Democracy Docket

In a fast-tracked order, the Supreme Court let Louisiana move forward with a new congressional map. The move exposes a double standard: the same court that told Black voters in Alabama it was too late to fix an unconstitutional map is now moving fast for white plaintiffs in Louisiana, even as ballots are being cast. Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance break it down.

Democracy Docket is the leading digital news platform covering voting rights and elections in the courts — from an unapologetically pro-democracy and independent standpoint.
Covering election and voting litigation is central to our mission. But today’s battles over democracy — access to voting, gerrymandering, executive overreach, the rule of law and more — also play out in Congress, in the Trump administration and in states around the country. As Trump and his GOP allies work to dismantle our democracy, we’re committed to exposing the threats through in-depth reporting and expert analysis you won't find anywhere else.

WE KNOW THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE ATTACKED VOTING RELENTLESSLY & THERE ARE WELL-FUNDED ORGANIZATIONS WORKING ENDLESSLY TO DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS, PURGE VOTING LISTS, MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT TO VOTE.....
MARC ELIAS authored DEMOCRACY DOCKET and has been challenging GOP DISENFRANCHISMENT - follow his reports and support as you are able.
POSTER COMMENT:
A right wing Chump supporter bought Dominion. That is pretty disheartening.
A fellow poster pointed out to me that DOMINION had been sold (article below).
I began following at a time of BUTTERFLY BALLOTS in FLORIDA and voters complaining that their VOTES on ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES were being changed.
In Massachusetts, Secretary of the Commonwealth Bill Galvin determined DOMINION was appropriate.
I asked questions and challenged the decision.
DOMINION allows VOTERS to complete PAPER
BALLOTS. Their MARKS are then tallied by machine.
I was involved in a RECOUNT and can assure you
that sometimes VOTER INTENT is unclear to a
machine.
Sometimes instead of filling a CIRCLE, they mark
with an X or they go over the line.
There have been numerous RECOUNTS in MASSACHUSETTS because the outcomes are close.
Let's just say the total vote is within a few hundred
votes and it is reasonable to request a RECOUNT.
A PAPER BALLOT PROVES YOUR INTENT!
It was recently commented that:
Did Joseph Stalin Say, 'It's Not the People Who Vote That Count ...'?
One version of a famous quote about those who count the votes determining the outcome of an election is attributed to Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin in his secretary's memoir. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/stalin-vote-count-quote/
My foggy memory seems to recall that CHUCK HAGEL was elected by a VOTING MACHINE belonging to a company he owned.
Analyzing Dominion Voting Systems sale to firm run by ex-Republican elections official
I won't look up the facts/articles, but there were 2 cases in MASSACHUSETTS - one was a man who voted in NEW HAMPSHIRE and MASSACHUSETTS - A REPUBLICAN!
There were cases in FLORIDA in those VILLAGES complexes of people voting for DEAD PEOPLE.
Never expect FLORIDA to enforce statutes.
HERITAGE FOUNDATION maintained a WARPED WEB SITE listing VOTER FRAUD - ignored ALL REPUBLICAN VOTER FRAUD!
MARK MEADOWS, loud, proud screamer about ELECTION FRAUD was registered to vote in
3 STATES - he knows all about VOTER FRAUD.
Officials: Mark Meadows was registered to vote in 3 states
Massachusetts implemented MAIL-IN BALLOTS and voter participation significantly increased which makes great sense. Not only does this accommodate people with disabilities, but lots of people TRAVEL for work.
I shared the LINK with a friend who has 2 sons who travel widely out-of-state for work. Are they supposed to return to Massachusetts to VOTE?
Why should someone have to stand in line to VOTE?
It's also convenient to research a candidate you might not be familiar with.
Massachusetts also has EARLY VOTING.
PUTIN put this issue in Trump's brain...PUTIN who kills, tortures or poisons his opponents and has never won a legitimate election. No wonder TRUMP is envious.
GOP ORGANIZATIONS seek to DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS who can't get to the POLLS.
In GEORGIA, they provided an inadequate number of VOTING MACHINES forcing people to stand in long lines - with NO FOOD!
When arrangements were made to FEED VOTERS STANDING IN LINE, GEORGIA quickly outlawed it.....
Just one more tactic!
What WHITE COMMUNITY would tolerate such abuse?
They're also known to move POLLING PLACES without public notice or provide limited parking.
GEORGIA requires people to travel long distances to REGISTER TO VOTE - limiting hours to do so - only open during business hours, necessitating low wage workers to forfeit a day's pay to do so.
ANYTHING TO DISENFRANCHISE VOTERS...especially NON-WHITE VOTERS!
Surely similar tactics are employed elsewhere without publicity.
Also ignored is the FOX NEWS = FAKE NEWS LIARS who settled with DOMINION for their ELECTION LIES to avoid a TRIAL that would have announced to the WORLD that they LIED.
