Plantiff in Voting Rights Act Case Exposed as Jan 6er

Democracy Docket reports that Phillip "Bert" Callais, the lead plaintiff in Louisiana v. Callais, has long claimed U.S. elections are rigged on social media. Callais posted photos and video from the scene at the infamous "Stop the Steal" protest prior to the 2021 Capitol riot, and his Facebook page is full of MAGA and right-wing content, including attacks on vaccines and anything to the left of President Trump.

More: It's a sharp contrast to the original legal complaint that ultimately reached the Supreme Court. Callais is described there as a "non"African American voter" from Brusly, Louisiana, whose congressional district changed after his state redrew its districts. Callais also said that he was a member of a local board of supervisors in 2024.

In reality, Callais seems to be a partisan activist steeped in the right's conspiracy theories regarding elections. On X, he commented on an Elon Musk post in December 2025, writing, "This is f#king insane, non citizens voting in our country." In February of this year, he expressed doubt in election security, and in January, he called the voting system "manipulated," touting hand-counted paper ballots as a solution.

Callais also dismissed concerns about how eliminating mail-in voting would hurt disabled or elderly voters, posting in February, "Find someone to haul you to the polls. Don't let your disability put the rest of the country at risk."
