(1,488 posts)But just an early battle in a longer war. We should expect various voter suppression efforts all the way up to the GE. Time to roll up our sleeves.
Thanks for posting!

(1,488 posts)It seems like he's the main player in this area. Hopefully there's a large group of attorneys out there I'm unfamiliar with.

(71 posts)Democracy heroes are election-anxiety reducers and Marc Elias Group is loaded with them. He describes his team of partners, of counsel, associates, and professional staff as motivated by the firms mission to help Democrats win, citizens vote, and progressives make change. Democracy Docket, the news platform founded by Elias, has a wonderful free inbox-delivered newsletter which showcases the promising results of his teams hard work. While we each do our own part, it can really give us a boost knowing there are so many legal minds laboring to safeguard our form of government. A membership at the Docket comes with some extras. Not a paid endorsement.

(86,646 posts)All I know is what's in that video. He sounds like he's established a personal mission to help undo maga-ism.
Or he could be something else, but I don't think he is, we'll see. He's running for House District 1 up by the ID panhandle.

(86,646 posts)We have some interesting young folks stepping up and I like to see them go for it. Perhaps he has some capital in that area, I think he grew up around that area, the state lines are kind of blurry in spots.
Something to keep an eye on.

(7,901 posts)doing. Every step of the way, any way that they can, as many kinds of ways as they can think of, legal or otherwise. The only way they can win is by cheating 5 ways from Sunday and beyond. They expect to disrupt and discredit the vote in as many ways and locations as they can plant people in. They have money Trump can't touch and they are much more organized than the MAGAloons. The MAGA mob is there to distract us. The real damage is being planned and coordinated by ALEC and all the other front groups in the same way Jan. 6th was a group effort to kick off all that excessive state legislation and accusation which followed the big lie.
