On October 4, 2022, Elias Law Group partner Abha Khanna argued on behalf of the Caster respondents in Allen v. Milligan, a landmark United States Supreme Court case related to redistricting under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA). In a 5-4 decision, the Court ruled that Alabama's districts likely violated the VRA, maintained an injunction that required Alabama to create an additional majority-minority district, and held that Section 2 of the VRA is constitutional in the redistricting context.


In November 2022, Elias Law Group represented U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock during the runoff election, winning a lawsuit^[6] that allowed counties to offer early voting on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.


Following the 2022 midterm election in Arizona, Elias Law Group represented Governor Katie Hobbs after defeated Republican candidate Kari Lake contested the election results.^[7]


Elias Law Group represented plaintiffs in Moore v. Harper, a landmark case in which the United States Supreme Court ruled that the Elections Clause does not give state legislatures sole power over elections, rejecting the independent state legislature theory.
