Exclusive: Bert Callais, lead plaintiff in case that gutted Voting Rights Act, is an election conspiracist who was at Jan. 6 protest

The lead plaintiff in the case that destroyed the Voting Rights Act (VRA) has a history of promoting false election conspiracies and anti-voting policies, and was at the Stop the Steal protest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, before a deadly riot by pro-Trump insurrectionists.

In the original complaint in the case that became Louisiana v. Callais, Phillip “Bert” Callais was described simply as a “non-African American voter” from Brusly, Louisiana, whose congressional district changed after the state redrew its map. Callais, a veteran who lives near Baton Rouge, said in 2024 he was a member of his local board of supervisors.

Snip

“This is f#€king insane, non citizens voting in our country,” Callais wrote in one re-post of an Elon Musk post that promoted a widely debunked conspiracy theory about noncitizen voting.

End snips

And also Sammy Alito used fudged data to write his majority con job.

So, gutting the VRA was based on the conspiracy theories of a J6er and faulty data of a political actor performing as a SCrOTUS judge.

Got it.

1. Why can't The Va Governor borrow a page from the GOP and declare a State Of Emergency

and use it to justify going with the redistricting. I know it has no legal merit but come on, Trump and the Republicans use it all the time and just barge ahead with whatever they want to do. And they get away with it. If it works for them....
