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 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

“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
@NMSecofState on USPS: “I personally am feeling very confident in the ability of our United States Postal Service to get the job done.” bit.ly/3jCMcZR
On public scrutiny: “You don’t have to go very far back in history to see how a secretary of state was made very infamous, or famous.” “We’ve all been working in our states to avoid that type of situation.” @Louisiana_sosbit.ly/33AMCKX
"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)
