This is the greatest threat to our elections. MAGA is trying to destroy our democracy. We all need to do everything we can to stop them.👇 "Those who are seeking to intervene in elections this fall have the backing of well-funded pro-Trump groups." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump allies test a new strategy for blocking election resultswww.washingtonpost.com In five battleground states, county-level officials have tried to block the certification of vote tallies — which election experts worry is a test run for trying to thwart a Biden victory.

If you are looking for someone who compromises with Republicans, I'm not your guy. There is no middle ground between an arsonist and a firefighter.

Agree. Think these folks have been at this for a very long time. Thank goodness for the media or we'd still be in the dark about it. Fortunately for us, people like @marcelias.bsky.social and the folks at #DemocracyDocket are on it. www.democracydocket.com
Im telling you, the dark money, Leonard Leo & the “Federalist Society” is doing this to our country. It’s not just the Federal System, they are doing it in the State courts & legislatures. They have a plan. That’s what Marc Elias is fighting against.
