Senate Bill 9 would also bar anyone from helping a voter unless they fill out a form listing their relationship to the voter and why the assistance is necessary.

The bill would also require anyone who drives at least three voters to a polling place and requests curbside voting to sign a form swearing that the voters are not physically able to enter the polling place.

Those who vote by mail because of a disability will also be required to submit a form confirming their inability to physically enter a polling place.

Secret donors and Trump allies: Inside the operation to push noncitizen voting laws in Florida and other states

A network of out-of-state political consultants, secret donors and activists with close ties to President Trump is behind an effort to change the Florida constitution to explicitly state that only citizens may vote in elections,

In recent months, organizers said they have collected nearly twice the signatures needed to qualify for the ballot next year — and more than any other ballot initiative in Florida state history,

The initiative is being publicly championed by a West Palm Beach couple who are members of the president’s private club and have been associated with Trump’s political operation.

it is being driven by a veteran GOP political consultant based in Arizona who said he has plans to expand the effort to at least a dozen other states in time for the 2020 elections — many of which are key Senate battlegrounds.

The financiers of the Florida ballot measure, who public records show have contributed more than $4.7 million through a recently formed nonprofit organization, are a mystery.

Tim Murtaugh, a spokesman for the Trump campaign, said the proposed amendment is in line with the president’s views. :lol

some Republican state lawmakers, who

passed legislation earlier this year signed by DeSantis that is aimed at curtailing ballot initiatives driven by secret or out-of-state backers. :lol

“There’s nothing that would stop a foreign political foe from transferring money into one of these groups,”

“There are no reporting requirements that could track whether it is actually being funded by a political foe. That should scare the hell out of all of us.”

Since late March, Trump has spent more than $440,000—nearly 9 percent of his total spending—in the state, more than anywhere else in the country,

He’s targeted registered voters with Facebook ads,

including many that use alarmist and saber-rattling language to stoke fear about immigrants and to call for the construction of a border wall.

Eighth Circuit Unbothered by North Dakota Law Stripping Right to Vote From Native Americans

North Dakota is one step closer to ensuring that these Native American voters will never be able to vote.

The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals last week upheld a law that strips nearly 10 percent of all voting-age Native Americans living in North Dakota of their right to vote.

lack of regard for North Dakota’s indigenous population as it is about voter suppression and a state forcing voters to comply with a requirement that the state itself has made impossible to follow.

Thousands of Native Americans who do not have residential addresses through no fault of their own have been affected by the law,

HB 1369 (https://www.legis.nd.gov/assembly/65-2017/documents/17-0750-07000.pdf).

What’s worse is that these Native voters may be disenfranchised permanently should HB 1369 remain in place—

something the three-judge panel that ruled on the lawsuit challenging the law seems OK with.

North Dakota’s law called the current residential street address requirement,

which requires voters to present qualifying identification to cast a ballot.

An ID card isn’t valid unless it contains the voter’s legal name, current residential street address, and date of birth.

FEC Chair Calls Out Trump’s Bogus Voter Fraud Claims: ‘Lay Your Cards On The Table’

The chair of the Federal Election Commission has called on the President, once again, to provide any proof he has for his bogus claim of widespread illegal voting in the 2016 election.

“You have not, so far, provided any proof of these allegations,”

“To put it in terms a former casino operator should understand: There comes a time when you need to lay your cards on the table or fold,”

on Thursday, Trump falsely said once again that massive voter fraud had taken place in the state.

Weintraub has for years (https://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/fec-comissioner-calls-on-trump-voter-fraud-claims-nh) asked Trump for proof of the “astonishing voter-fraud scheme that he claims denied him” victory in New Hampshire.

“What I wrote to you in March 2017 is as true now:

Our democracy depends on the American people’s faith in our elections,” Weintraub told Trump Friday

“Your voter-fraud allegations run the risk of undermining that faith.”

Probe of missing Georgia votes finds ‘extreme’ irregularities in black districts

A trove of documents turned over in a congressional probe of missing votes in Georgia’s lieutenant governor race — along with other voting issues — revealed serious irregularities.

voting machine errors caused a large drop-off in votes in the lieutenant governor race between Democrat Sarah Riggs Amico and Republican Geoff Duncan, who won the election by about 123,000 votes.

The probe is looking at

why so many fewer votes were recorded in the race compared to other statewide races,

as well as the voter suppression issues (https://www.salon.com/2018/10/19/analysis-brian-kemp-has-purged-over-300000-voters-from-georgia-rolls/) that plagued the 2018 state elections.

There were 159,000 fewer votes cast in the lieutenant governor race than in the gubernatorial race between Democrat Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp.

While it is common for down-ballot races to see fewer votes,

the lieutenant governor race had twice as much drop-off as other statewide races,

even though it was the second race on the ballot,

Trump’s New Attempt to Skew Redistricting

the administration was determined to move ahead with a separate collection of citizenship data that it could offer Republican-controlled states to use for redistricting, instead of the traditional total population measurement.

“Accordingly, the Secretary has directed the Census Bureau to proceed with the 2020 Census without a citizenship question on the questionnaire, and rather to produce

Citizenship Voting Age Population (CVAP)

information prior to April 1, 2021 that states may use in redistricting.”

“Administrative records will use existing government information to produce citizen voting age population (CVAP) data at the census block level, the smallest geographic data unit,”

Block-level data is all a state would need to plug in to widely available redistricting software and spit out a map based on CVAP, which would skew heavily white and Republican.

Such a move would reshape the political and social topography of any state that tries it.

Legislative seats — and the raw political power that comes with them — would shift away from diverse urban areas and gravitate toward whiter suburban and rural communities.

The centers of political gravity would also bend in those directions,

resulting in state legislative maps that strongly favor the Republican Party.

The effects of extreme partisan gerrymandering and stringent voter-ID laws would be amplified.

This has been a long-standing fantasy for conservative legal scholars and hard-boiled GOP operatives alike.

it’s hard to imagine that there will not be an early effort by some Republican-controlled states to adopt CVAP redistricting and test it in the courts

it would not be terribly surprising if

Chief Justice John Roberts —

the author and deciding vote in the June decision on the citizenship question —

found a way to let Republicans use CVAP even though he stopped them from imposing it nationally via the Census.

Without U.S. membership in the UPU, overseas voters could face high shipping rates for mailing their ballots as well as mass confusion, which could leave thousands of votes uncounted in 2019 and 2020.

“Military and overseas citizens already face enormous hurdles casting their votes,”

“These citizens may be forced to pay up to $70 to return their ballots via private shipping companies,

and it’s not clear all states will accept ballots delivered this way.”

Census Bureau wants the same Texas driver’s license data from failed voter purge for citizen count

Earlier this year, outdated driver’s license records led to an attempt to remove naturalized citizens from voter rolls.

these records have already proved to be unreliable indicators of citizenship status in Texas,

namely during this year’s failed voter purge when former interim Secretary of State David Whitley wrongly accused thousands of naturalized citizens of illegally voting (https://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/2019/04/26/texas-will-rescind-its-noncitizen-voter-advisory-pay-450k-in-fees-to-settle-case/).

if Texas leaders use citizenship counts instead of total population to redraw congressional and state Senate districts in 2021 — an idea President Donald Trump publicly pushed this year (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/07/05/trump-just-admitted-something-he-probably-shouldnt-have-about-census-citizenship-question/) —

Latinos, children under 18 and noncitizen immigrants could miss out on proper political representation for the next 10 years. :lol that's the entire point by the racist Repugs :lol

The Census Bureau requested the records from Texas this month to comply with an executive order signed by Trump in July (https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-collecting-information-citizenship-status-connection-decennial-census/).

His administration wants to provide states with a count of citizens

so that states can redraw districts based on the number of voting-aged citizens rather than total population.

Voter Purge Rates Remain High, Analysis Finds

New data reveal that counties with a history of voter discrimination have continued purging people from the rolls at elevated rates.

After analyzing the 2019 EAC data, we found:



At least 17 million voters were purged nationwide between 2016 and 2018, similar to the number we saw between 2014 and 2016, but considerably higher than we saw between 2006 and 2008;
The median purge rate over the 2016–2018 period in jurisdictions previously subject to preclearance was 40 percent higher than the purge rate in jurisdictions that were not covered by Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act;
If purge rates in the counties that were covered by Section 5 were the same as the rates in non-Section 5 counties, as many as 1.1 million fewer individuals would have been removed from voter rolls between 2016 and 2018

Repug voter suppression includes intimidating voters at polling places, would be totally defeated by mail-in ballots

CONSERVATIVE OPERATIVES FLOAT PLAN TO

PLACE RETIRED MILITARY, POLICE OFFICERS AS GOP POLL WATCHERS ON ELECTION DAY

The idea is a reprise of once-illegal Election Day “ballot security” intimidation tactics, intended to challenge voter registration and remove voters from the rolls.

At a strategy session in February attended by conservative donors and activists, several people expressed a specific need for Republican poll watchers in “inner city” and predominantly Native American precincts,

“You get some [Navy] Seals in those polls and they’re going to say, ‘No, no, this is what it says. This is how we’re going to play this show,’” said Catherine Engelbrecht, founder of True the Vote,

a group that lobbies for voting restrictions (https://www.propublica.org/article/a-reading-guide-to-true-the-vote-the-controversial-voter-fraud-watchdog) and organizes volunteers (http://www.tucsonsentinel.com/nationworld/report/082012_voting_observers/voters-feel-intimidated-by-election-observers/) to go into precincts and

aggressively challenge (https://www.demos.org/sites/default/files/publications/BulliesAtTheBallotBox-Final.pdf) voters who they believe are improperly registered.

“That’s what we need. We need people who are unafraid to call it like they see it.”

This is unacceptable. You get shit for posting this stuff incessantly but it is worth knowing.

So, a voter must fail to vote in two federal election cycles (a federal election cycle includes all elections and primaries in a two-year period) and fail to return an address confirmation card before being put on the inactive list. The inactive voter must then fail to vote in an additional two federal election cycles before his or her name is removed from the voter rolls. That means those who were recently removed from voter rolls have not voted since 2010.

What makes the most recent purge seem so dramatic is that it was almost all done in one week during the holidays, a time when there would be few new people registering to vote. Previous purges took place over several weeks. Every county except Yancy saw a decrease in registration numbers from December 29 to January 5. Previous purges took place over several weeks. As with prior purges, it will take some time for voter registration to reach its pre-purge level; the number of registered voters in the state did not fully recover from the early 2017 voter roll purges until late June of 2018.

‘Misleading’: :lol LIE!

Experts say conservatives’ report on voter fraud touted by Trump contains critical data error

The Public Interest Legal Foundation reported that

more than 1 million ballots sent out to voters in 2018 were returned as undeliverable.

Taken at face value, that would represent a 91% increase over the number of undeliverable mail ballots in 2016, a sign that

a vote-by-mail system would be a “catastrophe” for elections,

after ProPublica provided evidence to PILF that it had in fact doubled the official government numbers, :lol

the organization corrected its figure (https://publicinterestlegal.org/files/Mail-Voting-2012_2018-1P.pdf). :lol

PILF regularly sues state and local election officials to force them to purge some voters from registration rolls

The report describes as “missing” all mail ballots that were delivered to a valid address but not returned to be counted.

12 million were mailed by election officials in Colorado, Oregon and Washington, which by law send a mail-in ballot to every registered voter,

roughly 30% of which are not returned for any given election.

unaccounted-for ballots “represent 28 million opportunities for someone to cheat.” :lol

In particular, the organization argues that the number of unreturned ballots would grow if more states adopt voting by mail.

“Election officials ‘know’ what happened to those ballots,”

“They were received by eligible citizens and not filled out.

Where are they now? Most likely, in landfills,”

“The potential to affect elections by chasing down unused mail-in ballots and make sure they get counted — using methods that may or may not be legal — is great,”

“Conflating voters choosing not to cast their ballots with ‘missing’ ballots is a fundamental flaw,” :lol

there was no evidence to support calling those ballots a pathway to large-scale voter fraud.

cases of voter fraud are extremely rare (https://electionlab.mit.edu/research/voting-mail-and-absentee-voting), although they do occur, and that fraud in mail voting seems to occur more often than with in-person voting.

Legal experts blast tactics of

‘secretly-funded’ gang

pushing voter suppression in 2020 election

“The right-wing legal network spawned by the Federalist Society has finally gone full Trumpian.

It has morphed from a group of apparently principled conservatives debating high-minded theories of legal interpretation,

into a secretly-funded cabal spouting conspiracy theories such as the myth of widespread voter fraud,”

we have now approached peak-hackery, and

that hackery is now being directed at manipulating elections.

That part really is new,

and it is a dangerous development that threatens the rule of law,”

Leo, who is still co-chairman of the Federalist Society, is now spearheading an all-out effort to capture the federal judiciary and to seat judges who are likely to rule in favor of those secret monied-interests,”

Their activities now go well beyond dark money political hardball into conspiracy mongering and election-meddling efforts around the November presidential elections that endanger our democracy,”

“Now things have taken a turn from court-packing to a side-grift in vote suppression.

Leo, Carrie Severino of the Judicial Crisis Network, and their dark-money backers

are promoting the Orwellian-named ‘Honest Elections Project’

to pressure elections administrators to limit access to the ballot and to undermine trust in elections.

The idea that voter fraud in the United States is widespread has been debunked (https://www.amazon.com/Election-Meltdown-Distrust-American-Democracy/dp/0300248199) many times. There’s so little evidence to support the claims that the true aim of such chatter must be to use lies to make it harder for people likely to vote for Democrats to register and vote.

The reality is that some

Republicans have turned to suppressing the vote—

by voter roll purges,

voter disenfranchisement,

voter intimidation and

the closing of polling places—

when they fear they cannot win an election fairly,”

Donald Trump Appears to Have Committed Felony Voter Fraud

the Washington Post reported (https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/president-trump-tried-to-register-to-vote-in-florida-using-an-out-of-state-address/2020/06/03/687d0014-a4f2-11ea-b473-04905b1af82b_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter) that when Trump registered to vote in Florida,

he claimed the White House as his legal residence.

On the same day he filled out his voter registration, however,

Trump formally declared himself (https://www.wsj.com/articles/trump-says-he-is-adopting-florida-as-primary-residence-11572574793) a “bona fide resident” of Palm Beach,

the location of his Mar-a-Lago club.

The president therefore tried to register to vote under an out-of-state address that is not, in fact, his legal residence.

Trump made Florida his official residence.

He may have also made a legal mess.

the attempt by Trump and his legal team to squeeze through approval of his dock while the nation’s attention is trained on the coronavirus pandemic is now surfacing a potentially nettlesome problem for the president.

Trump agreed in writing years ago to change the use of the Mar-a-Lago property from a single-family residence to a private club owned by a corporation he controls.

The distinction is significant.

The property is taxed as a private club — not as a residence,

Trump’s own attorney assured local officials in Palm Beach before they voted to approve the club in 1993 that

he would not live there.

“It’s one or the other — it’s a club or it’s your home,”

Trump will be forced to make a choice, he said:

Stop operating Mar-a-Lago as a club and make it a single-family home again or

change his official domicile to someplace else.

California lawmakers pass November mail-ballot bill — with surprising GOP support

California lawmakers sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a bill Thursday that would bolster California's plan to mail every voter a ballot for the November election — and passed it with support from several Republicans, despite monthslong criticism of absentee voting from President Donald Trump and other GOP leaders.

Newsom has already ordered county elections officials to send all eligible Californians ballots in an effort to prevent the general election from becoming a coronavirus health hazard. But that directive has drawn multiple legal challenges — including from the California Republican Party — so enshrining the all-mail mandate in statute puts it on stronger legal footing.

Lawmakers want to avoid a situation like Wisconsin’s April primary, which saw long lines potentially expose voters to other people for long periods. Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto) said Assembly Bill 860 would prevent Californians from being effectively disenfranchised. California Secretary of State Alex Padilla also supports the measure.

“No one should have to risk their health and possibly their life to exercise their constitutional right to vote,” Berman said.

The bill would not end in-person voting, which by state law must still be available. A companion measure in the Senate would expand opportunities to physically cast ballots both on Election Day and in the preceding days; a Newsom executive order doing the same is tangled up in a court fight.

The Assembly passed the bill on a 63-3 vote and will send it to Newsom. With his signature, the bill would become law immediately since it was written as an urgency measure.

Republicans who supported the bill commended language ensuring that ballots will not be mailed to inactive voters who have not participated in recent elections. The Trump administration has seized on a lawsuit finding inactive voters on the rolls to falsely claim California is mailing ballots to ineligible voters.

In the City Council election, 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but only 13,557 votes were counted. More than 3,190 votes, 19% of the total ballots cast, were disqualified by the board of elections. Due to the pandemic, Paterson’s election was done through vote-by-mail. Community organizations, such as the city’s NAACP chapter, are calling for the entire election to be invalidated.

Mail-in ballots have long been acknowledged by voting experts to be more susceptible to fraud and irregularities than in-person voting. This has raised concerns from President Trump and other Republicans about the integrity of national elections in November, which are expected to include a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots. If Paterson is any guide, it ought to concern Democrats as well.

Over 800 ballots in Paterson were invalidated for appearing in mailboxes improperly bundled together – including a one mailbox where hundreds of ballots were in a single packet. The bundles were turned over to law enforcement to investigate potential criminal activity related to the collection of the ballots.

The board of elections disqualified another 2,300 ballots after concluding that the signatures on them did not match the signatures on voter records.

Reporting by NBC further uncovered citizens of Paterson who are listed as having voted, but who told the news outlet they never received a ballot and did not vote. One woman, Ramona Javier, after being shown the list of people on her block who allegedly voted, told the outlet she knew of eight family members and neighbors who were wrongly listed. “We did not receive vote-by-mail ballots and thus we did not vote,” she said. “This is corruption. This is fraud.”

There were multiple reports that large numbers of mail-in ballots were left on the lobby floors of apartment buildings and not delivered to residents’ individual mailboxes, further casting doubt on the integrity of the election.

thats true... it has zero value in giving democratic candidates an advantage over republican ones in general elections, so its unclear what the motives actually were. disenfranchising republican voters from participating in the republican primary is obviously a bad thing, but i dont see how that inherently benefits democrats unless it impacted their ability to vote in general elections, which it doesnt

Mail in voting isn't a novelty. Five US States rely on it exclusively, in the rest absentees vote by mail. It's safe and reliable, but issues like ballots that arrive after election day (not counted in most states) and ballots without postmarks (a PO error) routinely cause large numbers of spoiled ballots, as in the case Chris just cited.

Mail in voting is just voting, tbh.

How the Case for Voter Fraud Was Tested — and Utterly Failed
From a new Supreme Court ruling to a census question about citizenship, the campaign against illegal registration is thriving. But when the top proponent was challenged in a Kansas courtroom to prove that such fraud is rampant, the claims went up in smoke.

https://www.propublica.org/article/kris-kobach-voter-fraud-kansas-trial

[Winehole23]

Trump Campaign sued to 67 county election boards to prevent new vote by mail provisions in PA, claiming voters will be disenfranchsed and the door opened to election fraud. A federal judge has given the Trump campaign until Friday to share any evidence it may have to support its claims that postal voting conduces to voter fraud.


A federal judge in Pennsylvania told the Trump campaign and the Republican Party that they must produce evidence they have of vote-by-mail fraud in the state by Friday.

The judge’s order, in a high-profile case about vote-by-mail in the battleground state, essentially forces the Trump campaign to try to back up President Donald Trump’s false claims about massive voter fraud in postal voting. The federal lawsuit filed in Pittsburgh claims (https://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2020/06/29/trump-campaign-sues-67-pa-county-election-boards-including-allegheny-county-election-board-over-mail-in-ballots/) that as voters jumped to make use of the greatly broadened eligibility for mail-in ballots during the June 2 primary, practices and procedures by elections officials ran afoul of state law and the state and federal constitutions.

“The Court finds that instances of voter fraud are relevant to the claims and defenses in this case,” District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan wrote on Thursday, telling Republicans that they need to provide evidence of fraud to the Democratic Party and the Sierra Club, which are part of the lawsuit.

Studies Agree: Impersonation Fraud by Voters Very Rarely Happens

 The Brennan Center’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that mostreported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied forvoter fraud, and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent. Given this tinyincident rate for voter impersonation fraud, it is more likely, the report noted, that an American“will be struck by lightning than that he will impersonate another voter at the polls.”

 A study published by a Columbia University political scientist tracked incidence rates for voterfraud for two years, and found that the rare fraud that was reported generally could be traced to“false claims by the loser of a close race, mischief and administrative or voter error.”

 A 2017 analysis published in The Washington Post concluded that there is no evidence to support Trump’s claim that Massachusetts residents were bused into New Hampshire to vote.

 A comprehensive 2014 study published in The Washington Post found 31 credible instances ofimpersonation fraud from 2000 to 2014, out of more than 1 billion ballots cast. Even this tinynumber is likely inflated, as the study’s author counted not just prosecutions or convictions, butany and all credible claims.

 Two studies done at Arizona State University, one in 2012 and another in 2016, found similarlynegligible rates of impersonation fraud. The project found 10 cases of voter impersonation fraud nationwide from 2000-2012. The follow-up study, which looked for fraud specifically in stateswhere politicians have argued that fraud is a pernicious problem, found zero successful prosecutions for impersonation fraud in five states from 2012-2016.

 A review of the 2016 election found four documented cases of voter fraud.

 Research into the 2016 election found no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

 A 2016 working paper concluded that the upper limit on double voting in the 2012 election was 0.02%. The paper noted that the incident rate was likely much lower, given audits conducted by 2the researchers showed that “many, if not all, of these apparent double votes could be a result of measurement error.”

 A 2014 paper concluded that “the likely percent of non-citizen voters in recent US elections is 0.”

 A 2014 nationwide study found “no evidence of widespread impersonation fraud” in the 2012 election.

 A 2014 study that examined impersonation fraud both at the polls and by mail ballot found zero instances in the jurisdictions studied.

 A 2014 study by the non-partisan Government Accountability Office, which reflected a literature review of the existing research on voter fraud, noted that the studies consistently found “few instances of in-person voter fraud.”

 While writing a 2012 book, a researcher went back 30 years to try to find an example of voter impersonation fraud determining the outcome of an election, but was unable to find even one.

 A 2012 study exhaustively pulled records from every state for all alleged election fraud, and foundthe overall fraud rate to be “infinitesimal” and impersonation fraud by voters at the polls to bethe rarest fraud of all: only 10 cases alleged in 12 years. The same study found only 56 allegedcases of non-citizen voting, in 12 years.

 A 2012 assessment of Georgia’s 2006 election found “no evidence that election fraud wascommitted under the auspices of deceased registrants.”

 A 2011 study by the Republican National Lawyers Association found that, between 2000 and2010, 21 states had 1 or 0 convictions for voter fraud or other kinds of voting irregularities.

 A 2010 book cataloguing reported incidents of voter fraud concluded that nearly all allegations turned out to be clerical errors or mistakes, not fraud.

 A 2009 analysis examined 12 states and found that fraud by voters was “very rare,” and also concluded that many of the cases that garnered media attention were ultimately unsubstantiated upon further review.

 Additional research on noncitizen voting can be found here:http://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/analysis-noncitizen-voting-vanishingly-rare.

Courts Agree: Fraud by Voters at the Polls is Nearly Non-Existent

 The Fifth Circuit, in an opinion finding that Texas’s strict photo ID law is racially discriminatory,noted that there were “only two convictions for in-person voter impersonation fraud out of 20 million votes cast in the decade” before Texas passed its law.3

 In its opinion striking down North Carolina’s omnibus restrictive election law —which included avoter ID requirement — as purposefully racially discriminatory, the Fourth Circuit noted that thestate “failed to identify even a single individual who has ever been charged with committing inperson voter fraud in North Carolina.”

 A federal trial court in Wisconsin reviewing that state’s strict photo ID law found “that impersonation fraud — the type of fraud that voter ID is designed to prevent — is extremely rare” and “a truly isolated phenomenon that has not posed a significant threat to the integrity of Wisconsin’s elections.”

 Even the Supreme Court, in its opinion in Crawford upholding Indiana’s voter ID law, noted thatthe record in the case “contains no evidence of any [in-person voter impersonation] fraud actually occurring in Indiana at any time in its history.” Two of the jurists who weighed in on that case at the time — Republican-appointed former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens and conservative appellate court Judge Richard Posner — have since announced they regret their votes in favor of the law, with Judge Posner noting that strict photo ID laws are “now widely regarded as a means of voter suppression rather than of fraud prevention.”

We'll probably see a maximalist version of this after the election, Trump challenging absentee ballots wherever HRC had large majorities in 2016.

Trash/Barr will challenge in states with lots of mail-ins, will try to drag out counting past the limit for states to submit EC votes.

Biden states with contested Pres elections will not be allowed to submit EC votes for Biden,

in the Trash/Barr attempt to drag Biden below 270.

A new twist I came across recently which could screw that strategy is that the newly elected House, based on newly elected state legislatures, decides a less-than-270 result, not the pre-election House.

So if Dems control more state legislatures than Repugs after the election, then House Dems will elect Biden

November, and maybe December, will be unthinkable, just like that past 5 years with Trash

TRENTON – Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal today announced voting fraud charges against Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-Elect Alex Mendez, and two other men in connection with the May 12, 2020 special election in the City of Paterson.

All four men are charged with criminal conduct involving mail-in ballots during the election. The investigation by the Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity & Accountability (OPIA) began when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service alerted the Attorney General’s Office that hundreds of mail-in ballots were found in a mailbox in Paterson. Numerous additional ballots were found in a mailbox in nearby Haledon. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all voting in May 12 elections in New Jersey was done by mail-in ballots.

In a thoughtful 37-page opinion, in one of the most closely watched pieces of litigation surrounding the conduct of the 2020 election, a federal court (Trump appointee Judge Nicholas Ranjan) has used Pullman abstention to decline to consider the Trump Campaign’s constitutional claims against a number of Pennsylvania election rules (including on whether drop boxes are permissible under Pa law and whether absentee ballots not in sealed secrecy envelopes may be counted)

https://electionlawblog.org/?p=114372

[Winehole23]

There’s one interesting procedural aspect of the case. The court notes that if the Trump Campaign had sought a preliminary injunction, the court likely would have had to rule (and tentatively interpret the state law questions) before deciding on abstention. But the campaign did not seek this preliminary relief, thereby letting the court abstain. Seems like a potential blunder by the Trump lawyers in not seeking a preliminary injunction.

[Will Hunting]

.
I'd be surprised if even a Trump appointee granted that preliminary injunction. SCOTUS has made it abundantly clear to the lower courts that the courts should be as uninvolved as possible with the election process.

Trump encourages voter fraud in North Carolina


President Donald Trump (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/trump-s-alarms-crime-fell-flat-2018-now-he-s-n1239020) suggested that people in North Carolina should vote twice in the November election (https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/plan-your-vote-state-by-state-guide-voting-by-mail-early-in-person-voting-election/), once by mail and once in-person, escalating his attempts to cast confusion and doubt on the validity of the results.

"So let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system's as good as they say it is, then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote,” Trump said when asked whether he has confidence in the mail-in system in the battleground state.

"If it's as good as they say it is then obviously they won't be able to vote. If it isn't tabulated, they'll be able to vote. So that's the way it is. And that's what they should do," he said.

It is illegal to vote more than once in an election.
