Tammy Baldwin is Using Election Interference King Marc Elias to Interfere in the 2024 Election
Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin is using the nation’s most infamous election interference lawyer to try to censor truthful information about her – thus interfering in the 2024 election.
Baldwin is hiding behind Marc Elias’s law firm, which tried unsuccessfully to convince TV stations to stop airing a truthful TV ad challenging her ultra-liberal record.
The current ad being run by Restoration PAC points out Baldwin’s support for legislation that is taking savings from deficit hemorrhaging Medicare and transferring it to pay for expensive EV subsidies instead of keeping the money in Medicare to help seniors.
TV stations across Wisconsin resisted Elias’ attempt to censor the ad. Despite the efforts of his law firm, Restoration PAC’s ad campaign remains on the air. The content of the ad campaign and accompanying website points out that Baldwin is a Senator who serves only the liberal interests in Madison rather than the entirety of Wisconsin.
Perhaps no lawyer in America is more responsible for election interference than Elias. As campaign lawyer for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee in 2016, he was an integral player in the funding of the infamous Steele Dossier, a collection of unverified sketchy rumors that were passed on and used by the DOJ and FBI to conduct investigations of Donald Trump for allegedly colluding with Russia. The allegations were proved baseless by the investigations but the phony information, amplified by a corrupt corporate media, stifled Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign and eventual term in office.
Not only was Elias behind spreading the false information, he lied about it to reporters. He at first insisted the Clinton campaign was not behind the dossier. Those assertions were later shown to be false.
The Federalist Editor-In-Chief Mollie Hemingway, in her stellar book Rigged, described the lies:
What’s more, Elias lied about his role in creating the dossier. New York Times reporter Ken Vogel said when he tried to report the story on DNC’s involvement, Elias pushed back vigorously, saying “you or your sources are wrong.” New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman agreed: “Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year,” she tweeted.
The book further describes Elias sitting silent behind Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta when he was testifying in Congress. Podesta denied any knowledge of campaign funding for the dossier. Elias didn’t correct the lie.
Elias was not criminally charged for his dossier deceptions, but the FEC fined the DNC and the Clinton campaign for their conduct in hiding the dossier funding.

More recently, Elias was the election lawyer behind a torrent of litigation in 2020 resulting in dramatic loosening of election integrity safeguards, using COVID as an excuse. Across the swing states, mail-in ballots were allowed to be counted without signature verification, to be dropped in unsecured voter drop boxes, and counted well after election day. Many of these changes were made because of Elias legal pressure.
Elias’ law firm is at it again in 2024. He was recently scoffed at by an Obama-appointed judge for trying to strip away the witness requirement for absentee ballots in Wisconsin.
This is how U.S. District James Peterson, chief judge of the Western District of Wisconsin, described the Elias law firm’s argument:
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.
Because of Elias’ efforts and those of other Democrats, Americans have come to distrust the integrity of elections. A recent poll said most Americans suspect cheating and another poll revealed 20 percent of citizens admitted committing mail-in ballot fraud.
Despite Elias’ record of election interference, Democrats keep hiring him. In the recent Baldwin example, Elias’ law firm is representing the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. He also allegedly represents Democrats in the House and state legislative groups.
Tammy Baldwin, who has caterwauled about partisan elections, apparently has no problem with using the most partisan of partisans Elias to advance her interests. Does she want to stop election interference or spread it? Maybe if there’s anyone left in the media, they might ask her.
