Why is Newsweek publishing this absolute shit from Jonathan Tobin? newsweek.com/think-talk-vot…
I would not write an oped for Newsweek if this is the standard they have. Very sad to see what happened to a weekly I used to subscribe to and devour.
I have still given interviews to Newsweek reporters---it's not their fault what gets published in opinion---but I think that has to stop.
This is of course nothing new for #FraudulentFraudSquad member Jonathan Tobin. Here's an open letter I wrote to him in 2014 calling him out for his voter fraud nonsense #FFS electionlawblog.org/?p=64894&utm_s…
Some people are just shameless.

And these days such claims are dangerous to our democracy.

Making a million dollar prize contingent on registering to vote is illegal. See 52 USC 10307(c) govinfo.gov/content/pkg/US… Also, with PA registration soon closing for this election it may not accomplish what Musk wants. x.com/hugolowell/sta…
The DOJ election crimes manual specifically mentions lotteries for voters as prohibited vote buying under that statute. . See pages 44-45justice.gov/criminal/file/…

About to be done producing free content for Elon here. Might just keep up automated tweets linking to blog posts. Find me @rickhasen@mastodon.online
Gonna need a lot of help here. Thank you all
I had started posting @rickhasen@mastodon.online yesterday and the posts were automatically coming here as tweets too thanks to the mastodon-twitter cross-poster. I've turned that off. So follow me over there if you want my content.

I'm not so sure.
Garland has a lot of control over who gets appointed as special counsel. He can pick someone with integrity and respect on both sides of the aisle. And someone who can act quickly. He understands how Mueller faltered.
Garland also will have ultimate control over what happens. Better to appoint the counsel quickly, as it was inevitable that Trump was going to run for office and claim a witch hunt no matter what.

I do not believe anything in the RNC consent decree prevented the RNC from pursuing litigation over election rules.
There are other reasons by election litigation has exploded, nearly tripling in the period since Bush v. Gore in 2000.
A few explanations:
1. The 2000 election taught political operatives that in close elections, it may be possible to litigate to victory. That's especially true in a system that is decentralized and partisan, where there are lots of discretionary decisions to be made over how elections are run. /2
2. As @derektmuller has shown, recent changes in federal campaign finance law allow political parties to raise special funds for litigation. They have millions to spend, so why not sue over election rules? /3
