.... That's that ding-dong legacy media for you!

On edit: I googled and found out he is the founder of the Democracy Docket, which I have heard of.

According to the New York Times (No Paywall):

Democratic Lawyer Stymied Trump in 2020 Other Efforts Played Into G.O.P. Hands. Marc Elias, hired to help Kamala Harris in election-related fights, helped to pave the way for big money in politics.

"Elias has arguably done more than any single person outside government to shape the Democratic Party and the rules under which all campaigns and elections in the United States are conducted."

So, I guess you and the New York Times are in agreement on this guy's importance.
