JokersUpdates.com: Current Affairs - BREAKING: The lead plaintiff in the case that destroyed the 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.

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.

But social media posts exclusively reviewed by Democracy Docket paint a far more troubling picture of Callais — suggesting a man who harbors a deep distrust of the election system, which he has called “rigged,” and who is steeped in false conspiracy theories about voting. In the days after the Supreme Court’s ruling, a nationally prominent election denier posted a photo of himself shaking hands with Callais, calling him a “hero.”
