The Fight To Certify Elections Has Already Begun
By Marc Elias
'... After Rachel Maddow featured the article on MSNBC, my concern quickly reached far and wide, with thousands of people taking to social media and flooding Democracy Docketβs inbox with questions about how this could happen and what can be done to prevent this seemingly new threat.
Except, this isnβt a new threat. I have been fighting against it in court for years.' #politics

"Trump said (paraphrasing) that he's known K. Harris for years and she was "just Indian" until a few years ago. She's not really Black.
Reminder that at 18 years old K. Harris matriculated to Howard University, the oldest HBCU in the nation."
I may have been completely wrong about the NABJ invite to Trump. This isn't going well for him at all. #politics
Trump should give the GOP the do-over it needs and drop out now
Given Trumpβs squandered opportunity to unify and heal the nation after his near-death experience, his unhinged performances on the campaign trail, and his refusal to accept the election outcome if he loses again, the 78-year-old GOP nominee should follow the example of his erstwhile elderly opponent and withdraw from the race. #politics π€£π€―
