Did anyone hear (TRMS) attorney interviewed to discuss RESPONSE to RW election suppression efforts

As per usual she gave an excellent, detailed windup to the issues but it ran so long (and left me so mad/dispirited that I was halfway for someone to pass the cyanide capsules), that I missed the segment on what we are going to do about it.

Rachel is good. But damn, I wish she'd get to the point a little sooner.

I missed it and she only gave him a couple of minutes after the commercial break after a more than 20-minute wind-up to the problem. She has a habit of doing this. A long detail of the problem and virtually zero time allotted to someone brought on to discuss what is happening to address it.

despite Rachel having asked him what we can do. He's working on cases at a national level and implied (I thought) that he's got it covered...

She described him as the "Democratic party's leading election litigator."

She repeats the same background over and over again. I end up wanting to stand up and yell, "I get it, already!" There are times I get so frustrated I have to tune out for a few minutes.
