.@BrennanCenter's Sean Morales-Doyle on President Trump's claims of election fraud in California. @SMoralesDoyle: "Well they are completely false and baseless. He never offers any evidence for them and that's for good reason because there is none. I think it's telling that the Republican candidate ended up making it into the top two of the California gubernatorial primary and roundly denied the idea that there was any kind of fraud or problem in the election."

We’ve learned that federal law enforcement raided offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, as well as homes of employees, board members, and activists. This appears to be an outrageous fishing expedition, an attempt to intimidate people working for democracy in our communities and country. It is an egregious abuse of law enforcement for political ends, and it fits a pattern of federal inquiries targeting voting infrastructure ahead of the midterm elections. The Ohio Organizing Collaborative are our friends, our allies, and our clients, their contributions to democracy so exemplary that we honored them with the Brennan Legacy Award. An attack on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative is an attack on every organization working to protect the right to vote.

In today's disastrous opinion in Callais, SCOTUS essentially rewarded the despicable "Southern Strategy" with a free pass to engage in race discrimination so long as the perpetrators call it partisan gerrymandering. Read this excerpt from page 27:

Both are the result of a conscious effort by the Republican Party to win over white voters by appeals to racism. (An effort the party later acknowledged and apologized for.)

But after today's decision, if a state draws a map to disadvantage Black voters in the South, they can just say it's just about disadvantaging Ds, and the map is essentially invulnerable to challenge *because* of the conditions resulting from that Southern Strategy. Shameful.

Like we said: President Trump tried an executive order on voting before, we sued him, and we won. He tried again this week. This time his focus was restricting mail voting. So we just sued him again. We expect the same result. brennancenter.org/our-work/a…
Breaking: The president has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern our elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him; we won. A year later, he has tried again. He can expect the same result. 1/2

"The president doesn't have any authority to write the rules that govern our elections. The Constitution gives that power to Congress and to the states, not to the president." — @smoralesdoyle on Trump's new mail voting executive order. nytimes.com/2026/03/31/us/po…

Our government's citizenship lists are incomplete and inaccurate. The United States Postal Service is overburdened and inadequate. This combines a car crash with a train wreck. 2/2

"It's a federal crime for any federal employees to interfere in our elections," and that includes ICE at polling places, said @smoralesdoyle on @deadlinewh.

Somehow, the SAVE Act might get worse. It already requires a passport or birth certificate to register to vote, which would block millions of American citizens from voting. The new substitute amendment (#4420) would end vote-by-mail as we know it (& more)! punchbowl.news/wp-content/up…

What does “hardship” mean anyway? Well, the amendment doesn’t say, though it does say "hardship” should be understood “narrowly.” A voter experiencing a “hardship” that would make in-person voting impracticable has to swear to it, then hope a local election official agrees.

This appears to be the strictest mail voting policy in the country. Stricter than Texas. Stricter than Mississippi. And it would apply for all federal elections.
