In this thread, I’m going to use a lawsuit filed yesterday on behalf of California election workers to illustrate how coordinated the Trump regime’s onslaught is and how the pro-democracy bar is well-aware of that.
I note at the outset that this is not normal. We cannot have free and fair elections in the United States if lawyers must work round the clock to safeguard elections from the federal government to close ballot access and disrupt the counting of millions of Americans’ votes. 2/

Yesterday, the unions representing California election workers and voting rights organizations sued the Trump regime over its escalating efforts to prevent the lawful administration of the election and the legally required ballot counting. On 10/29, the Trump DOJ directed federal prosecutors to pursue criminal subpoenas of state and local election officials in CA. It’s the latest step to disenfranchise lawful CA voters under the discredited banner of preventing noncitizen voting. 3/
