"Unlike in his first term, [Trump] now understands the importance of omnipresence." A brilliant analysis from @LeonKrauze. wapo.st/4kasBzR

Very good reminder as you stare at the map

what page are *you* constantly refreshing today?

WATCH: @IanBassin on how autocrats exploit "anticipatory obedience" to silence critics and hold onto power, and how the pro-democracy coalition can help keep the opposition on the playing field.

BREAKING: Despite clear facts and law, SCOTUS overturned two carefully reasoned federal court rulings in our lawsuit challenging Virginia’s illegal voter-purge program w/o explaining their decision. Bottom line: We know this program removes eligible voters.

"They're spreading as many lies as they can and picking the ones that will catch on." @emilize spoke with @USAToday about the election denier strategy behind the 100+ zombie lawsuits about ballot access that are spreading unfounded claims of fraud. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

NEW: Advantaging Authoritarianism: How the U.S. electoral system favors extremism. First published in 2022, an updated report on how our “electoral system is tilting the playing field of our democracy, and in doing so abetting those who would do it harm.” Read the report:

Lies about ineligible voters. 100+ meritless lawsuits. Threats to certification. There is calculation to the chaos: deceive, disrupt, deny. My @protctdemocracy colleagues and I wrote this guide to help you understand the 2024 election subversion strategy protectdemocracy.org/election-subve…

Ok, we need to get something straight because I’m seeing it everywhere: Pennsylvania does not have “early voting” that will be “starting next week.” This is a misunderstanding of how things work in PA, and the actual process is complicated by court cases this year. 🧵

It was great to connect with Maryland's own @CrawfordStuff about why Marylanders can have faith in our elections – and how they can serve our state at the polls. My conversation with @ProtctDemocracy: ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-to-build…

I wouldn't dare argue with @braderstorf's excellent taste...

Election years will have sunny days and stormy ones. @jessmarsden and I wrote this piece as a reminder that – even when dark clouds loom – we ☀️will☀️ get through 2024. Here's how. ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-our-demo…

Introducing! How democracy survives - a special series on how we get through this. First edition explains how threats to our elections stem from eroded trust & why we’re actually even more prepared to see our elections through. By @Emilize & @jessmarsden ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-our-demo…

This is the most deranged thing I have ever read. I love it so much. Thank you again and again, @FarFarrAway inquirer.com/phillies/phill…

@whstancil This election is not a choice between two individuals, it's a choice between worldviews, between futures. Do we want to continue down the path to multiethnic democracy or do we want to impose a white patriarchal Christian autocracy?

A Fulton county official refused to certify Georgia’s 2024 primary results and filed a lawsuit claiming she has discretion when it comes to election certification. She is wrong. @DemocracyMcGee and @emilize explain in a new @ajc op-ed. ajc.com/opinion/opinio…

Supreme Court Overturns 'Right v. Wrong' theonion.com/supreme-court-…
