The Trump administration has expanded its 2020 election probe to Arizona — specifically, Maricopa County, ground zero for 2020 election conspiracy theories. Read the latest edition of The Franchise from @talkingpointsmemo.com: talkingpointsmemo.com/the-franchis...

One member of the board was cited as a key witness in the FBI’s affidavit for the January raid.

@talkingpointsmemo.com is resurrecting The Franchise, a weekly newsletter that we used to send out back in the day, starting before and continuing while President Trump began spreading deranged conspiracy theories about his loss in the 2020 election.

Although GOPer may appeal, experts tell TPM that given the precedent of a recent Supreme Court ruling upholding Texas’ gerrymandered map, it would be unusual for SCOTUS to step in. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/fed-jud...

A usual level of uncertainty hangs over the typically far-more-straightforward question of which party will hold the upper hand in a critical election year. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/how-red...

Indiana Senate REJECTS Trump's gerrymandering/refuses to cave to Trump's months-long redistricting pressure campaign. A handful of GOPers who voted against the measure have been threatened by Trump and have been victims of bomb threats and swatting. More from @khayahimmelman.bsky.social here:

A series of attempts by Trump’s DOJ to access voter info is prompting increasing alarm from election administrators, who warn that the federal gov't may be laying the groundwork to try to strongarm states over how they conduct their elections. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/doj-kee...

Martin first began boosting unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud back in 2010, when he ran and lost a race for a House seat representing a district in Missouri. More from me and @khayahimmelman.bsky.social in tonight's edition of Where Things Stand ⤵️

It is one of many actions Martin has taken as acting head of the D.C. U.S. Attorney’s office to investigate and threaten President Trump’s political enemies and to carry out Trump’s retribution agenda.

Democrats and voting rights groups are sounding the alarm after the North Carolina Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked the state election board from certifying the Democratic winner of a Supreme Court race. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

The newly elected North Carolina Dem governor and current governor filed a lawsuit against the GOP-controlled state legislature’s leadership over a recently implemented piece of legislation designed to strip power from incoming state level Democrats. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

The North Carolina House voted on Wednesday to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto on a GOP-backed bill that will strip power from the newly-elected Democratic Gov. Josh Stein and Attorney General Jeff Jackson. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/with-ho...

TPM's @khayahimmelman.bsky.social has been on top of North Carolina Republicans' power grab maneuvering for weeks. With tonight's veto override vote, their efforts to strip newly-elected state level Democrats of power is complete. More here:

As North Carolina Republicans attempt to maintain their party’s uber majority on the state’s Supreme Court, the Democratic incumbent Allison Riggs, is calling out the latest GOP stunt as an attempt to “change the outcome of an election." (edited) talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

North Carolina Senate Republicans on Monday voted to override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper’s recent veto of a Republican-passed bill designed to strip away power from the newly-elected Democratic governor and attorney general. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

Cooper’s veto, however, does not put an end to state Republicans’ efforts to strip power from newly-elected Democrats, a maneuver that Cooper described as a “sham.” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

They’ve been blatant about using whatever means necessary to push through the legislation, including reportedly considering getting Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson to sign the bill into law while Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper was out of the state Wednesday. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-c...

Kari Lake, who has been one of the most prominent faces of the “Stop the Steal” movement the last four years, has been uncharacteristically quiet about her recent Senate race loss. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kari-la...

The Republican obsession with the non-existent threat of non-citizen voting will likely be used again to stoke fear about the safety and integrity of the election system in future elections, as it was this cycle. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/johnson...
