BREAKING: Utah Supreme Court affirms injunction VOIDING Amendment D. Unanimously rules the amendment was misleading and legislature failed to publish it according to Constitution. #utpol

We @CampaignLegal + partners just put Texas on notice that Gov Abbott's "ongoing" voter purges violate federal law.

We asked for records, esp about the purge of "potential noncitizens." We're concerned about possible removal of eligible TX voters. 🧵:

While I'm not pleased about the Court's order in this case, this is not true. The Court did not agree with Mr. Kobach. The Court rejected the stay application as to the majority of the RNC's request (& specifically as to most of the issues raised in Kobach's brief). But go on.

A major party’s presumptive nominee stepping down months before Election Day is not ordinary, but it is also not a crisis. There are Dem Party rules to select a new nominee. There are also rules established by the @FEC that apply to the funds held by the #Biden-Harris campaign.

The jury reaffirmed that the public expects elected officials to serve the public interest and not their personal financial interest. Senators must now decide whether to expel Menendez like the House expelled Santos https://t.co/t7MBahKaWU

Campaign Legal Center condemns today’s shocking act of violence against former President Trump. Our democracy depends on every American rejecting all forms of political violence. Tragic events like today’s shooting in Pennsylvania should never happen – not now, not ever.

NEW: Recent events make it clear: The Supreme Court MUST adopt an enforceable ethics code. News that Justice Alito’s home prominently displayed an American flag upside down in the wake of January 6 is only the latest example🧵

PACs, super PACs and secret money groups, oh my! What's the difference, and how are they used to hide the true sources of election spending from voters? We turned to CLC's Executive Director @AdavNoti for a quick, watered-down explanation in our latest #CLCExplains video.

[Trevor Potter @thetrevorpotter]

The disinformation about our elections we heard today from the House Speaker & former president is irresponsible, anti-democratic (small “d”) & threatens the integrity of our elections. #Voters should feel confident in the security & accuracy of the electoral process.

VICTORY: Arizona's Proposition 211, the Voters' Right to Know Act, will live on thanks to a decision this week affirming Arizonans' right to critical information about the people behind campaign media spending.

VICTORY: Through Prop 211, Arizonans declared loud & clear their desire to force the donors behind big election spenders out of the shadows and into the light. Today, for the second time, a lawsuit challenging its constitutionality was dismissed.
