Donald Trump is plotting to overthrow American democracy. It is not a secret, and he is not subtle. The only question is whether enough people will care enough to stop it. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/donald-trumps-plot-against-america/

I'm sorry this pisses some people off, but it's true.

A vote for No Labels, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West or any other third-party candidate is effectively a vote for Trump. Not voting is as well. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/donald-trumps-plot-against-america/

You can either freak out about Trump or you can take action.

In 2020 I fought Trump in court and beat him 60+ times. Since then, my team and I have fought against GOP voter suppression and election subversion in court. We are not done fight and we are not done winning.

It is time to stop with the nonsense! There are no moderate Republicans in the US House. There are proud MAGA and scared MAGA.

Every single Republican just voted for a bogus impeachment inquiry. It is a shameful moment. But we will not forget next November.

Trump's campaign knows:

A vote for Robert Kennedy is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Cornel West is a vote for Trump.
A vote for Jill Stein is a vote for Trump.
Not voting is a vote for Trump.

A vote for Biden is a vote for democracy.

Put simply, the Court allowed Trump to stay on the ballot in order to avoid an outcome that would raise the “national temperature.” My objection is that Judges should not bend to the will of an insurrectionist simply to placate his supporters.

Unable to attract the support of a majority of voters, Republicans are left to try to rig the voting rules and exploit election loopholes. Put simply, to ensure their electoral survival, Republicans need to make it harder to vote and easier to cheat. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/republicans-want-to-make-it-harder-to-vote-and-easier-to-cheat/

You might think that even in today’s highly polarized election environment there would be a bipartisan consensus to protect election workers from intimidation and harassment. If you thought so, you would be wrong.

Conservative activists are using new emerging technologies to develop powerful tools for voter suppression and election subversion. Left unchecked, we risk a new level of election vigilantism taking hold.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of one of the most successful corporate stunts. On April 14, 2021 hundreds of corporations took out an ad saying they "stand for democracy" and against voter suppression.

They got great press and did absolutely nothing to protect the right to vote.

Politico offers five takeaways from today's NY redistricting decision. I'd offer a sixth: Lawyers matter.

The same legal team that won in New York, also won in Alabama, Louisiana and Georgia.

And I am very proud that they are at my firm!

It is telling that conservatives describe my efforts to protect voting rights in court as "lawfare" yet cheer on the cases the RNC is filing to purge voters from the rolls.
