A new #SCOTUS term opens on Monday. There's good reason to be worried about this extremist Court's assault on democracy & rights. My new piece in @TheAtlantic (bit.ly/3CXx16T) examines the historical context. When the Court got it wrong, Americans have gotten right. 1/2

In my piece @TheAtlantic, I argue something few are willing to admit: the Electoral College was designed to privilege white voters, and it continues to do so today. (1/5) theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

Honoring #ConstitutionDay cont. w/ @LWV of East Nassau. Discussion Topic? The History, Operation, and Alternatives to the Electoral College. In the wise words of one member, "We need to keep at [the effort to abolish] it, even if it doesn't happen in my lifetime."

To help close the turnout gap between voters of color and white voters, every eligible voter should make sure to register to vote, know the rules, and make a plan to vote. #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, bit.ly/49ASrHI

Look forward to partaking in school, civic & advocacy org., and media events over the next 3 weeks to celebrate @NatlVoterRegDay & #ConstitutionDay. But two quick thoughts: 1. Register & get #VoteReady 2. The Electoral College is still awful shorturl.at/OpJE6 @JoeDavidsonWP

Sick of the #Purcell principle yet? Ur not alone. My @statecourtrpt piece offers more reason to feel uneasy about it: it's infected not just fed courts but state courts too. See how it can impact the 2024 election (w/ link to @WLU_LawReview draft article) shorturl.at/h1K6F
