Trump DOJ’s claims about voter fraud in California follow a familiar pattern. “They lie about unlawful voters and threaten federal action,” Marc Elias says. “But when their claims are examined closely, they collapse.” Most people will see the headline. Follow us to know what it means.

USPS says its new rule to implement Trump’s anti-mail voting EO will “enhance the efficiency of postal operations.” Marc Elias is calling bullshit. “This has nothing to do with efficiency. [USPS is] just doing the bidding of the White House.” Stay in the know: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Traditionally, taking a case to the Supreme Court means there’s a dispute among different judges’ rulings. When it comes to the DOJ’s voter roll crusade, there is no dispute: the department has overstepped its legal authority. "All of the judges are saying the same thing," Marc Elias says.

Attorney General Todd Blanche says the federal government should play a role in elections. That’s not what the U.S. Constitution says. “The federal government plays only the role that Congress gives it. Period,” Marc Elias says. Help us protect free and fair elections: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

We’ve seen too much cowardice from large law firms ahead of the 2026 midterms. “We can’t just send the voters out by themselves,” Marc Elias says. “We need the lawyers to do their part.” We’re stepping up and speaking out for voters like you: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

It’s a federal crime to send armed federal agents to the polls. So why does the Trump administration keep suggesting it? “The answer is … Donald Trump wants to, to use his words, cheat like hell,” Marc Elias says. This isn't over. Stay close: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

In its new rule to implement Trump’s anti-mail voting order, USPS compared mail ballots to fake bombs. “There is nothing about a piece of paper with markings on it that is at all like a fake explosive,” Marc Elias says. Help us hold USPS accountable: https://demdock.com/3T3Owjg

Nearly 4,000 absentee ballots in North Carolina could be rejected because of an envelope not being sealed correctly. North Carolina voters now must seal their absentee ballot in two envelopes, or risk their ballot being void. Follow Democracy Docket to stay up to date on the latest election news.

(6/6) Voting advocates say it’s not too late for the courts to order state officials to place the referendum on the November ballot. The question: Can the secretary of state deliberately subvert the people’s veto power granted to them in the Missouri Constitution? The answer should be no.

The Constitution starts with "We the People" for a reason. Missourians have been exercising their power to block the GOP's gerrymander via a redistricting referendum. But Republicans have placed obstacles at every turn. Now, the fight is in its final weeks as a Sept. 8 deadline looms.
