Who can challenge voters at the polls? What counts as
#voterintimidation? Are private #militias allowed outside the polls? Mary McCord of Georgetown Law's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (@GeorgetownICAP) explains the law.
If you experience voter intimidation during #Election2020, report it to your election officials, call 9-1-1 if in danger, and call the nonpartisan Election Protection coalition hotline for legal assistance: 1-866-OUR-VOTE.
.@GeorgetownICAP provides a fact sheet on #voterintimidation laws, detailing what kinds of conduct could constitute it, and what to do if you experience it: bit.ly/voterintimidat…
.@GeorgetownICAP also created fact sheets for all 50 states on illegal militias and what to do if voters encounter them. Find your state’s fact sheet here: bit.ly/50factsheets

.@GtownCarola recently hosted an event as part of its Fall Series, “The Future of Trade.” Speakers discussed what the future may hold for the international trade regime as the backlash against the global liberal consensus of the last 3 decades unfolds:
“[The #USMCA] is a fundamental change in the way we look at #trade agreements, and I think that it’s going to be with us for a while whether Trump wins or doesn't win” - @AmbJamesRJones: bit.ly/2GQcQ2M
“One big question mark will be if [the phase 1 US-China 2020 procurement] target is not met, what that will mean in terms of whether or not the trade war will escalate.” - Mark Wu @Harvard_Law: bit.ly/2Fa9ZkV

Thread on his powerful opening statement (1/10):
"There has never, not for one minute in American history, been peace between black people and the police," @LawProfButler tells @HouseJudiciary. (2/10)
"The main problem is not bad apple cops. Officers have difficult jobs & many serve with honor and valor. Still almost every objective investigation of a police department finds that police as policy treat African Americans with contempt,” @LawProfButler to @HouseJudiciary.(3/10)
