The New York Times is reporting tonight that liberal sugar daddy George Soros has been bankrolling lawsuits challenging newly enacted protections against voter fraud in Ohio and Wisconsin and that he is prepared to spend up to $5 million more to fund additional lawsuits around the country:
Soros bankrolling lawyers to prop up @DNC voter-fraud strategy. Why are Dems so deathly afraid of fair elections? http://t.co/oAawFJuCUA

Surprise. Lawsuit from @CitizenActionWI and @onewisconsinnow funded by George Soros. http://t.co/1F7Nz2qRkJ #Wiright #wipolitics

Interesting enough, Marc Elias, the lawyer behind the lawsuits in Ohio and Wisconsin, is also the general counsel for Hillary’s presidential campaign:

SCOOP: George Soros is funding the two recent voting rights suits in Ohio, Wisc https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr

Soros is prepared to spend $5 mill or more on similar suits https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr

Soros is also funding Elias portion of an NC voting right suit from last year https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2015
For Soros, the suits are the nexus of activism he most prefers – politics, policy and mobilization https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr

Elias approached Soros top hand Michael Vachon about them getting involved in NC last year https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr

The suits would be happening anyway, regardless of Clinton candidacy. Elias/Dems are going on offense re recent laws https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr
— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) June 5, 2015
But there is a clear overlap in the needs of the party and its 2016 frontrunner https://t.co/R6beyX2Fhr

Vachon accuses Rs of claiming virtually "non existent" fraud on voting. http://t.co/RgzDN0kNhi

Of course, the next step would be to ask the candidate herself some questions on the George Soros-Marc Elias-Hillary Clinton campaign axis of litigation, but she’s still not taking questions from the press.
How convenient.
