This Marine Le Pen verdict is stunning and significant. Will France show America how to be great again?

We know the SAVE Act is voter suppression. A similar requirement recently introduced in UK. In London elections we found that nearly 30% of voters turned away for not having photo id, DID NOT RETURN. That’s not including those lacking photo id who didn’t attempt to vote. @northjules.bsky.social

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties.

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back
