In North Carolina, it was a lawsuit over the state’s voter registration records. In Arizona and Wisconsin, it was a letter to state election officials warning of potential administrative violations. And in Colorado, it was a demand for election records going back to 2020.
Those actions in recent weeks by the U.S. Department of Justice’s voting section may seem focused on the technical machinery of how elections are run but signal deeper changes when combined with the departures of career attorneys and decisions to drop various voting rights cases.
They represent a shift away from the division’s traditional role of protecting access to the ballot box. Instead, the actions address concerns that have been raised by a host of conservative activists following years of false claims surrounding elections in the U.S. Some voting rights and election experts also note that by targeting certain states — presidential battlegrounds or those controlled by Democrats — the moves could be foreshadowing an expanded role for the department in future elections.
Okay, yes, the trump and non-voting voters destroyed democracy in America. BUT - okay - but there was that time Harris had to defend the state of California from a lawsuit by a trans person. So. Y’know. You can see we had no choice.
Plenty of people voted actually. Harris should have won, it’s coming out now how little the data in that election made sense.
I’d love to see that. I assume you’re talking about the New York county where Harris got zero votes moving forward in the courts, but is there anything else?
