DOJ demanded voter files from all 50 states. DOJ sued 31 states for refusing their demand. My law firm intervened to protect voters in those cases. DOJ is now 0-5. My firm is 5-0. Lesson: When we fight we win.

Today, w/ @campaignlegal.org we filed an amicus brief in a case challenging Mississippi’s mail-in ballot rules. If SCOTUS sides with the RNC, ballots arriving after Election Day—even if *postmarked in time* & late for reasons outside a voter’s control—won't count. Read our brief protdem.org/4sysAdb

“The Constitution grants states both the authority and duty to administer elections, as the Founders believed states are best positioned to exercise this critical democratic role. Mississippi’s law is consistent with the Constitution, and it allows voters whose ballots are postmarked by Election Day to participate in our democracy.”
