And so, I hope we will see legislation that reconstitutes Voting Rights Act and strengthens it.

@joshkaul· WI· Dec 11, 2020

I do think it's critical that we take this opportunity to recognize how important it is that we protect our right to vote.

@joshkaul· WI· Dec 11, 2020

We need to make sure that we are strengthening democracy and reinforcing our elections are decided by the voters and not politicians.

This decision is a victory for our democracy and for the rule of law. This lawsuit was seeking to discard the votes of every voter who voted for president in Wisconsin as well as three other states and instead to have politicians select…

@dananessel· MI· Dec 9, 2020

I almost don't know how to describe whatever this lawsuit is because it's so insane. And it's insulting quite honestly to have the state of Texas come in to my state, Michigan, and to try to overturn the results where nearly 155,000…
