Russia Hoaxer Marc Elias (PERKINS COIE) Loses Bid To Allow Foreign Interference In Kansas Ballot Issues
Elias sued the state of Kansas after legislators there enacted a law to stop foreigners from financing state ballot initiatives or opposition to ballot initiatives. His law firm represented Kansans for Constitutional Freedom (KCF), a pro-abortion group involved in drumming up opposition to the state’s 2022 ballot initiative affirming that killing unborn children was not a right found in the state’s constitution (contra a state Supreme Court ruling).
KCF took in about $1.6 million in funding tied to foreigners during the 2022 abortion campaign, all of which came from the Sixteen Thirty Fund, which is based in Washington, D.C.. Sixteen Thirty has its tentacles all over left-wing funding and is administered by Arabella Advisors, which is chief among the left-wing dark money distributors in American politics.
It is supported by Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, who has contributed around $280 million to the fund over multiple years.
