Infamous Democrat election meddler Marc Elias will not commit to accepting the results of the election if former President Donald Trump wins.
Elias, whose election litigation services have been retained by Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, declined to answer multiple requests from The Federalist about accepting the results of this year’s election. While his client, Harris, persistently demands that Trump promise not to challenge election results no matter what, even if there’s evidence of wrongdoing or fraud, Elias will not commit to the same standard in order to leave the door open to file suits if Harris loses.
“Elias only pretends to care about democracy. Democrats, not democracy, are his real concern,” Derek Lyons, president and CEO of Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections, told The Federalist. “Whether it is characterizing voting by non-citizens as a victory for voting rights, working to nullify a referendum to preserve in-person voting requirements in New York, or encouraging House Democrats to nullify a certified Republican victory in an Iowa congressional race, he will resort to any tactic that might invalidate or dilute Republican votes.”
“Few, if any, have done more to politicize our elections, to the great detriment of our democracy,” Lyons said of Elias.
Elias has been meddling in elections, and sometimes successfully overturning them, for most of his career, despite paying lip service on television to calling Republicans who challenge things like noncitizens voting or the lack of election integrity safeguards “election deniers.” In an MSNBC interview, he even called for the disbarment of Republican lawyers who challenge elections like he does, while maintaining that he, the Democrat Party, and their allies should be able to file lawsuits that can tip election results their way.
“We have to ask ourselves whether or not the legal institutions here, including the bar, have, again, shifted the Overton Window in such a way that, sure, there are disbarments at the very outer lens, but we have sort of normalized a contentious behavior towards democracy,” he said, referencing the California bar’s disbarment of election lawyer John Eastman. “I don’t think any lawyer should have a bar license for the privilege of destroying our country’s democratic traditions.”
