Four nonprofits run by or linked to this network of lawyers – the @PILFoundation, the @The_ACRU , @JudicialWatch and @TrueTheVote - have been involved in at least 61 lawsuits over election rules since 2012, according to a @Reuters examination.
@PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams @ElectionLawCtr said his work does not target legitimate voters, but tries to reform poorly run election offices and identify people who shouldn’t be on the voting rolls.
“The @GOP gets it now,” @PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams wrote in an email. “And that isn’t going to change even after Trump. Republicans are no longer wimps when it comes to fighting election fraud and vulnerabilities.”
@Reuters
Adams appeared before @JudiciaryGOP to argue against expanded mail balloting in the pandemic. He cited [data] from the @EACgov showing 28 million mail ballots were “unaccounted for” since 2012. Adams called it “28 million opportunities to cheat.” reut.rs/3m4V5No
“That implies the system is screwed up,” @PILFoundation's J. Christian Adams @ElectionLawCtr wrote in an email to Reuters. “Why would that be controversial?”
@HvonSpakovsky told @Reuters it was “false” and “defamatory” to claim the conservative lawyers’ work was motivated by a desire to make it harder for minorities to vote.
What is evident is that fear of voter fraud has gone mainstream. More than half of registered voters believe that #ElectionFraud is a widespread problem.
“We’re trying to defend the right of every citizen to be able to vote without worrying that their voice will be diluted by illegal votes,”@PILFoundation's @cletamitchel.
@790KFGO@Reuters @PILFoundation's opponents have intervened in courts to stop many of the efforts to have names struck from the voter rolls.
“That implies the system is screwed up,” Adams wrote in an email to Reuters. “Why would that be controversial?” bit.ly/3mb9Y0X

The legal challenge was filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation .@PILFoundation, who called the decision a big win for the rule of law (via .@DailyCaller):
The @vaELECT rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.
.@townhallcom #Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state’s late #MailBallot law violated state statute and permanently banned the law in future Virginia elections, the .@PILFoundation (PILF) announced.

“We have been collecting over the years non-citizen maintenance data [for state #VoterRegistration rolls], and here’s how it works.”
RIGGED ELECTION: TX 'Ballot Chaser' Illegally Pressures Voters To Change... via @YouTube
#Texas
“Many continue to claim that there’s no such thing as #ElectionFraud. We’ve always known that such a claim is false and misleading, and today we have additional hard evidence." .@KenPaxtonTX
'Ballot Chaser' Illegally Pressures Voters To Change...
This is a victory for #ElectionIntegrity and a strong signal that anyone who attempts to defraud the people of Texas, deprive them of their vote, or undermine the integrity of elections will be brought to justice. .@KenPaxtonTX

Full statement from @ElectionLawCtr / PILF regarding the rioting at the U.S. Capitol
“All violence and trespassing at the U.S. Capitol must cease and law enforcement authority should use all appropriate means to quell the lawlessness. .@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
"Rioters demanding ‘#Electionntegrity’ have in some cases been misled by individuals who know very little about election administration.".@PILFoundation President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams .@ElectionLawCtr
[#ElectionManipulation] has always been high on the list of Democratic party priorities. That is why you saw HR1, which would make everything you saw in this election legal.
