From the New York Post: A shady Democratic attorney who once loudly attacked President-elect Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 presidential results is now at the heart of a desperate legal effort to snatch Pennsylvania’s Senate race away from its rightful winner — Republican Dave McCormick, campaign insiders say.
Marc Elias, a longtime Democratic election attorney and dirty trickster, is attempting to force the Pennsylvania Senate race into a recount, even though it was called for McCormick by the Associated Press on Thursday, with even the state’s most liberal news outlets echoing the call since.
Despite the race being called, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has refused to concede — blasting out a fundraising email Saturday urging supporters to pony up and make sure “every last vote in this PA Senate race is counted.”
The keystone state requires an automatic recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5%. With 99% of the ballots counted, McCormick leads Casey by more than 41,000 votes — just above the threshold triggering such a count.
Even if a recount takes place it is unlikely that Casey will be able to find enough votes to change the outcome — but the legal fight could leave state taxpayers on the hook for a seven-figure bill.
The New York Post further explains the history behind Elias:
Elias has a long history of shilling for a rogue’s gallery of Democratic interests and causes.
In 2022, The Black Lives Matter movement retained him to clean up their shady finances, and during the 2016 presidential campaign he was responsible for commissioning the research that led to the infamous “Steele dossier” which sparked the years-long Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump.
Elias has also led efforts in multiple states challenging voter ID laws, expensive projects lavishly funded by Democratic megadonor George Soros, the Washington Post reported.
Even though he condemned Trump for questioning the results of the 2020 election as “dangerous for democracy,” Elias is now doing that very thing himself.
“The Pennsylvania Senate race is not over. More soon,” threatened Elias in a post on X Thursday.
The Pennsylvania Senate race is not over.
More soon.
