A federal judge ruled against and seemingly ridiculed a lawsuit brought against a Wisconsin voting law that requires a witness in order to verify an absentee ballot.
A federal judge ripped into a top Democratic law firm that was attempting to challenge an absentee ballot witness requirement in Wisconsin. 'Normally, the court would begin by searching for other textual clues in the statute. But in this case, the most obvious problem with plaintiffs’ interpretation is that it simply does not make any sense,' U.S.
Many witnesses would be unable to independently verify much of the required information,' Peterson continued. 'The statute allows any adult U.S. citizen to serve as a witness, suggesting that a wide variety of people should be able to do the job… It makes no sense to interpret § 6.87 in a way that would make compliance virtually impossible.
Elias has been sanctioned in past litigation. Yet, other Democrats have continued to hire Elias despite his checkered past,' Turley wrote Saturday. 'Elias unsuccessfully led efforts to challenge Democratic losses. Elias also was the subject of intense criticism after a tweet that some have called inherently racist.' The Elias Law Group did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
