North Carolina voters must fix ballots in 15 days or be disenfranchised

* A Republican-majority panel of the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled ([link removed]) to disenfranchise up to 65,000 voters in the state's contentious Supreme Court election unless they can fix their ballots in 15 days. The panel overturned a lower court’s decision that had protected the ballots and had dismissed challenges filed by Republican candidate Jefferson Griffin.
* “This does not just affect North Carolina,” the Democratic candidate, Justice Allison Riggs, said ([link removed]) in an interview with Marc today. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy.”

Trump’s elections order ‘sets the stage for chaos,’ states warn in new lawsuit

* A total of 19 Democratic attorneys general sued ([link removed]) over President Donald Trump’s anti-voting executive order, saying it “sets the stage for chaos.” This is the fourth lawsuit filed this week challenging the order.

Sen. Andy Kim: The GOP is full of cowards and crazies

* Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) hosted a series of town halls in Republican congressional districts after the local representatives refused to do so.

All gas, no brakes in the fight for democracy

* Trump doesn’t run a normal administration — those follow the law. He runs a regime that’s wreaking havoc on our economy, democracy and national security and meant to enrich and protect himself and his friends.

* But the American people aren’t taking this lying down. From the Rust Belt to the Sun Belt, people are showing up to defend freedom. This weekend you can join ([link removed]) a “Hands Off” rally — or one of the 1,100+ events being organized across the country to show Trump and Elon Musk that this country doesn’t belong to them.
