Republicans sued to block California’s Prop 50, which voters passed Tuesday. The lawsuit argues the state violated the 14th and 15th Amendments by drawing congressional districts that “favor Hispanic voters.”

Not only did Democrats win every key race last night, but they did so with high turnout. Republicans cannot claim their voters stayed home. This was a clear referendum on Trump and the Republican Party — and voters chose Democrats by wide margins.
But let’s not pop the champagne quite yet, Marc writes. History has taught us this is precisely when Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse.
A district court denied Florida's motion for summary judgment in a lawsuit challenging the Republican legislature’s efforts to curtail direct democracy by making it harder to pass ballot measures. This means the case will proceed to trial, which is scheduled to begin Jan 26.
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) joined Marc to expose how Trump is weaponizing the DOJ and covering up the Epstein files. They discussed the dangers of mid-decade redistricting, election denial, and what Democrats are doing to defend democracy and protect the rule of law.
There’s a hearing in New Jersey Democrats’ lawsuit against the Bergen County Board of Elections for refusing to count over 400 mail-in ballots that were returned without an inner envelope.
Tuesday, the court ruled that the ballots will be rejected but ordered the board to notify affected voters so that they may vote provisionally. The court also ordered the board to consider whether to allow a cure process.
