"You may not know Cleta Mitchell - but here's why you should. Cleta calls herself 'the consiglieri to the vast right-wing conspiracy.' She's leading an effort to unravel our democracy and restrict voting. And her latest project will gut voting rights in North Carolina, key swing state." https://youtu.be/3l2lQa0RZhw #votersuppression #DemocracyDocket

NEW: There is no same-day #voter registration in #Mississippi; voters must register 30 days before an election.

But local election officials are free to move polling precincts around—even 13 hours before an election.

And two just moved in Hinds County.

We have a duly elected state AG, Kris Mayes in #Arizona.

#AZGOP has sore losers, gov't revenue sponges and big liars like Hamadeh.

BREAKING: Shasta county California has ended their contract with dominion.

No more voting machines.

"Oh great. A couple of brainwashed chucklefucks from Shasta have infiltrated the local government and ended their contract with
#dominionvoting Now California has to pay for some hand-tabulation process so these dingdongs can cheat in the election.

The stupidity is galactic."

@marcelias Missing your Democracy Docket toots on Mastodon! #DemocracyDocket

Excellent article from Democracy Docket and Marc Elias.

We can't out-organize voter suppression. This is scary because what are the options?

Yes, organize. But we have to fight like our lives depend on it. We have to call it out as unconstitutional. We have to get rid of the politicians who are repressing us.

🤬 Following Tennessee's dispicable lead, Montana bars transgender representative from state House floor. 🤬

"These brazen moves by Republican supermajorities in deep red states bar Democratic lawmakers from advocating for differing opinions. As Zephyr notes, such an action is a 'disturbing affront to democracy.'"

I asked ChatGpt to write this but she said she was napping so I'm on my own here. Practiced corporate law for 27 years, and now I am working to become a teacher in NJ.

@khadersyed Senator Sinema had the gall to tell youth #UnPAC Hunger Strikers in 2020 that she was pro-VotingRights shortly before her "bipartisan" grandstand to again uphold #JimCrowFilibuster to kill #VotingRightsProtections. And, she later claims there were no problems in midterms when she knows she helps disenfranchise citizens who are already marginalized. #DemocracyDocket #MarcElias

Marc Elias: Brad Raffensperger Is Just Another Republican Vote Suppressor

"We will never know exactly why Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) refused former President Donald tRump’s request to “find 11,780 votes” following the 2020 election. Maybe it was simply an impossible task. Perhaps he was unwilling to commit treason. It certainly wasn’t because he did not support the former president or his views on voter suppression."

Court Rules Right-Wing Conspiracy Theorists Illegally Intimidated Voters in 2020

"On Wednesday, March 8, a federal judge ruled that a robocall operation led by two conspiracy theorists ahead of the 2020 election violated Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1870, the Civil Rights Act and New York civil rights laws. In October 2020, the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and several voters filed a lawsuit against Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl (who both pled guilty to telecommunications fraud in Ohio and are facing felony charges in Michigan as of November 2022), Burkman’s lobbying firm and Project 1599 (a right-wing political organization founded by Burkman and Wohl)."

"Tomorrow, a Georgia special grand jury investigating efforts by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election will release some of its findings...” From today's #democracydocket, looking forward to GA doing the right thing and fully prosecuting this clear election interference - even if this is a "partial" release at this stage.
