Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias has lost his bid to thwart a Kansas law banning foreign actors from funneling money into state-level ballot initiatives.
In May, the Elias Law Group, the eponymous law firm of the election attorney, jointly filed a federal lawsuit challenging the ban, enacted as H.B. 2106, on behalf of the foreign-funded Kansans for Constitutional Freedom.
This week, an Obama-appointed judge issued a scathing ruling rejecting the plaintiff’s request for a preliminary injunction “premised on an unconstitutional overbreadth theory.”
H.B. 2106, which amends the state’s Campaign Finance Act, prohibits donations from foreign nationals in support or defeat of proposed amendments to the Kansas constitution.
Federal law already forbids foreign interests from contributing to individual candidates and super PACs, but a backdoor exists regarding ballot measures. H.B. 2106, however, closes this foreign influence loophole in Kansas elections.
U.S. Judge Daniel D. Crabtree, an Obama appointee, sided with the state on Monday, the eve of the Kansas law’s effective date.

“The latest court defeat marks Elias’s second failed attempt to block a state election security law concerning foreign interference. Last year, Elias joined litigation challenging Ohio’s foreign funding ban. Despite a win in district court, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately ruled that Ohio has a right to prevent foreign nationals from meddling in state politics.”
“..Marc Elias got smacked down this time....”
This vile POS needs a whole lot more than just a “smack down”.
A one-way trip to CECOT would be the perfect starter.

I agree. Can you imagine all the crimes in his background? He is one of those that thinks he is untouchable. But remember, so did Avenatti.
Marc Elias ping
In a sane country Elias would already have been tarred, feathered, and run out of town in a rail.

Can the Elias gang keep contributing and the rats keep spending while Elias appeals? Imagine the fund raising letters.
Yup.
Piss off, Elias.
Marc Elias is one of the most evil men in America. He is the mastermind behind Democrat vote fraud.
