With one contentious election behind it, the Supreme Court this week will consider the rules for the next, and how federal law protects minority voters as states across the nation race to revamp their regulations.

The court on Tuesday will review the shield provided by the Voting Rights Act (VRA), first passed in 1965 to forbid laws that result in discrimination based on race.

The cases at the Supreme Court involve two voting regulations from Arizona that are in common use across the country. One throws out the ballots of those who vote in the wrong precinct. The other restricts who may collect ballots cast early for delivery to polling places, a practice then-President Donald Trump denounced as “ballot harvesting.”

Doesn't seem like let bygones be bygones will work when the opposition supported people willing to kill Democrats

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-Mass.) has a routine when he is impressed by a first-term Republican during committee meetings.

“Hey, this is someone I should reach out to, figure out what their district is like, figure out areas that there’s overlap,” Auchincloss, first elected in November, says to himself.

After Googling the name, he does some quick research to see whether the House Republican voted on Jan. 6 against certifying President Biden’s victory in any states, as 139 did.

There are first world problems, and then there are San Francisco problems: for example, deciding whether or not a gay, white father of a multiracial daughter adds enough diversity to a volunteer parent committee filled with women.

That was the most recent head-scratcher for the San Francisco Board of Education, the same school board that voted 6-1 last month to scrub the names of such problematic Americans as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln from local schools.

is a Twitter thread and I will post the rest of the thread in the first comment:
