1. No clue how Marc remains upright with

all he does. He has been looking understandably exhausted but keeps plowing through. The country owes this man and his team a lot!

[jmbar2]

2. He deserves a Nobel Prize for preserving democracy

[ananda]

13. No joke! He's the superman of democracy, imo!

!!!

9. PA. GA. MI.

All important swing states, no wonder the GOP is filing like crazy...and losing!

Good work, Marc and the rest of the team.

11. Notice how they're trying to block voting....

… in minority-dominated voting districts. Doesn’t it just seem a wee bit like the Repukes don’t believe in voting rights for non-whites?

[jmbar2]

12. They don't even feel they need to hide their racism now.

I'd love so see the DOJ reinstate civil rights oversight of the locales that are doing this.

[ancianita]

18. Yep, and

the DOJ might already be using voting rights law in these cases, tho' we're not getting the details on why the Elias team is winning. I hope he gets interviewed.

22. Awesome! Thanks!

14. So, Bill Barr

Like trump et al are still walking free and continue to destroy our democracy. While a bunch of their puppets head to prison. Sound like Justice and law abiding to me.

Wish I could rec

[Traildogbob]

21. Thank you malaise

I fully respect your thoughts all the time. Bill Barr is another of the traitors at the highest level of our government. He, trump, Bannon and Meadows, all 4 should have to share a 2 person cell. With two beds. With closed circuit pay per view to watch them rot.

[rustysgurl]

15. They will do anything to try to win ...

... very thankful we have these lawyers on our side.

17. So what about Cuyahoga County, Ohio

where voting sites were just changed at the last minute?

Is anyone on this? They might not succeed in reversing the changed sites, which would be even more confusing, but they should be on top of media announcements on radio, TV, and newspapers to inform the affected voters.

This is an important Democratic county that takes in all of Cleveland and its suburbs.

[jmbar2]

19. Not seeing any legal action yet...

They are one of the sites to be monitored by DOJ. If you have time, you might ask Democracy Docket about it.

[wnylib]

24. I checked their site.

There is no place on the site to ask about this. Probably too late for action since this is the night before the official election day.

I do not live in Cuyahoga County now, but I did live there a few decades ago. I am in western NY now.

The board of elections stated in a tweet over the weekend that the polling location changes were confirmed two months ago. Affected voters received a notice in the mail and all voters received the Voter Information Guide in September with correct information about their assigned polling location, the board said. It appears the first public announcement of all the changes to the polling places was in a news release from the board of elections on Friday afternoon.

"On Friday, we put out a news release, and we're very happy that the media shared this with their audiences," said Mike West, Manager of the Outreach Department for the CCBOE. "That said that there are some polling location changes for November. This is happening in seven cities. We also went over this in an election update that the director did on Friday. But what people need to know is, these are not last-minute changes."

[wnylib]

28. Interesting because there was an OP yesterday

that the changes were last minute.

But if they were notified 2 months in advance, that's good.

[Fullduplexxx]

29. Well the article that came out with a headline that said they were

Last. minute changes

[DownriverDem]

23. In Detroit

SOS MAGA repub candidate kamao wanted 56,000 absentee/mail in voters to vote in person tomorrow. So glad the judge said no.

[lindysalsagal]

25. Seriously-Marc Elias needs a medal, and a salary, and a pension, and our thanks.

[druidity33]

30. And I would like to caution him...

against flying in small aircraft!

[Sky Jewels]

26. The MSM punditry has guaranteed an Unstoppable Big-Ass Red Wave, so why do they need these lawsuits?

As Charlie Sheen said, "Winning" -- amirite?

[ScratchCat]

32. The suits are not serious and they knew they would be rejected

You can't change the rules after voting has begun. These suits aren't meant to stop any votes. They have filled these so they can say, "see, I would have won if not for all those votes". It's just cover for their false cries of fraud

[jmbar2]

35. Shark feeding frenzy

There's an entire industry now evolved around election fraud conspiracies backed by deep pockets.

Cleta Mitchell, one of the leading Trump grifting lawyers is making a lot of money filing these, even if they don't succeed.

34. I like it
