Rest in power, Rev. James Lawson, Jr. We will never forget you and all you’ve done for our nation. apnews.com/article/james-…

I’m thrilled to start a new chapter in the fight for voting rights with this wonderful organization Campaign Legal Center and terrific team of people!

Thanks, Trevor! Thrilled to join the team!

Beaten, shot, and buried in an earthen dam 60 years ago today, Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner paid the ultimate price for the right to vote. Those who make it harder to vote, and those who fail to exercise that right, desecrate their sacrifice. washingtonpost.com/nation/interac…

NEW: The Supreme Court has ruled that a president is IMMUNE from criminal prosecution based on any exercise of his “core” presidential powers, even if his goal was to overturn a lawful election. This is unprecedented in the history of our nation: campaignlegal.org/press-releases… 1/

The Court's decision today makes it highly unlikely that a trial for former President Trump will occur before Election Day, depriving voters of the right to know whether someone running in the 2024 presidential election is guilty of attempting to overthrow the last one. 2/end

VIRTUAL EVENT: On July 24, author Ari Berman and advocates Cliff Albright (🧵cliffalbright🧵), Katie Fahey 👍✌ & Bruce Spiva will discuss structural attacks on our democracy, what's driving them and how to fight back & safeguard the freedom to vote: campaignlegal.org/events/minorit… #CampaignLegalConversations

VICTORY! Utah Supreme Court reinstates our claim that the legislature violated the Utah Constitution when it repealed the initiative banning partisan gerrymandering. Affirms that the people have the right to alter or reform their government. #fairmaps #Utah

Congratulations to my new colleagues Campaign Legal Center on this important victory against the scourge of partisan gerrymandering!

Campaign Legal Center condemns today’s shocking act of violence against former President Trump. Our democracy depends on every American rejecting all forms of political violence. Tragic events like today’s shooting in Pennsylvania should never happen – not now, not ever.

We may be a country that is bitterly divided politically, but those divisions do not justify these kinds of horrific acts of violence, no matter what. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by today's violence.

Had a great conversation today with Ari Berman, Cliff Albright, and Katie Fahey regarding the historical and ongoing fight for full democracy and against vote suppression. See it on youtube (link below) or on CLC’s website, campaignlegal.org.

Author Ari Berman wants people to think about #democracy more broadly. Here's what he had to say during our recent #CampaignLegalConversations event with Cliff Albright (🧵cliffalbright🧵), Katie Fahey 👍✌ & Bruce Spiva. Full event: campaignlegal.org/events/minorit…

Welcome back Martin Austermühle! Back here where we need ya’!

Manipulating ballot initiative language to deceive voters is a (sadly) common tactic, and we’re seeing it used in #Ohio, where voters have a chance to remove politicians from the redistricting process this November. This is a fight for #fairmaps! ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/08/16/ohi…

Campaign Legal Center strongly supports the #Ohio ballot initiative to establish an independent redistricting commission that would end #gerrymandering by drawing district maps for the benefit of #voters, not politicians. citizensnotpoliticians.org

Happy Tuesday #electionlaw twitter. There are 77 days to the election. What’s on my radar today?

I have a new article in Lawfare raising my serious concerns about whether we can trust the Roberts-led #SupremeCourt to deal evenhandedly with cases related to the 2024 presidential election. lawfaremedia.org/article/can-we…

A key warning sign, I argue, is #SCOTUS’s Trump v. United States ruling, establishing sweeping new criminal immunity for presidents. With that ruling, I believe the Court forfeited a presumption of good faith when it comes to politically charged cases. lawfaremedia.org/article/can-we…

There’s also the fact that this Court has a tendency to favor partisan and special interests in election law cases, a pattern my @campaignlegal colleagues and I explored in a 2022 white paper: campaignlegal.org/document/supre…
