I just asked @potus if he would send the National Guard or ICE to voting locations in November.
He did not rule it out.
The president: “Well you know what. I’d do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections. We have to have honest elections."

UPDATE: Plaintiffs in Alabama last night went to the district court seeking a temporary restraining order keeping the 2023 map blocked—essentially using the reasoning about intentional discrimination and their constitutional claims that Sotomayor discussed. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: SCOTUS majority gives Alabama GOP a chance to use a map already found to be unconstitutional. Sotomayor noted in dissent that the majority acted "without regard for the confusion that will surely ensue." The primary election was to be held May 19. lawdork.com/p/scotus-major…

Alabama’s AG announces he’s launched his own investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center, following the federal criminal indictment. But it looks an awful lot like a witch hunt for donors. alabamaag.gov/wp-content/upl…

Lawsuit over NC State Senate map is over, with Dems agreeing to dismiss case. Rep. Rodney Pierce cites US Supreme Court VRA ruling: "Because of that decision, there is no longer a path open to us to protect the voting rights of Black citizens in my part of the state." #ncpol

Breaking:
A federal judge DENIES Fulton County’s request for the return of 2020 election ballots seized by the Trump FBI.
Despite the “unprecedented” events here, it's a tough claim to return seized evidence. Cited here: The 11th Circuit's ruling over the Mar-a-Lago raid. buff.ly/s3EOG1v

BREAKING: SCOTUS grants the Callais plaintiffs' request to issue the judgment now, meaning the ruling goes into effect and back to the district court immediately.
This was done over a strong dissent from Jackson — prompting Alito (w Thomas & Gorsuch) to author an opinion concurring with the grant.

Gov. Henry McMaster isn’t preparing to call a special Statehouse session to redraw South Carolina’s congressional districts, his office confirmed.
The decision comes as Trump has pushed Southern states to create more GOP-leaning House seats.
