🚨BREAKING: Litigation against Trump's latest power grab is imminent. https://t.co/lgXMV6ieQw

The executive order directs Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to compile a list of voting-age American citizens in each state and hand it to election officials. Oh, and the Postal Service would have to slap tracking barcodes on ballots — the same tracking you get on a $12 pair of socks from Amazon, but apparently that’s Big Brother when it comes to *elections*. States that don’t want to play ball lose their federal funding.
In other words, Trump wants to confirm that the people voting in American elections are actually Americans — and that ballots can be tracked so they don’t mysteriously appear in suitcases at 3 a.m. Terrifying stuff, right?
Apparently so — if you’re Marc Elias. The man fired off his legal threat before the ink dried because verifying citizenship is an existential crisis for the entire Democrat operation. Elias bragged that his outfit is “currently litigating 69 voting and election cases in 21 states.” Sixty-nine cases! His Democracy Docket machine has turned election lawfare into an industrial assembly line — and every single state that has to defend itself against this clown is burning through YOUR tax dollars to do it.
CNN had time last week to cover what flavor of ice cream Trump ordered at a fundraiser, but somehow nobody in the mainstream press can spare five minutes to ask why an unelected lawyer is openly running the Democratic Party’s election strategy from a private law firm. They don’t ask because they already know the answer — and they like it.
Oh, you don’t know Marc Elias? Here’s your crash course in Democrat sleaze.
This is the same lawyer who hired Fusion GPS on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the DNC back in 2016 to fabricate the Steele dossier — that pile of garbage about Trump and Russian hookers that the FBI used as a pretext to spy on an American presidential campaign. Elias personally built what reporters called a “legal barrier” between Clinton and the foreign operative Christopher Steele so Hillary could hide behind attorney-client privilege. Steele briefed Elias orally. Nothing on paper. Real cloak-and-dagger stuff from the party that lectures us about “transparency.”
The Federal Election Commission later found “probable cause” that Hillary’s campaign and the DNC violated federal law by misreporting the payments to Fusion GPS. They got slapped with a $100,000 fine — basically a parking ticket for these people. Trump himself called Elias out by name in a 2025 presidential memorandum, accusing him of being “deeply involved in the creation of a false dossier by a foreign national designed to provide a fraudulent basis for Federal law enforcement to investigate a Presidential candidate.”
So the guy who fabricated evidence to overturn the 2016 election now parades around as the noble defender of “democracy.” Democrats really do produce the best comedians.
Even Steve Bannon had to tip his hat: “One thing about Marc Elias, he’s pure evil, but, man, that brother is smart, tough.” When Steve Bannon — Steve Bannon! — calls you evil, you’ve earned a special place in the hall of shame.
Elias loves bragging about winning 64 out of 65 post-election cases in 2020. Sounds impressive until you realize those were mostly procedural slap-fights filed by desperate Trump allies after the election was already over. The real action happened *before* Election Day, when Elias and his Democrat pals blitzed swing states to gut signature verification, expand mail-in deadlines, and shove drop boxes onto every street corner. Courts later reversed most of those changes on appeal — but by then, the ballots were already counted. Funny how that works.
The DNC itself eventually dumped Elias over “strategic disagreements” heading into 2024, and Biden’s campaign cut ties with him too. Even Democrats got tired of the guy’s act. (When your own team benches you for being too much of a snake, that’s really saying something.)
Did that slow him down? Not for a second. In 2024, Elias sued to block Georgia’s new rule requiring hand-counting of ballots. Think about that — a Democrat lawyer went to court to *stop* people from counting votes by hand. He also sued Arizona to prevent officials from verifying citizenship on voter registration forms. Every single time a state tried to add a safeguard, Elias materialized with a lawsuit designed to run out the clock. Sue, delay, stall past Election Day, then shrug and say “too late to change the rules now!” That’s the playbook, and Democrats have been running it for twenty years.
This is what Democrats do. They don’t win arguments — they sue until the other side runs out of money and time.
Arizona’s Democratic Secretary of State Adrian Fontes called Trump’s order “a disgusting overreach.” A disgusting overreach — this from the party that locked you in your house for two years, masked your toddlers, and wanted to jab your kindergartener before they could learn the alphabet. Maine’s Secretary of State Shenna Bellows — the same woman who tried to single-handedly yank Trump off the 2024 ballot — sniffed that Trump “clearly didn’t get the copy of the Constitution I sent him.” These people blocked every attempt to clean voter rolls for a decade, and now they’re clutching their pearls because someone finally decided to go around them.
Trump told reporters the order is legally “foolproof.” We’ll see about that — Elias will file his lawsuit before breakfast tomorrow, and some Obama-appointed judge in D.C. will probably issue a temporary restraining order before lunch. That’s how this game always works.
But here’s what should keep Marc Elias up at night. He’s not suing some broke state Republican legal team scraping together donations to fight back this time. He’s staring down Pam Bondi at the DOJ — a woman who just spent her confirmation hearings promising to go after exactly this kind of lawfare garbage. He’s dealing with a president who already signed the executive order knowing full well Elias would sue, which means Trump’s lawyers have been gaming out this fight for months. And he’s doing all of it in front of seventy million Americans who watched his little tricks in 2020 and have been waiting four years for someone to finally call the bluff.
Elias says he doesn’t bluff, and he usually wins. Good for him. But he’s spent his whole career making sure nobody checks the Democrats’ homework — and the second someone competent finally does, every rigged deadline, every gutted signature rule, and every midnight ballot dump he’s engineered for two decades comes spilling into the daylight. We hope he’s got a good lawyer. (Oh wait — he *is* the lawyer. That’s the problem.)
