Yesterday Hot Air<\/a> posted an article about voter registration<\/a> in Ohio<\/a>. Marc Elias<\/a> is the general counsel for Hillary Clinton\u2019s presidential campaign<\/a>. Earlier this year he represented the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a group challenging the state’s new voter identification law<\/a>. The purpose of the group was to register voters to increase voter participation in elections. Well, some of the people they registered to vote were amazing.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Marc Elias, an attorney at Perkins Coie<\/a> who has become the go-to fixer for Democrats and is now general counsel for Clinton\u2019s presidential campaign, became involved with the Ohio Organizing Collaborative this May when he filed a lawsuit on its behalf to challenge the state\u2019s voter identification laws.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now the group is being investigated by the Ohio Bureau of Criminal investigation after a local board of elections alleged that 25 to 30 of the voter-registration applications that the group submitted appeared to be fraudulent\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey have turned in roughly 530 voter registrations, of which five of them were dead people,\u201d said Johnson. \u201cThey actually had the dead people\u2019s drivers license numbers and Social Security numbers<\/a>, and of course they forged the signatures of these dead people.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It seems that Attorney Elias has an interesting history in supporting voter participation. In 2010 in the gubernatorial election in Minnesota, there were more votes that the total number of people who showed up and signed in to vote. One estimate puts the number at about 12,000, greater than the margin of victory claimed by Democrat, Mark Dayton<\/a>. Attorney Elias argued the case, and Marc Dayton<\/a> become the governor.<\/p>\n

In making the case that going back and checking the ballots would be a waste of time, Attorney Elias stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce the ballots are opened and once you know the vote total, courts should be skeptical about procedural challenges that could have been brought earlier,\u201d Elias said. \u201cThe time to challenge the voting process is before the election when the veil of ignorance still stands as to whether this process or that process benefits one candidate or another.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another example of the need for voter identification laws.<\/p>\n
