Press Release:

    RALEIGH, NC     Roy Cooper's legal defense team includes Democrat power attorney Mark Elias, former counsel to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

    Elias' name may sound familiar to those covering North Carolina politics. He was the lead attorney working to undo voter ID laws in North Carolina and across the country with strong financial support from the liberal billionaire George Soros.

    Elias has been forthright in his reasoning for challenging North Carolina's voter ID law... to make it easier to elect Democrats.

    While Pat McCrory has fought to increase the integrity of our elections and combat voter fraud, Roy Cooper and his backroom lawyer have fought to erode the integrity of the ballot box, making it easier to commit voter fraud. While he was charged with defending North Carolina's voter ID law as attorney general, Roy Cooper accepted campaign cash from George Soros before dropping his defense of the law.

    Currently, about one tenth of one percent separate Roy Cooper and Pat McCrory's vote totals.

    The crusade of a Democratic superlawyer with multimillion-dollar backing

    By Robert Barnes

    The Washington Post

    August 7, 2016

    ...Elias, a go-to lawyer for Democrats in recount fights and redistricting battles, has now taken a prominent and somewhat controversial place among the coalition of groups challenging a wave of state election laws that were rewritten in recent years.

    With a multimillion-dollar commitment from liberal mega-donor George Soros...

    ...But Elias's efforts explicitly on behalf of Democrats have made 2016 different. Besides joining the efforts of civil rights groups in several states, he has also struck out on his own, bringing additional claims in states that are especially important for Hillary Clinton's campaign and future Democratic candidates...

    Elias joined civil rights groups in some cases but said he also filed lawsuits in places where a favorable ruling will help the Democratic Party...

    ...Even if anyone tried, there would be no way to separate Elias the voting rights lawyer from Elias the political lawyer. Asked about the clients he and his colleagues at the law firm of Perkins Coie represent, Elias replies: "We represent the DNC, the DSCC, the DCCC, the DGA, the DLCC, House Majority PAC, Senate Majority PAC, Priorities USA, Emily's List, 40-plus Democratic senators, 100-plus Democratic House members."
