Trump’s Voting Nemesis Is at the Supreme Court. We Can’t Afford for SCOTUS to Get It Wrong.
CAC’s David H. Gans wrote an article in Slate about Watson v. RNC. Read an excerpt below:
Voting by mail is a critical part of our democracy. In the 2024 elections, 1 in 3 Americans submitted mail ballots, taking advantage of a simple, safe, and secure way to exercise their fundamental right to vote without having to endure crushingly long lines or travel great distances to a polling place. But despite its popularity, voting by mail is under concerted attack.
President Donald Trump rails against the practice every chance he gets. His executive order on elections, enjoined by multiple courts as an unlawful power grab, seeks to coerce states to roll back voter-friendly state laws permitting post–Election Day receipt of ballots mailed on time. And that is only one piece of the conservative attack on voting by mail. Another is currently before the Supreme Court.
