I've got a piece in @TheAtlantic this morning arguing that the Electoral College is an essential part of the story of Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election - and a major the reason he came so close to succeeding. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv… 1/

Big: Garland announces that DOJ will double the Civil Rights Division's enforcement staff for protecting voting rights

Attorney General Nominee Merrick Garland: "I come from a family where my grandparents fled anti-Semitism & persecution. The country took us in and protected us. I feel an obligation to the country to pay back and this is the highest best use of my own set of skills to pay back."

This is the most important staff hiring in the new Senate. @Bill_Dauster knows more about reconciliation & parliamentary rules than anyone. Strategy sessions in the Oval Office & Senate will begin with "Bill Dauster says ..."
I'm happy to be returning to the Senate next week as Chief Counsel of the @SenateBudget Committee under Chairman @BernieSanders. politico.com/news/2021/02/03…

These domestic terrorists may be able to delay the process that the Constitution commands. But they will not stop it.

Georgia's votes have been counted and recounted, and its GOP leaders affirm its Electoral College votes.
This call to “find” the exact number of votes needed to overturn the will of Georgia voters will not work. But it is a Watergate-level shock-the-conscience presidential tape.

OK, so we're doing this.
By all reputable accounts, we have just had a well-run election, despite difficult circumstances, with zero evidence of widespread fraud. Scattershot legal challenges have been brought to courts throughout the country...

Attorney General William Barr has authorized prosecutors to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities, if they exist, before the presidential election is certified. The move comes despite there being little evidence of such fraud. apne.ws/2xk1mVO

Max Weiss, a 25-year-old law student at @williamandmary will be a poll worker in VA this year. “It’s less risky for me than it is for my grandmother or my parents,” he told @nytimes “I feel some sort of sense of duty to country to do that.”

Thank you @AJNierenberg and @nytimes for speaking with me about @asapelections!
With 1 day left, it's important to remember election officials working tirelessly to preserve our republic. In a cycle clouded by misinformation from a desperate authoritarian, they are our heroes.

The most disappointing part of law school: realizing that Constitutional Law isn't grounded in logic. Just politics under the guise of legalese.

THREAD: Have Trump-appointed judges impacted 2020 election litigation and therefore how we run the election? Let us count the ways.
(Spoiler: they have. A lot). 1/

I hope you’ve been hacked, @GovMikeHuckabee. Trying to undermine the faith of the American people in our democracy with this baseless voter-fraud nonsense? Publicly confessing to committing felony violations of AR Code §§7-1-104(a)(11)-(12)?
Not funny. Not cool. Appalling.
26 days left and @asapelections is working hard to recruit students in *every state* to work the polls and help count votes.
Visit asapelections.org to get involved!
🚨Our democracy urgently needs 1000s of new – younger – volunteers this fall at polling places. 🚨
I'm proud to know @TheRealMaxWeiss & thank him for his work recruiting students to safely work the polls by launching Alliance of Students at the Polls! Email [email protected] for info!
Many states have changed their elections laws to protect voters from COVID-19 this November.
I wrote about Tennessee's failure to do so:

Big shout-out to the thousands of elections officials throughout the country who are working tirelessly to make sure that the election is honest. I am sure that it can be, and it will be.
