==Ethics sanctions==
''The Washington Examiner'' reported that Elias and his associates were sanctioned by Texas federal appeals judges for a “redundant and misleading submission” and for violating his ethical “duty of candor” to the court in a case in which the Democratic Party was fighting against a state law that banned straight-ticket voting. Elias and the lawyers were ordered to pay attorneys' fees and double costs, and the judges recommended Elias and his colleagues to review the section of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct on “Candor Toward the Tribunal” and encouraged them to “complete one hour of Continuing Legal Education in the area of Ethics and Professionalism, specifically candor with the court.”<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/democratic-texas-lawmaker-steele-dossier-appeals</ref>
Texas [[Attorney General]] [[Ken Paxton]] said, “Perkins Coie cannot continue to mislead the Court, especially in a matter as important as [[election integrity]].”<ref>https://www.texasattorneygeneral.gov/news/releases/ag-paxton-fifth-circuit-issues-sanctions-against-perkins-coie</ref> A federal appeals court refused to reverse the sanctions.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/judges-deny-democratic-lawyer-marc-eliass-bid-to-shake-court-sanctions</ref>
