  1. It would be nice if we could focus on important things with our US government, like health and education or maybe the fact that half of North America is on fire. But…. the GOP, instead of apologizing for trying to overthrow democracy in America, have doubled-down and fully support their members who were indicted. You cannot ever support any GOP candidate. I don’t say this lightly, but the GOP are treasonous and represent corruption.
    “Something has gone tragically wrong in the GOP. At this pace, CPAC will need to hold its next convention in a prison yard. The Federalist Society may soon have to create a category of membership for the disbarred and criminally convicted.”

    Remember: about 35% of Americans actually *admire* Donald Trump.
    But what about the other 65% of Americans?
    2024 is a referendum on America’s character.
    The outcome won’t depend on issues, facts, or party affiliation.
    The outcome will depend on the voters’ knowledge, the voters’ character, and voter turnout.

    In order to get elected, the GOP relies on wedge issues like guns and abortion. They also rely on voter suppression and gerrymandering. Otherwise the GOP could not win national elections.

  12. On Monday, a judge ruled against Kari Lake's last claim in a misguided attempt to overturn the 2022 election for Governor. This follows a three-day trial which began with Lake's own eyewitness confirming that signature verifications were being performed, which kind of wrecked the whole case.

    Today, defendants get to argue that Lake should pay for their costs to defend against this conspiracy-theory-fueled nonsense. Lake has only until 5 PM on Wednesday to argue against any such charges.

    Interim Ruling (PDF) from "AZ Law": s3.documentcloud.org/documents

    Other updates from May concerning Kari Lake from "AZ Law": arizonaslaw.blogspot.com/2023/

    Coverage of day one of the trial gives a hint on the direction of the case: democracydocket.com/news-alert

    ❝The court heard from other witnesses including two members of a fringe political action group ... they discussed a 24/7 livestream of the signature verification process, which Lake has to prove did not occur for her claims to be successful in court.

  15. Looking Back at the People and Groups Who Tried to Disenfranchise Voters

    — Matt Cohen

    Throughout 2024, I spent a bulk of my time at Democracy Docket investigating the people and groups who tried to disenfranchise voters.

    Countless hours of digging through nonprofit tax filings,
    old press clippings and interviews
    with dozens of various sources helped me produce more than a handful of deep dives on people like #Harmeet #Dhillon
    — who Trump picked as assistant attorney general for civil rights
    — and groups like the "Public Interest Legal Foundation" ( #PILF ) who’ve worked hard to manipulate the courts in order to suppress voting rights.

    Looking back at seven features I wrote in 2024
    — zeroing in on Dhillon and PILF,
    along with groups like the "Arizona Free Enterprise Club",
    "United Sovereign Americans",
    "Judicial Watch",
    "America First Legal"
    and the "America First Policy Institute"
    — they outline exactly how the incoming Trump administration will work to roll back voting rights:

    weaponizing disinformation about rampant voter fraud and noncitizen voting -- to implement new rules and regulations for who can vote,
    how and when.

    The result will, inevitably, make it harder for millions of eligible voters to go to the polls.

    ⭐️But the best weapon to prevent this from happening is knowledge.

    By continuing to report on various people and groups on the right and their efforts to disenfranchise voters,
    it makes it harder for them to carry it out.

    And so you can count on more from me doing just that in 2025.

  16. In just the first six weeks of 2024, Republicans and their allies have filed ten lawsuits aimed at making voting more difficult and elections less secure.

    These are not routine challenges to particular aspects of election administration.
    Collectively, they are breathtaking in their audacity – seeking to curtail the right to vote and undermining the impartial role of election administrators.
    If successful, they risk overturning the will of the voters in 2024.

    Five of those legal challenges have been filed in Arizona.
    These five come on top of seven anti-voting lawsuits filed in 2023, when Arizona was the state most targeted by right-wing litigation in the entire country.
    Most troubling are three new cases targeting the state’s Election Procedure Manual (EPM). The EPM is the election official’s bible, which spells out in detail precisely how elections are to be conducted.
    Together these three lawsuits target more than a dozen specific EPM provisions that are critical to Arizona holding free and fair elections in 2024.
    If successful, the cases would force the secretary of state to defy court orders and potentially throw out the EPM in its entirety.
    Among the specific provisions being challenged are those that:
    • Make it easier for citizens to register to vote and cast their ballots by mail,
    • Limit the ability to challenge voters and their ballots,
    • Empower counties to prohibit intimidating conduct inside and outside the polling place,
    • Allow voters to access ballot drop-off locations free from “obstruction or harassment” and
    • Clarify that canvassing elections is a non-discretionary duty so that counties cannot arbitrarily reject election returns.

    If the GOP and its allies prevail, Arizonans will find voting more difficult and face a system  that subjects them to unwanted challenges and harassment.
    Election vigilantes will have carte blanche to execute voter intimidation at a scale unimaginable in recent years.
    County election deniers will be empowered to throw out election results that don’t favor the GOP or comport with their “Big Lie” conspiracies.
    These lawsuits are the last desperate gasp of a political party that knows it cannot win free and fair elections.
    They are also a warning sign of what is in store in Arizona and elsewhere as we get closer to Election Day

  22. UAW Statement in Solidarity with the Fight for Justice in Minnesota

    The UAW stands in solidarity with the people of Minnesota, including hundreds of UAW members, who are standing up and fighting back against the federal government’s abuses and attacks on the working class.

    The UAW stands for freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and human dignity no matter where you were born, what language you speak, or the color of your skin. We will not tolerate a government that attacks working class people’s constitutional and human rights.

    It is the working class that makes society run, and it is the working class that can shut it down if need be. On January 23rd, working class people will demonstrate that power in Minnesota, and the UAW has their back.

  28. And what is independent media good for? The reason to support it is because you're hoping to get the truth. #Democracy #Docket does a good job of it. So does #MissKitty. We are all #media now. Think like that and you'll get better information.

  29. Was watching Democracy Docket, w smart guests. Two things:
    1) The #Callais decision is for minority representation what the #DredScott decision was for citizenship & due process (so #Congress passed the 14th, 15th #Amendments). The fix here is a slog.
    2) Marc Elias predicts GOP attacking white districts if represented by a minority. They'll claim that SCOTUS has backed them up, which is true.

  30. The origin story of the proposed executive order is murky, but it appears to trace back to a network of pro-Trump activists who have spent years pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.

    One of them is
    #Peter #Ticktin, a Florida lawyer who has known Trump since the two attended the New York Military Academy as teenagers.

    Ticktin represented his former classmate in a 2022 civil suit accusing Hillary Clinton and others of conspiring to smear Trump with claims that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia.

    A federal judge later dismissed the suit and sanctioned Trump’s attorneys
    —including Ticktin
    —finding that the suit amounted to the “deliberate use of the judicial system to pursue a political agenda.”

    Ticktin currently represents #Tina #Peters, the former Colorado elections clerk who was sentenced to nine years in prison for her role in a 2021 breach of her office’s voting machines.

    In an interview, Ticktin told us he wrote what he described as a “precursor” to the 17-page draft executive order that has been circulating since April of last year.

    “I'm not sure exactly who prepared this one,” he said of the version dated April 12,
    which he provided to Democracy Docket last month.

    But Ticktin said he believed the April 12 version of the draft order was “really well done”
    —well done enough that he emailed it to the president.

    Ticktin said his outreach to government officials about the draft executive order also extended to #Kurt #Olsen, the White House director of “election security and integrity.”

    Olsen, an attorney, represented Texas in its unsuccessful post-2020 suit to overturn Trump’s loss.

    He was later sanctioned by a federal judge for advancing “false, misleading and unsupported factual assertions” in Kari Lake’s failed bid to challenge her 2022 gubernatorial loss in Arizona.

    Now, as a White House official, Olsen has reportedly been tasked with leading a probe to reexamine the 2020 race.

    Last month, an unsealed FBI search warrant affidavit revealed that a criminal inquiry into election irregularities in Fulton County began with a referral from Olsen.

    According to Ticktin, others involved with the effort surrounding the draft order include #Michael #Flynn, the former national security adviser who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI before receiving a sweeping pardon from Trump in December 2020;

    #Patrick #Byrne, the former Overstock.com CEO and prominent election skeptic;

    and #Stefanie #Lambert, an attorney who is awaiting trial in Michigan over allegations that she illegally accessed voting tabulators in an attempt to prove that the 2020 election was stolen.

    Both Flynn and Byrne have repeatedly and publicly advocated for Trump to declare a national emergency ahead of the upcoming election.

    Authorship of the April 12 draft is difficult to pin down,
    but several figures connected to the election-denial movement say they had a hand in shaping it.

    A key figure is "#Juan O. #Savin",
    the nom de plume of #Wayne #Willott, a private investigator turned QAnon influencer who has cultivated a significant following in far-right conspiracy circles.

    Savin is perhaps best known among QAnon followers as the subject of a theory that he is actually John F. Kennedy Jr.
    —who died in a plane crash in 1999
    —living under an assumed identity.

    Beyond his QAnon celebrity, however, Savin has formed notable political connections:

    In 2021, he co-founded the "America First Secretary of State Coalition", which worked to place election-denying candidates in charge of state elections in key swing states.

    The coalition received significant funding from "The America Project",
    the organization co-founded by Flynn and Byrne.

    In a recent appearance on the right-wing program "Nino’s Corner", Savin said he reviewed an early version of the executive order during Trump’s re-election campaign in the summer of 2024.

    Finding that version “inadequate,” he assembled a coalition of “legal minds” and “election experts”
    to formulate a new version of the proposed order.

    According to Savin, the group met for several days in Washington, D.C. shortly after the inauguration.

    Over the following months, he said, the coalition produced approximately 13 drafts before arriving at the 17-page version circulated that spring.

    The page count may not be coincidental:
    Within QAnon lore, the number 17 carries symbolic meaning,
    because “Q” is the 17th letter of the alphabet,
    and believers often treat the number as a coded signal.
