Here’s the good news: Thousands of state and local officials — attorneys general, secretaries of state, governors, state and county boards of elections, and state and local law enforcement — are working assiduously to protect your right to vote, to have that vote counted and to ensure that vote counts in deciding our nation’s future.
The bad news is that the president and his minions are working overtime to suppress the vote and transfer the locus of political decision making away from the people, and to bodies favorable to him instead.
The spectrum of threats ranges from arcane but legitimate rules, to the unconstitutional usurpation of power and the illegal use of force. Allow me to highlight just three impediments to ensuring the will of the people is registered and carried out. CONT.
