Marc Elias, a former lawyer for the Clinton campaign and a Democratic National Committee (DNC) representative focused on election integrity, sent a letter to the administration of Virginia's Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, on Monday threatening a lawsuit if independent candidate Cornel West remains on the ballot in November's election.

The letter, first obtained by The Daily Caller, calls on Virginia State Board of Elections Chairman O'Bannon, Virginia State Board of Elections Commissioner Susan J. Beals, Virginia Secretary of State Lynn McDermid and members of the Board of Elections to “immediately” remove O'Bannon from the state's electoral rolls.

“We, on behalf of Clear Choice Action, are writing this letter regarding the last-minute decision by the Department of Elections and the Board of Elections (collectively, the “Department of Elections”) to run Dr. Cornel West as Virginia's presidential candidate in the November 5, 2024 general election. The Department of Elections violated the law in running Dr. West and must immediately reverse its decision,” the letter alleges.

West was disqualified from voting, and his campaign sent a formal request to the Election Commission asking for reconsideration. The Election Commission reconsidered and reversed its previous decision. letter Opposition to West's campaign has been mounting, and now Elias' law firm is threatening to sue in an effort to keep West off the ballot.

Other candidates on the ballot include former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris, Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver, independent candidate Claudia de la Cruz and Green Party candidate Jill Stein of Virginia.

“If the Department refuses to take the requested action, we reserve the right to pursue all legal remedies against the Department, including lawsuits seeking injunctions and enforcement orders to compel compliance with the law,” the letter continues.

“We've got another racist lawsuit threat from Marc Elias. With this latest lawsuit against Virginia, Elias is hypocritically following Kamala Harris' bidding to block her rival and intimidate a state that is doing the honorable work to protect its citizens' right to vote. These scare tactics are ineffective, and the Fair Elections Fund stands with states like Virginia that are protecting the right to vote from partisan hacks like Marc Elias,” Collins told the Caller.

“In the coming days, Elias' Jim Crow 2.0 plan will be made fully clear to all Virginians. Please tune in,” Collins added. (RELATED: Exclusive: RFK Jr. intends to remove his name from Virginia's ballot)
