Washington Democrats Sue to Get Rid of Bipartisan Election Fraud Prevention Law

Lawsuit is latest attempt from left-wing lawyers to influence election outcomes

Raleigh, N.C. — Democratic-establishment attorneys in Washington that have filed repeat election lawsuits in North Carolina are at it again.

This time they’re looking to throw out an election fraud law the General Assembly passed 160–1 and Gov. Roy Cooper signed into law. The law was written to prevent organized groups from taking advantage of voters in North Carolina.

The bill — introduced by two Republicans and six Democrats — prevents absentee ballot harvesting schemes like the one that was discovered in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.

Now, these left-wing attorneys want to rollback voter protections because they incorrectly claim political organizing groups have a constitutional right to collect and submit absentee ballots for other voters.

Ironically, Marc Elias, the lawyer who filed this lawsuit represented Democrat Dan McCready during the 9th District trial. He’s now arguing the fraud that happened to his former client and that precipitated a new election should be allowed.

Why on Earth would they want to make a practice that overturned a congressional election more common?

“These reforms were put into place to protect North Carolinians’ right to vote,” said bill sponsor Sen. Warren Daniel (R-Burke). “This is just another lawsuit in a long string of left-wing attempts to influence election outcomes. These were common-sense changes passed to put an end to organized groups taking advantage of voters for partisan gain.

“It shouldn’t be controversial to want to quash election fraud, but far-left lawyers in D.C. continue to show that they’re more concerned about winning elections than protecting the right to vote, even if it means throwing North Carolina’s Democratic legislators under the bus.”
