She added that the #USPS rule “clashes with #Congress’s statutory scheme, & is #unconstitutional where it intrudes not only on Congress’s #elections clause powers but also that power left to the #states.”

#Trump asked #SCOTUS Thursday to give the #USPS sweeping power to withhold delivery of #MailBallots, setting up an extraordinary showdown over #voting at the high court less than 2 months before the November #midterms.

#SCOTUS majority found the Democratic lawsuit was premature, but that was before the #Trump admin issued a rule governing #USPS delivery of #MailBallots. #Election officials warn it will be impossible to implement in the days before the first wave of mail ballots are sent out next week.

Democratic #states file new lawsuit seeking to block #Trump order limiting #MailVoting in #midterms
The action, filed by about two dozen states against the #USPS, marked a new phase in the high-stakes litigation just 2 days after #SCOTUS ruled against them in a separate case, but did not say Trump’s order was #legal [jackasses].

#JayClayton, the #Trump admin’s nominee for #DNI, faced questions Wednesday on #election security & his commitment to keep the agency free of political interference, during a confirmation hearing that was rescheduled weeks after being abruptly scuttled by Trump [in order to keep #BillPulte in the position].

⚖️ The Supreme Court just ended its term with some of the most consequential rulings in a generation — overturning a 91-year-old precedent on presidential power, protecting the Federal Reserve, upholding mail ballot grace periods, letting the E. Jean Carroll judgment stand, and expanding Fourth Amendment digital privacy rights. All in one day.

When the state loses control of a definition, it rewrites the law. A WA court ruling on voting exposes a long U.S. pattern: power lives in who defines the election. #VotingRights #StatePower #Democracy #ElectionLaw #HorizonAccord

The resignations ushered in new leadership, including Schierkolk, an *activist* with the local affiliate of the #RightWing group Stand Up #Michigan, which also works with a broader network of #ElectionDenial activists.

The state legislator, #MikeMcDonnell, a #Democrat turned #Republican from Omaha, #Nebraska said that he would not agree to change NE’s 32-yr tradition of awarding 3 of the state’s 5 electoral votes by congressional district to a #WinnerTakeAll system based on the statewide popular vote, bucking calls from NE’s governor & its congressional delegation to help #Trump.

Key #Nebraska #Republican Rejects #Trump’s Push to Shake Up #ElectoralMap
#MikeMcDonnell, a state senator, said he would not support an effort to change the state’s electoral system to #WinnerTakeAll, an outcome that could have cost #KamalaHarris an electoral vote.
The NE senator who #Republicans hoped would help ease Trump’s path to the WH by agreeing to change how the state allocates its #ElectoralCollege votes said on Mon that he would not do so.

But ever since President #Biden's inauguration, #conservative activists & policymakers in #Georgia have tried to bypass #Raffensperger & worked diligently to turn Trump's heads-I-win-tails-you-lose philosophy of #elections into public #policy.
As #Trump has continued to lie that the #2020election was "stolen" & "rigged", Trump & his supporters have been making concrete, step-by-step progress in shaping electoral processes to his benefit.
