What Trump is saying abt mail-in voter fraud is the essence of the prosecution Jeff Sessions leveled against our clients in Perry County, AL in 1985 that led CorettaScottKing to write her ltr opposing him for a fed. judge seat - the ltr @SenWarren read so “persistently” in 2017. https://twitter.com/joshuapotash/status/1247656751090077698
I know that it’s habit to ignore what civil rights lawyer know abt our political system, but know that we are familiar w/the playbook Trump is using.We were successful in defending the Perry 3, but elderly voters were reluctant to vote by mail b/c of Sessions’ failed prosecution.
Taking advantage of this pandemic to raise unsupported smears against mail-in voting is the height of cynicism. But it will only get worse as Nov approaches.
When Trump makes wild claims about voter fraud ask him for evidence. Where? When did this happen? And don't start with 2016 when he voted for himself so publicly. How often has Trump voted in person in his adult life? Is he opposed to military voting by mail Disabled voters?
