Tr*mp’s DOJ is building a voter purge machine #dontgetpurged
"The danger is once you compile all this information, then hackers only have to go to one place instead of going to all 50-plus jurisdictions that run elections... It’s a hacker’s dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere..."

Today, the DOJ sued Colorado for access to its complete voter roll. This marks the 15th state sued over private voter info, 13 of which are led by Democrats. My colleague @ariberman.bsky.social and I published a big piece last week about why this should scare you. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Can’t overstate importance of Republican supermajority Indiana state senate rejecting Trump’s 9-0 mid-decade gerrymander. Huge defeat of Trump’s attempt to rig midterms & his use of threats & intimidation to force Republican state legislators to bend to his will www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

DOJ has sued Maine, Oregon, California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Washington, Delaware, Maryland, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont for access to its most sensitive voter data.

My firm has moved to intervene in 10 of those cases. We are working on the last 4.

The GA GOP isn't planning new maps. Yet. "Redrawing district lines in Georgia could make some Republican seats in the closely divided state competitive. And any changes could be preempted by a pending [SCOTUS] decision on the Voting Rights Act."

Georgia isn’t redrawing districts despite Trump’s push. At least for now.
Georgia's Republican leaders say they will wait until the U.S. Supreme Court's Voting Rights Act ruling before deciding whether to redraw congressional maps.

Two months ago I wrote about why my law firm is litigating 63 voting and election cases. Today it is 65 cases covering more than half the country. Eleven of them involve redistricting.

Where are the big law firms? Why isn't legacy media covering this? www.democracydocket.com/opinion/why-...

There’s an important election happening this week in Tennessee. MAGA is fearful that flipping the 7th District seat could shrink their House majority to a zero-vote margin.

This is a really strong piece by @mjsdc.bsky.social on how Trump's DOJ really messed up in how they tried to finagle Texas's re-redistricting. And now that measure was put on hold by a federal district court. A mess in Texas!
Trump appointed Harmeet Dhillon to the Justice Department so she could own the libs and sue DEI out of existence. But she is a bad lawyer! And her utter incompetence is the main reason why a conservative Trump judge just struck down the racist Texas gerrymander. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Don't mess with Texas. #dontgetpurged
Today we won a big victory in Texas but the fight for democracy is not over. We all need to steel ourselves for the battles ahead. We won't win them all, but we can never lose sight of what we need to do to prepare fee and fair elections.

🗳️ELECTION:
NJ Gov

🚨WHY IT MATTERS
Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill could beat out Trump-endorsed Republican Jack Ciattarelli and secure a win for the future of free elections in New Jersey.

The race will also reflect voter sentiment nine months into Trump’s authoritarian push.

🗳️ELECTION:
VA AG

🚨WHY IT MATTERS
Republican incumbent Jason Miyares’ position as AG is up for grabs. After Democrats announced plans to redistrict to counter GOP gerrymanders, Miyares argued against it. If reelected, he could continue to throw roadblocks in the plan’s path.

🗳️ELECTION:
VA House

🚨WHY IT MATTERS
Democrats hold a narrow edge in the House, but all 100 seats are on the ballot today. Maintaining control will have huge implications for voting rights, as Democratic lawmakers work to counter Trump’s gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🗳️ELECTION:
CA Prop 50

🚨WHY IT MATTERS
Voters will decide on California Democrats’ Prop 50. The measure would give the state the go-ahead to temporarily adopt a new congressional map that could help counter GOP gerrymanders for the 2026 election.

🗳️ELECTION:

🚨WHY IT MATTERS
Voters will consider whether to adopt a GOP-backed measure called Voter ID For ME. If passed, it would restrict access to mail in ballots — especially for voters who are elderly, poor or live with disabilities.

Democrats currently hold a 5-2 majority on the state Supreme Court — three of those judges are up for retention. If Republicans flip control, they could erode protections for fair elections in the state.
