Wilfred U. Codrington III

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

Wondering what's up w/ the Voting Rights Act, at SCOTUS, in the wild world of redistricting, or all 3? Join a discussion among experts @mcpli, @sophlin229, @JarretBerg and me in a @FloersheimerCtr event co-hosted by @ACSlawNY, Thurs 11/6 @ 6 pm. Register→ shorturl.at/tnekI

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/archive/…

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."

This National Voter Registration Day, confirm that you're ready to vote. It'll be the easiest part of your day. Visit vote.org/am-i-registere… to check your voter registration today! #NationalVoterRegistrationDay #VoteReady

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

In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man...
