Thank you both for keeping us informed. As a North Carolinian I feel I'm watching a decade long slow coup in my state. I get more information about what is happening from Democracy Docket than any other news source. Thanks again
Boy, am I glad you are on our side!!! It’s disgusting how the right continues to go after voting rights, but you and your team brilliantly keep up, and often shut down their efforts. Thank you!!!!
The supreme court should make a blanket ruling against any attempts against voting right violations and voting procedures including changing maps and introducing laws violating voting rights and procedures and removing any rights of politicians and governors including voting committees to interfere in any way, shape or form on voting
Thank you Marc and Paige for all your hard work! Greatly appreciated! And I'm glad Heather Cox Richardson finally covered what's going on in N Carolina. You've been telling us about it for a while now. Maybe more will catch on and it will be exposed to the nation finally.
To take Democracy Docket to whole another level can Marc & team have an hr or so daily on National Media like MSNBC or CNN. By themselves and not with other reporters.
I would love to see them on some of the Sunday shows like Face the Nation and others. An interview on Fox would be awesome too. Some of the Trump voters are turning away from him as they are now realizing he is not for them at all and being on Fox might open the eyes of more magas and they can join the resistance.
Has there ever been a bill introduced to make a free ID form available to all U.S. residents? It seems to me that creating an acceptable ID form for voting (while still allowing other forms like drivers license etc) that any american can get for free (because money can not be a barrier to voting). Not every citizen needs one, not required, but a free option for individuals without other forms of accepted ID that cost money. Hopefully what I'm saying makes sense. It does in my head.
I live in Illinois and we haven't seen mail delivery since before the new year. Louis DeJoy has destroyed the postal service. See if mail-in ballots get anywhere on time.
When I apply for unemployment after my seasonal truck driving job lays me off, my notices from IDES don't get to my house until two weeks after I already filed, when it used to be 3 days after. I can't stand DeJoy.
Yes, I am afraid that the entire concept of voting by mail will be effectively defenestrated. This would be catastrophic in states like OR and CA which have moved a great deal of the voting infrastructure onto the premise that it's possible to vote by mail
DeJoy is after their fully funded pension plan!!! He has stars in his eyes for all that money. They can't touch Social security any longer, they've taken too much from it already... so they need a new source to grift from ... and now everything is in place to allow that to happen 😢😢😢😢😢
Not accepting mail in ballots that are dated on the date of a designated time should remain valid no matter how long after the date of counting those it takes as long as they are valid American citizens casting those ballots!
What happened to all the peoples who had their voter registration deleted before the last election! Were the allowed to vote? I heard all dirtd of whining before the election but never heard what the outcome was and if they were not allowed to vote would that have made a difference? Is that where all the missing voters came from?
@karensagal8230 wealthy Democrats in charge that tanked Biden want to put GOP bavkin.power to keep tax cuts for the rich. It always amounts to follow the money!!!
We should ask for a recount in the presidential votes. Also sue for voters who were challenged and taken off the voter rolls without any valid reason. It could be filed as racial discrimination since they are targeting primarily minority voters. How many states had voter challenges, who requested them and who was removed especially when they are filed after deadlines for registration? Sure would be interesting to know.
Didn’t King George lose the War? Though they are not a single monarch can the State Legislature of Montana act like they are a monarchy not subjected to check and balances by other branches of government?
What make is talking about is your voting. MAGA is doing everything they can to slow down and it time stop voting forever . When Midterms we can vote out a lot of MAGA. We have to keep letting people know that everyone needs VOTE.
In March 2024, the Montana Supreme Court struck down several voting laws enacted in 2021, deeming them unconstitutional. These laws had eliminated Election Day voter registration, imposed stricter voter ID requirements, and banned paid third-party ballot assistance-a service vital for Native American voters on reservations. The court's decision emphasized that such restrictions infringed upon voting rights protected by the state constitution. In a separate case, the Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December 2023 that former President Donald Trump was disqualified from appearing on the state's 2024 ballot, citing Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, which prohibits individuals who have engaged in insurrection from holding public office. However, in March 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned this decision, stating that individual states lack the authority to unilaterally disqualify federal candidates, as such actions could have nationwide implications. The core contradiction lies in the differing stances regarding state authority over election matters. On one hand, there is opposition to Colorado's attempt to disqualify a federal candidate based on state-level decisions, citing the overreach of a single state affecting national outcomes. On the other hand, there is support for Montana's implementation of restrictive voting laws, which, if upheld, could have set precedents influencing voting rights across the country. This inconsistency raises questions about the commitment to democratic principles and fair play. (Used The New Yorker and WSJ articles)
When the Colorado case came up I could imagine the problem we would have if all the red states sought to disqualify a Democrat candidate. Here in NC we are fighting for our NCSC judge. She won. She won 2 recounts. Now they are challenging 60k votes.
No basic argument against this, but when one person with money tries to take the money of another person with money, there is sometimes an opportunity for divide and conquer. And, depending upon the ultimate intelligence of the people with money (there are whispers that Elmo Musk isn't actually that bright!), they may get punished for shooting and missing. Roberts and Barrett sometimes separate from Gorsuch/Kavanaugh/Alito/Thomas
I love how many times you essentially say "Republicans are right, but it's bad faith." One plus one equals two, no matter who says it or why. You may disagree that they shouldn't have gotten the answer right because you hate them... But that's neither here not there.

Thank you, Marc Elias and your crew! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Marc and Paige
Where would America be without Marc and his team?
The days would be so much darker in my opinion.

Each individual state is in charge of how they run elections…
Thank you

Love you narc and your team 🙏⚖️🇺🇸
Why wouldn't the official senders mark or postal mark work as a time stamp?
Thank you Marc Elias.
💙💙🔵Thank You. 💙💙
I wish we had a SCOTUS that interpreted the Constitution instead of re-interpreting it and/or making laws.
God, I can’t wait until 2050 where most of these idiots will be gone by then
I just wish they would be accountable for lying during confirmation hearings. EVERY single one of them said "Roe vs Wade is settled law".
End Electoral College and gerrymandering. Pas John Lewis Voting Rights act. Stop Republican GOP VOTEr
suppression fascist behavior
Only going to happen when Dems take back Senate and House majorities. Vote all blue at midterms!!!
I'm Disabled..Mail in voting is the only way that I can vote
And your vote should be counted!
Thank you, Marc and Paige.
Always appreciate your insightful comments

Nope on the whacko independent state legislature theory. I refuse to even capitalize it.
Thanks for showing this!

WON'T happen, the purpose is to RESTRICT voting, NOT to make it accessible to ALL !
Thank you for updates 👍
Thank you!! 💙💙

Well he was certainly installed into that position to destroy the entity. Just like every gov dept will be seeing very soon...

@@66zebulonit's the ONLY way our state votes ... mail in or drop off ballots
TY
When the us supreme ct is considering a case that we have an opinion on what can the public do to have a the court hear our voice?
Not accepting mail in ballots that are dated on the date of a designated time should remain valid no matter how long after the date of counting those it takes as long as they are valid American citizens casting those ballots!

You would think if there were missing votes, that would be reason enough for an investigation and/or a recount or revote.

It became the supreme Joke of USA

Mail in ballots can easily be held until after the deadlines or tossed by republican postal workers. The usps is not like it used to be.
Glad l survived
First we take their land, then we take their vote.
Donnie voted early in FL
Thank you for all that you do and keep doing for democracy.
Didn’t King George lose the War? Though they are not a single monarch can the State Legislature of Montana act like they are a monarchy not subjected to check and balances by other branches of government?
I thought in a democracy every adult has an automatic right to vote once registered

Can California withold tax payment to Federal Govt for disaster relief?
I shared.. with fb . Yall share to.
We need more of this quickfire update style videos. Like a weekly recap or something
legalpdf AI fixes this (AI eDiscovery, Legal Research/ Legal Document Drafting). Supreme Court to review cases.
Native American are the real American
Why is a date necessary as long as it gets there on time to me that's just common sense
💙🇺🇸💙
I get my ballot in well in advance of election day
Also, tell us what we can do.
❤❤
Marc, could the Court just throwing us a bone? Maybe waiting for the perfect change to do big damage.
Votes should not be counted until all votes are in. Then count the votes.
Amen!

i don't understand how they can challenge and sue AFTER the election is done.

Question: How is it that 4.5 million ex-felons were unable to vote for a 34X convicted felon?
Make that make sense plz
Would you examine the question of whether Republican voter suppression is responsible for Trump winning?
🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲
Is Felon47 prohibited from voting now? 😂
Why watch him? We know this cricket Supreme Court's gonna give Donald Trump a pass or anybody with money a pass.
