Why is no one talking about this?
How many more elections must we endure in which the threats reach critical levels? How many more times can we ask lawyers and the courts to bail us out?

Another number will forever be burned into my mind: 4,669. Scott Colom’s margin of victory over Cindy Hyde-Smith to be elected to the U.S. Senate.
Last week, when Colom and his campaign needed a law firm to protect his lead, I jumped at the chance, not only because of Mississippi’s past but because of what Colom’s victory would mean for its future.
Trump went all in on a new Big Lie, this time about the 2026 midterms. None of this should come as a surprise. I warned about it on my podcast on Sunday.
To paraphrase James Carville: for Democrats in 2026, it was democracy, stupid.
Dhillon was the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights and a former Republican election lawyer. She was the architect of DOJ’s failed lawsuits to gain access to state voter files. And yet, in the homestretch, she was missing from the biggest cases.
The lawyers at DOJ no doubt understand what Trump does not: His effort to rig the Alaska Senate election failed. His assault on free and fair elections is over.
Amid all the joy and celebration, we must not forget that this election was held in the shadow of Trump’s relentless assault on voting.
The Republican Party and its allies are filing litigation aimed at making voting more difficult. Their Election Day plans will undoubtedly follow a similar path.
I look forward to the day when the DOJ returns to its core mission of protecting voting rights. Until then, I will continue to fight against these attacks on voters in court.
