached Soros with proposals to challenge voting restrictions in states around the country, WAPO reports.

Protect the sanctity of the ballot? Nah - we can’t have that! We must protect our political coalition!

They’ve just admitted the lies they’ve told courts.

Marc Elias, described by the Washington Post (WAPO) as a “Democratic superlawyer,”...

Yeah, that might not be such a great thing to be in the not so distant future of voice keeps getting SHUT DOWN.

COME ON guys, this is like a banana republic.

No ID needed to vote, a government run media, a vote counting system that we dont know who the hell is in CHARGE OF.

Trump started something that’s not going away.

No matter how much they plot and conspire and wish it away.
