Tom Fitton is the head of the right-wing legal group Judicial Watch .
Since the Trump era, Fitton and his organization have amplified their efforts on attacking voting rights.
Fitton became a source for much of the election misinformation he parrotted on both the 2016 and 2020 campaign trails.
Judicial Watch was founded by right-wing lawyer Larry Klayman in 1994 .
The group's meteoric rise came from the dozens of lawsuits it filed against the Clinton administration.
In early 2016 , the group sued over a FOIA request for emails from Clinton during her time as Secretary of State , which led to some of the most vicious political attacks against her during the 2016 election.
The lawsuit accused five counties of having too many registered voters on its registration rolls and not following maintenance procedures to remove ineligible voters.
Eventually, the state and county defendants agreed to a settlement with Judicial Watch to dismiss the lawsuit.
“The settlement agreement just basically came down to say that the counties are doing their ordinary list maintenance work and they’re doing it properly,” Common Cause PA’s executive director said.
