I expect new pro-democracy litigation today. 

 In 2021, Alabama enacted an illegal map.

In 2022, Alabama conducted elections under an illegal map.

In 2023, Alabama lost in court and rather than comply, it defied the court's order.

So yes, it's great the case was won, but don't overlook what the GOP did along the way.

 TLDR: Republicans lose again.

 Democracy was on the docket in Alabama and democracy won!🥳

 It is 399 days until Election Day 2024 and in courthouses around the country democracy is on the docket! 

 My firm is currently litigating 45 voting and election cases in 19 states. I expect that number to grow this week.

The future of democracy is on the docket! 

 On the very same day that Hochul signed the 10-bill package into law, the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and other Republicans filed a lawsuit seeking to block the Early Mail Voter Act. https://www.democracydocket.com/analysis/as-new-york-makes-long-awaited-election-improvements-republicans-fight-back/

 The new Supreme Court term begins Monday, but questions about the justices' ethics and the institution's credibility linger. On today's Defending Democracy, I spoke with Rakim Brooks about how we restore confidence in the courts.

 My team will begin the week litigating 43 voting, election and redistricting cases in 17 states. I expect additional litigation this week. 

 What will be different next year is the presidential election and the resources it will bring. Conservative donors and activists are building the tools, organizations and plans to disrupt the right to vote with the same fervor that Trump and his allies tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power on Jan. 6.

 This was the biggest court win of the week. Proud of my team! https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizona-citizenship-requirement-challenge/ 

 Right now, this is my biggest worry for 2024.

 If Republicans would stop making it harder to vote and easier to cheat I would stop suing them for making it harder to vote and easier to cheat. 

 These anti-democracy zealots are rejecting ballot language for a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution. Republicans are afraid that if there is a citizen-led, independent redistricting commission they will lose.

 Another win for free and fair elections.🥳

Conservative activists are using new emerging technologies to develop powerful tools for voter suppression and election subversion. Left unchecked, we risk a new level of election vigilantism taking hold.

 As I told Nicolle Wallace, I'm worried because the attacks on democracy are getting worse. Donald Trump has gotten more desperate, our election systems are weaker, and I fear Trump and the GOP have more in store for us.
