Read this thread, and realize that this is just *one state.*
Then imagine what the scale of this suppression program looks like nationwide.
The GOP wants to keep the federal government out of elections because they are bigger than any single state, and can flood them like this.

FTR, I am *not* suggesting the federal government should run or manage elections in states.
But I do believe we need:
1) Federal laws against common electoral dirty tricks
2) Federal guidelines on technology
3) Recognition that national threats require national responses

“Jenna Ellis’ affiliation with [Amistad Project] — as well as other links [...] — suggest a coordinated effort to flood the nation’s courts with repetitive litigation that allows the president to claim the election results remain contested.”

“The first glimpse of the Amistad Project came late this summer, when the new legal outfit popped up in courts across the country, trying to stop county election officials from taking grants to bolster their operations amid the pandemic.”
Amistad attorneys also drew up a draft complaint to file jointly with the president’s campaign in Michigan
[...]
Ian Northon, an Amistad attorney named on the brief, told The Washington Post that there was no such joint effort and that the draft was posted by mistake.

Article is worthwhile.
The Thomas More society, which started Amistad, was founded by anti-abortion/contraception crusading attorneys.
After questions from the Post, they scrubbed affiliations from their site, and insist they aren’t with the campaign.

“The suits were filed on behalf of purported grass-roots groups with names such as the Pennsylvania Voters Alliance and the Wisconsin Voters Alliance, as well as similar incarnations in Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, South Carolina and Texas.”
In other words, more shell companies.

“[Erick] Kaardal [...] is representing Amistad in its challenges of the election in [AZ, GA, and WI]. He has also co-authored a series of self-published books advocating a “Christian neopopulist” agenda and endorsing the president’s assault on the media and other institutions.”
Like Barr, Kaardal wants to “engage in an unrelenting attack” on secularism.
He calls for modifying the constitution to block immigrants, to limit those who don’t practice Jewish or Christian religions to 10% of the population.
He also represented Kanye’s WI ballot attempt.

Kaardal’s 2013 book calls for individuals to sow discord in society in a “neopopulist” ideological war, the result of which would be replacing the constitution, and allowing orthodox Christianity to “emerge as the dominant force.”

Back to the WaPo article, now we can understand how Jenna Ellis became involved in all of this.
In addition to joining Thomas More, she is a member of a Liberty University think tank (the Falkirk Center), and is based out of Mark Serrano’s PR firm, ProActive Communications.

There is much more in the article - excellent reporting by @jonswaine, @PostRoz, @jdawsey1, and @thamburger.
In addition to exposing some of the actors and connections behind these lawsuits, it helps us further confirm the unified, nationwide *lawfare* that is being waged.

Oh, almost forgot about this.
Jenna Ellis also made an appearance on Russian state media in July.
She was the first Trump campaign associate to do so since the 2016 election.
