On the anniversary of Bloody Sunday: At the _outstanding_ Lowndes Interpretive Center on the Selma-to-Montgomery route, you can get a copy of the Alabama literacy test used in 1965. But you can’t get a current voter registration form. @NatlParkService, you could fix that …

A 🧵on the CA Supreme Court's new (first-ever) decision construing state Voting Rights Act. tldr: it's a fine decision, but obtuse to the CVRA's fundamental & dysfunctional weirdness -- the absolute immunity for single-member district elections. 1/14 electionlawblog.org/?p=138389

This morning, the Cal. Supreme Court decided a long-awaited California Voting Rights Act case. And I think for many of these issues, it's the first decision from a state supreme court construing a state voting rights act. electionlawblog.org/?p=138389

The two federal indictments allege criminal behavior at the core of the Presidency: 1: proper care for classified military/diplomatic intel 2: heeding the will of the electorate in effectuating a peaceful transfer of power Maybe that's context more valuable than poll results?

The fact that one of the counts of the indictment is a provision of the Ku Klux Klan Act actually provides some surprisingly useful context.

I don’t understand the side-by-side of national security breaches by a resistant defendant and tax misconduct by a cooperative defendant. If we have to compare law enforcement treatment of Hunter and Trump, isn’t it more apt to compare the treatment of tax misconduct by each?

i talked to @_justinlevitt_ about why SCOTUS's Milligan decision last week is something voting rights advocates are celebrating — but also why the fact this is worthy of celebration is a symptom of how dire the VRA landscape has become. boltsmag.org/supreme-court-…

(I hope my skepticism is unwarranted, but Cannon's decisions in the warrant case were astonishing. I find it hard to imagine a judge who would sign those opinions giving a fair shake to both sides now. But we'll see.)

Now that the shock over the SCOTUS ruling has seemingly worn off, the messages I'm getting from voting rights advocates are swinging from cautious hope for the future to anger about the past (re: that 2022 order that forced Alabama to use maps now declared unlawful in midterms)

#Milligan is also a case about the shadow docket. In an A+ opinion, the trial court said that Alabama voters deserved relief in January 2022. But SCOTUS made them sit through an election held under discriminatory conditions before eventually agreeing. Justice delayed...
