WHITE PAPER: A “zombie lawsuit” is a case that — by design — has no chance of succeeding before the election but serves as a pretext to overrule the voters afterwards. Counsel @ericjohnparedes explains why using these suits to challenge election results will fail. protectdemocracy.org/work/zo…

“Zombie lawsuits” are part of a legal strategy that election deniers are using is to somehow convince a court to void *everyone’s* votes in a given jurisdiction after the election, if their candidate loses. @ericjohnparedes explains how this legal loophole works:

Today, a jury awarded Ruby Freeman & Shaye Moss $148M in compensatory & punitive damages for the lies Rudy Giuliani told about their work in the ‘20 election.
Lies like those spread by Giuliani harm our election workers & threaten our democracy. protectdemocracy.org/work/fr…

Trump shouldn't be allowed to delay trial bc of his non-existent immunity defense. Why?
1️⃣ There’s no legal basis for criminal immunity for a former POTUS
2️⃣ Constitution & decades of gov conduct confirm past POTUSes *are* subject to criminal prosecution

We lost Zabel one of our best friends suddenly yesterday. She was our next door neighbor, adopted Grandma, and Covid Podmate. At 84 she looked 65, and lived every day to the fullest. She was a Village icon, always dressed to the nines. She will be missed. RIP my sweet Queen.
