The election integrity group Fair Election Fund is launching a paid media campaign trolling disgraced “Russia collusion” hoaxer Marc Elias after he failed in his push to ban Cornel West from the ballot.
Marc Elias, the famed Democrat lawyer for Hillary Clinton who was behind the mass push for vote-by-mail in 2020, failed in what the group describes as “voter suppression efforts,” as he aimed to “disenfranchise thousands of black voters who signed petitions to get Cornel West on the ballot in their respective battleground states.”
However, the Fair Election Fund is celebrating ultimate victory over Elias with a six-figure ad buy — beginning Tuesday — showcasing his defeat on this front.
One of the ads, which includes mobile billboards around the Elias Law Group office as well as a full-page ad in the Washington Post’s print edition, declares, “We beat Marc Elias and his racist voter suppression lawsuits.”
“Despite their best efforts, Democrats failed miserably to stop the candidacies of Stein and West. Their leading election lawyer, Marc Elias, had his butt kicked up and down the field in court by the legal apparatuses of the Stein and West teams,” the Fair Election Fund explained in an October 4 update.
“Elias’ embarrassing showing over the last few months ensures that the Harris campaign will face formidable third party competition in almost every key state. Here is a rundown of all the battleground states where both Stein and West achieved ballot access,” it added with the following list:
1. Arizona *Stein only*
2. Georgia
3. Maine
4. Michigan
5. North Carolina
6. Pennsylvania *Stein only*
7. Virginia
8. Wisconsin*Whether Cornel West appears on the ballot in Pennsylvania is still an open question, as the Democrat-controlled Pennsylvania state Supreme Court played politics over the issue and subjected West to unfair requirements that suppress the voting rights of thousands of Pennsylvanians. West is currently challenging those requirements in Federal Court in the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Fair Election Fund recently ran television ads holding the Pennsylvania state Supreme Court accountable for blocking West.*
Former Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA), a senior adviser to the watchdog group, said this was a “great victory for Democracy and voting rights.”
“Marc Elias and his band of Democrat operatives failed in their racist election interference scheme to block Cornel West from the ballot,” he said in a statement.
Ultimately, the Fair Election Fund plans to spend $5 million this year alone to expose the fraud in the election system.
