I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Proud that my law firm is representing the plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits.

"Since late August, three states — Louisiana, New Hampshire and Wyoming — have approved proof-of-citizenship laws, and voting rights groups have sued over them." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Failure of Texas proof-of-citizenship law is not the end

Legislation requiring Texans to prove they are citizens to register to vote fizzled even as the Republican-backed plan maintains momentum elsewhere in the U.S.
