PRP's @_millerjon spoke w/ @NYTimes's @tiffkhsu re: how election officials are overwhelmed: "It’s not just about getting voting equipment out once every couple of years; it’s a much longer... process of getting trusted information out to the public."

1/ ‼️JUST RELEASED‼️
Important updates to PRP’s research with @The_LSSC about attacks on local prosecutors.
Our whitepaper Preempting Progress: States Take Aim at Local Prosecutors catalogs a sharp uptick in attempts to limit the discretion of local elected prosecutors — particularly those who have said they won’t prioritize abortion prosecutions — as well as successful efforts to push back against these efforts.

So excited about this episode with @errinhaines@jehabig (@public_rights) and Tyler Yarbrough of the TN Freedom Circle.
We break down all of the news and discuss an emerging (terrifying) phenomenon: JUDICIAL GERRYMANDERING
Check it out!
It was a treat to join @StrictScrutiny_ and talk about judicial gerrymandering, the upcoming elections, and more. Any time I get to spend with @ProfMMurray@LeahLitman and @kateashaw1 is time well spent! Check it out 👇
Excellent new @StrictScrutiny_ pod featuring @public_rights founder @jehabig elevating how states are trying to wrest power away from communities through takeovers of the courts and prosecutors

@AnnaForFlorida You shouldn’t have to imagine, but it’s the sad reality in Florida. That exact work *is* what we shall all expect and demand AGs to do. In fact, that’s our mission and purpose @public_rights — to ensure that our leaders are champions of civil rights & use their power to protect.
‼️Update‼️on the Florida Abortion Ballot Amendment case… abortion will be on the 2024 Florida ballot🎉
This election, Florida voters can add abortion rights to the state constitution and overturn the state’s six week ban that will decimate abortion access in Florida and the southern United States.
The fight for the rights of Floridians is not over, but for now we’re celebrating an important success. Thanks to @flprotectfree and a coalition of health care providers and civil rights advocates including @ACLUFL, @PPACtionFl, @FLRising, and @1199SEIUFlorida.
Next stop: the FL polls.🗳

HUGE for anyone living in FL or the Southeast US. Big opportunity for FL voters to have their say on abortion rights. Grateful to our coalition of Republican officials for standing up for what’s right in this case.
There’s another abortion case at the U.S. Supreme Court next month—one that could jeopardize uniform availability of emergency care.
And today, on behalf of 32 prosecutors & law-enforcement leaders from across the US, we filed a brief in SCOTUS seeking to preserve such care. /1
