Lessons From 303 Creative: We Must Intervene To Save Democracy
By Marc Elias

Here are some updates from today.

  • A bar disciplinary committee recommended that Rudy Giuliani be disbarred in Washington, D.C. for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    • The panel described how Giuliani’s involvement in Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvar — a case in Pennsylvania in which he alleged that election fraud took place in Democratic counties but failed to present any such evidence — “helped destabilize our democracy.” Read the 41-page document here

  • South Carolina Republicans filed a brief in the U.S. Supreme Court arguing that the Court should reverse a previous decision that struck down the state’s congressional map for being a racial gerrymander.

Here are some other recent updates you may have missed.

  • Earlier this week, U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) introduced a bill that would ensure that only U.S. citizens are able to vote in federal elections, despite the fact that this is already the case.

  • Last week, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) vetoed a power-grabbing bill that would have removed local officials' power to implement federal election guidelines.

Here's what to expect coming up.

  • There are a slew of redistricting hearings next week, including in Utah and Michigan.

There is no new podcast this week, but you can catch up on any previous episodes you may have missed on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
