NY Dems are about to burn tens of millions of taxpayer dollars to gerrymander for the third time this decade for only 1, maybe 2, elections’ worth of advantage. It’s giving desperate. Thanks to my co-author @Linstitution9 and @DailyCaller for publishing our op ed
Lex Politica Senior Counsel @Linstitution9 and @dwpolio piece in @dailycaller:
"New York Democrats are once again trying to gerrymander the state’s congressional lines to their advantage, but unlike other states that have rushed into mid-decade redistricting fights, New York cannot simply pick up the pen and draw a new map in time for the 2026 mid-term elections."

Shared my thoughts about recent redistricting news in the @FDRLST, especially how Attorney General @JasonMiyaresVA predicted the result in Virginia 7 months ago.

Attorney General Miyares Issues Statement on U.S. Supreme Court Stay of Ruling on Non-Citizen Voting
When this began, I promised Virginians we would take this case all the way to the U.S Supreme Court if necessary. Today, I am pleased to report the Court granted our request for an emergency stay. This ruling ensures that – with less than a week before the elections – Virginians can vote with confidence knowing Virginians will be choosing our elected officials. I am grateful that the Supreme Court recognized the importance of this issue and issued its decision in such a short time frame. This ruling is a win for election integrity and the rule of law.
While I am gratified the Court moved so quickly, I remain deeply concerned and alarmed that the Biden-Harris administration chose to execute this maneuver just 25 days before an election. Today’s ruling is a reaffirmation of our commitment to election integrity, and I look forward to ensuring that our electoral process remains secure for all Virginians.
My heartfelt thanks goes out to our entire team at the Virginia Office of the Attorney General, and all of those who tirelessly worked to present our best possible case on behalf of the Commonwealth. My further thanks is extended to the 26 fellow attorneys general who stood in unity with Virginia in this case.
I encourage all Virginians to vote with confidence in the integrity of our elections on November 5th.

🚨🚨BREAKING: I am pleased to announce that the US Supreme Court granted Virginia’s emergency stay to keep noncitizens off our voter rolls.

We are pleased by the Supreme Court’s order today. This is a victory for commonsense and election fairness. I am grateful for the work of Attorney General @JasonMiyaresVA on this critical fight to protect the fundamental rights of U.S. citizens. Clean voter rolls are one important part of a comprehensive approach we are taking to ensure the fairness of our elections. Virginians also know that we have paper ballots, counting machines not connected to the internet, a strong chain of custody process, signature verification, monitored and secured drop boxes, and a 'triple check' vote counting process to tabulate results. Virginians can cast their ballots on Election Day knowing that Virginia’s elections are fair, secure, and free from politically-motivated interference.
On June 13th I will be captaining a team from Holtzman Vogel--A Thousand Pins of Light--during the STRIKE OUT Homelessness & Hunger Bowl-a-thon with donations helping Community Touch. Donate here: shorturl.at/csxMX to help. Any amount is appreciated!

How State “Sore-Loser” Laws Make It Impossible For Trump To Run A Successful Third-Party Campaign If He Loses The Republican Primary jdsupra.com/legalnews/how-st…
If Kenneth Vogel calls you a "top GOP lawyer[]", does that make it true?
TRUMP has stoked rumors of a 3rd-party run if he loses the GOP nomination.
But "sore-loser laws" — which restrict candidates from running in the general election after losing a primary — make that impossible, per new @harvardjlpp piece by top GOP lawyers. harvard-jlpp.com/wp-content/…

“Sore-loser laws in 28 states do indeed apply to presidential candidates and that if a candidate fails to win the Republican nomination, sore-loser laws will prevent access to the general election ballot in those states.
This includes 20 states Trump won in either 2016 or 2020.”

NEW: Trump's threat to run as a third-party candidate is undercut by "sore loser" laws in six states that bar anyone defeated in a major-party primary from appearing on the ballot
Those restrictions affect 91 electoral votes
