The June Fundraiser Starts Tomorrow, Early Urgency
Funding was way down in May. We can’t sustain another month like that. Funding has to be a top priority in June. We start tomorrow Saturday the 5th.
This is a challenge we, all of us, must meet if RSN is to remain strong, and we have to meet it now.
RSN needs you.

FOCUS: Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg | State Election Officials Are Under Attack. We Will Defend Them.
Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg, The New York Times
ucked into many of the election laws Republicans are pushing or enacting in states around the country are pernicious provisions threatening punishment of elections officials and workers for just doing their jobs.
Laws like those already passed in Republican-controlled states like Georgia and Iowa, no matter their stated intent, will be used as a weapon of intimidation aimed at the people, many of them volunteers, charged with running fair elections at the local and state levels. By subjecting them to invasive, politically motivated control by a state legislative majority, these provisions shift the last word in elections from the pros to the pols. This is a serious attack on the crucial norm that our elections should be run on a professional, nonpartisan basis — and it is deeply wrong.
It is so wrong that having once worked together across the partisan divide as co-chairs of the 2013-14 Presidential Commission on Election Administration, we have decided to come together again to mobilize the defense of election officials who may come under siege from these new laws.
