  1. Talwani wrote in her ruling, “Plaintiff #states have neither time nor funds to design new #MailBallots, seek approval of the new designs, order production of mail ballots, update their own election management systems, train election officials to use the #USPS portal & upload citizen data to the portal, all before the #midterms.”

  2. It goes without saying that the democratic system in the United States (and many other western nations for that matter) needs a complete overhaul. Too much corruption in these systems and change is needed now more than ever

  3. A Maryland judge blocked a Democratic-backed redistricting amendment from November's ballot, citing misleading wording and procedural problems. Gerrymandering remains America's least charming geometry lesson. #VotingRights

  4. Norm Eisen filed a new lawsuit to stop the United States Postal Service rule about mail ballots. His lawsuit is allowed under the recent Supreme Court decision.

    Fun fact: Norm Eisen was a student in the same Harvard Law School class as Barack Obama.

  6. #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.

    Dear Senator / Representative -

    I need you to take immediate action regarding the US Postal Service and their new rule regarding mail-in voting. I want you visiting Republican leaning areas of the state and doing a lot of very vocal and visible outreach on this issue.

    The conduct of federal elections resides entirely with the states. There is no Constitutional or legal authority that give the postal service any say in how states run their elections.

    The Supreme Court left open a rule with an impossible deadline, requiring a new design for ballot envelopes less than 10 weeks before the general election. There are only a handful of printers certified to print ballots and envelopes in the US, and they get their orders months in advance. By law, every state mails ballots to military and overseas voters 45 days before the election, which is Friday, September 18. Even if this executive order wa constitutional, which it is not, this is a physical impossibility.

    Make it clear that these attempts to hijack the Constitution will not stand. I need you in the media every day pushing back on the plans of this Republican Administration to insert themselves in the election process.

    The Constitution is clear on who runs elections.

  9. SCOTUS OPENS THE DOOR TO TRUMP’S MAIL-VOTING RESTRICTIONS

    SCOTUS just cleared a path for Trump’s mail-voting restrictions before the midterms, 6-3. Nothing screams confidence in your agenda like rewriting the rules while voters are already checking their calendars. #VotingRights

  10. September 1 is the mailing deadline on the current round of Arizona Native Democrats postcards - so start now if you were thinking about it!

    The program, called Cardzilla, is self-service. A volunteer creates an account, gets a batch of 25 addresses and a script, then writes and mails the cards. The recipients are voters on Arizona's tribal lands whose registration needs updating before November, roughly 19,000 of them statewide.

  12. Supreme Court cleared path for Trump’s mail-voting limitsbbefore the midterms, though other court orders still block parts of the plan. Nothing says “trust the voters” like redesigning the plumbing while ballots are almost in the mail. #VotingRights

  13. Supreme Court again says voters don't get to vote

    The Supremes said states don't have the right to challenge the federal government dictating how they do elections

    Once again the Roberts court sides on the government selecting the voters rather than the voters selecting the government
