President Joe Biden's pick to serve on the Federal Election Commission is representing Stacey Abrams's nonprofit and Raphael Warnock's church in a lawsuit that challenged the validity of Georgia's 2018 election due in part to the state's use of "Unreliable" electronic voting machines.
In November 2018, election lawyer Dara Lindenbaum signed on to a federal legal complaint on behalf of Abrams's Fair Fight Action.
According to the complaint, the state of Georgia "Grossly mismanaged" the election by depriving "Georgia citizens, and particularly citizens of color, of their fundamental right to vote." As a result, the complaint said, Georgia's election "Violated the First, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution." The complaint also lamented the use of "Insecure and unreliable" electronic voting machines that "Lack a paper trail" and thus "Cannot be audited"-those machines even "Switched" votes from Abrams to Kemp, according to the complaint.
Roughly three years after Lindenbaum signed the original complaint, Biden nominated the attorney to serve on the FEC, a regulatory agency that helps shape U.S. election rules.
"Undermining our election system is a serious problem, and we see the receipts of her deliberately trying to undermine our election process with spurious claims," Snead said of Lindenbaum.
Abrams lost that race to Kemp by roughly 2 points, but she never conceded her defeat, instead saying the election was "Stolen" due to "Voter suppression." In the aftermath of her loss, Abrams launched Fair Fight Action, a nonprofit that says it is "Leading the charge to protect voting rights." Fair Fight's website touts the group's "Historic civil rights lawsuit in federal court challenging the gross mismanagement of the 2018 election that discouraged and disenfranchised voters." Lindenbaum still serves as legal counsel to Fair Fight Action and the group's political arm, Fair Fight PAC, her Office of Government Ethics disclosure shows.
In early January-just weeks before he nominated Lidenbaum-Biden said Trump "Created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election" because "He sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest." Still, just days later, Biden himself suggested the 2022 midterms could be illegitimate if Democrats fail to pass election reform legislation.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
