George Soros Backing Stein's Recount Scam

by Stephen Lendman

International con man Soros-connected attorney Marc Alias represents Hillary and the DNC. Earlier The NYT reported "Soros…agree(ing) to put as much as $5 million into (lawsuits) which Democrats hope will erode restrictions on voter access…"

Alias is leading the litigation. Soros said he's "proud" to be part of it, according to The Times. Last summer, the Washington Post profiled Alias, calling him "a Democratic superlawyer with multimillion-dollar backing," saying:

"With a multimillion-dollar commitment from liberal mega-donor George Soros, Elias is challenging laws that, he argues, diminish the impact of important Democratic Party constituencies of African Americans, Latinos and young people."

"While Elias will not discuss the funding for his project, Soros's spokesman Michael Vachon said Elias approached them with a set of proposals for challenging state restrictions that would be helpful 'up and down the ballot.' "

"That was appealing to Soros, who began his political giving with voter mobilization efforts, Vachon said. And they agreed with Elias that there was work to be done beyond what the civil rights groups, to which Soros also contributes, were doing."

"Soros has given $5 million to the trust that funds the litigation, Vachon said, and Elias said he has picked his shots with an eye toward 'protecting the Obama coalition' of African Americans, Latinos and young people."

A previous article discussed a group led by voting rights attorney John Bonifax and University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society director J. Alex Halderman, calling for recounts in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states Trump won, alleging "manipulat(ion) or hack(ing)" despite no evidence proving it.

Bonifax is founder and general counsel for the National Voting Rights Institute (NVRI), web site documents showing "generous foundation and institutional support," including from Soros' Open Society Institute.

Is Stein wittingly or unwittingly in bed with international con man Soros? Either way shows her alleged progressivism is phony - a scam despicably betraying supporters.

Note: On November 27, former congresswoman, 2008 Green Party presidential candidate, true progressive, valued ally and friend Cynthia McKinney tweeted:

"I never thought I'd see the day: Green Party standard bearer standing shoulder to shoulder with a war criminal…"
