Vance Says People Are Too Focused on “Little Things” Ahead of Midterms (The New Republic) - like how to keep paying the bills.
US judge finds law criminalizing noncitizen voting unconstitutional (Reuters).
Leibowitz wrote that under the US Constitution only states can set voter qualifications, not Congress. Every state requires US citizenship to vote, and Leibowitz said it was up to Florida, not the Department of Justice, to prosecute her for violating that requirement.
"Can the State of Florida prohibit and punish the exact conduct Defendant Cox allegedly engaged in here? This has already been decided elsewhere and is not addressed here: Florida can and does," Leibowitz wrote.
Trump, who falsely claims that fraud cost him the 2020 election, has said stricter enforcement of documented citizenship is needed for election integrity. His critics say the administration's highly publicized crackdown on noncitizen voting exaggerates a rare problem and could undermine confidence in election results.
Trump team is now looking to see if DOJ committed misconduct in investigating Richard Nixon’s Watergate is just eaht Tricky Dick needs. Trump and the Republicans have a fetish for rewriting history, don't they?
