Mullin's history of false election fraud claims has heightened concerns that voting officials have had for more than a year: that DHS will not be a partner helping to secure elections, but rather a threat seeking to undermine results that Trump dislikes. www.npr.org/2026/06/16/n...

NEW: The Trump administration is banning one of the Census Bureau's main ways of protecting the confidentiality of people's responses to the #2030Census and other surveys — added statistical "noise," or data for fuzzing survey results www.commerce.gov/opog/disclos...

The race for two Georgia Public Service Commission seats this November is becoming a test on whether pocketbook issues and concerns about unchecked data center growth can overcome traditional party lines. Story by @alander.bsky.social #gapol

In a shadow docket order, the Supreme Court effectively reversed its 2023 ruling in the same Alabama case. Sotomayor excoriated the decision, warning of a chaotic election under a map that intentionally discriminates against Black Alabamians. More: bit.ly/3SkD6XR

In light of the Roberts Court emphatically clarifying that the voting rights era really is OVER and that the nation’s laws and constitution can henceforth only be used to *curtail* the right of minorities to vote, I am reposting my series of essays on the history of multiracial democracy:

NEW: Georgia Republicans baselessly claimed that a delay in Fulton County's primary election reporting was evidence of fraud. In reality, it was postponed for a safety incident near the polls. The GOP used the episode to advance its push to have the state take over elections in the blue county.

The Supreme Court’s conservative majority used outdated examples to say the racial gap in voter turnout has closed, but in reality, the gap is growing — due in part to the Court’s past assaults on the Voting Rights Act. bit.ly/3QIYd5B

As this administration makes it harder for voters to cast their ballot, takes away health care, and encourages violence to hurt people, it is also targeting the nonprofits fighting back. The indictment of @SPLCenter is part of a coordinated strategy to silence opposition. #DissentIsNotACrime

New, from me: The Roberts Court does not want colorblind voting maps. We know that because the easiest way to get such maps would have been to kill partisan gerrymandering. Instead, they upheld it, using it as a means to kill the Voting Rights Act. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-lie-be...

Gov. Reeves calls off Mississippi’s special session on judicial redistricting Reeves said he wants Mississippi to redraw its congressional and legislative districts after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, but did not lay out a specific timeline for that.
