The lawyer representing Hillary Clinton’s recount efforts recently led legal battles against state voting laws with an infusion of funding from billionaire George Soros.
On Saturday, Marc Elias, the Clinton team’s general counsel, announced Clinton’s campaign would participate in Green Party candidate Jill Stein’s recount effort in Wisconsin. Elias also said the Clinton campaign would participate if Stein decides to pursue recounts in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
Elias is a senior lawyer at the Perkins Coie law firm, which also represents Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.
In July, the New York Times reported Soros had pledged up to $5 million for a legal fight led by Elias against what the newspaper characterized as “restrictive voting laws enacted in recent years by Republican-controlled state governments.”
The Times further reported on Elias’ Soros-financed efforts:
Elias, who specializes in voter-protection issues, was in contact with Mr. Soros in January 2014 when Mr. Elias was exploring a series of federal lawsuits before that year’s midterm election and in advance of the 2016 campaign, according to Mr. Soros’s political adviser, Michael Vachon. (Mr. Elias declined to comment on Friday about the funding of the lawsuits.)The goal is to try to influence voting rules in states where Republican governors and Republican-led legislatures have enacted election laws since 2010, and to be ready to intervene if additional measures are passed over the next 17 months.

Time to put Clinton’s many corrupt misdeeds back on the future prosecution agenda.
That guy loves to throw bad money after bad. He’s starting to remind me of that movie “The Magic Christian.”
The same Hillary who’s MSM supporters asked DJT if he would accept the outcome of the election if it went against him, and then accused him of trying to destroy democracy when he didn’t say yes?
I was listening to Hannity and he keeps referring to “sore losers”. I just wish that that were all they were. You cannot combat these people with Junior High name-calling. If you must engage in name-calling, use adult name-calling, such as back stabbers who operate from ambush, treacherous and venomous snakes, etc. When you come face to face with a wild-eyed assassin holding a gun or knife, it doesn’t matter too much what his motives are.
Soros has hundreds of billions imo . $7 million to this Soros is like throwing a penny into a fountain for you or I.

Castro is gone, now let’s root for Soros’ demise.
how the hell is this legal?
I hope AG Sessions has Soros arrested and executed as a domestic terrorist.
Away with Soros.
George Soros, 86, spawned four children. The one named Alexander is every bit as frightening as his father.
Article on Soros funding Hillary’s & the Greenie lady’s who are contesting the election counts.
Of course.
“...Castro is gone, now let’s root for Soros’ demise....”
Yeah, he’s one of those guys that just need to “disappear”...kinda like Jimmy Hoffa did.
Sors gives millions, upon millions, and yet some of us have to buy store brand food,and think Shrimp is a once a year treat.
Imagine how much his millions he could have helped at the VA, Veterans, the homeless, Americans, but no he would rather give millions to cause uproar, and turmoil in this country.
it is time to give Soros to Russia, and seize his assets. Not long ago he would have been done for treason, today the left embraces him to further their radical agenda to destroy the country.
That's a damn shame... :-(

I keep hearing that but when I see the son, it is always in partying situations...I think he may e more inclined to please his D-delicious, but won’t have the same passion for political stuff after he is gone.
I see pics of son meeting with dim leaders. the kids are a s scary as soros
Which is why the laws need to be changed to avoid people like him having undue influence on elections.
