How It’s Done

Norm Eisen of Democracy Defenders Fund: “Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves

They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule.

Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it.”
Election security expert David Becker: “There is another injunction in place, and even the majority of the Court agreed that a new lawsuit could be appropriately filed after a final Postal Service rule was issued. In fact, the final Postal Service rule was issued late last week, though the Court seems to be ignorant of that fact. I expect that the states will file a new lawsuit and that this order will remain blocked for 2026.”
How lawyers litigate.
"Politics is oftentimes pretty stupid.” Iowa Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand gave a masterclass on how to dismantle an opponent…by leading with humanity, then letting the hard facts do the heavy lifting.

Watch Sand speak on his Republican opponent, Zach Lahn:

“He's a human being. Politics is oftentimes pretty stupid. I think that we can acknowledge that me and my opponent are human beings, and that everyone who runs for office should be willing to do that, because it's important... we don't need to demonize people, and we don't need to lie about them, either.”

“He has lived outside of Iowa for most of the last 20 years... voted in Kansas in 2018, and in 2020, and in 2022... registered to vote in Iowa in 2024, just in time to say that he was a resident to run for governor.”

“75 nights in Wichita, Kansas, to 51 nights in Belle Plaine, Iowa. Now, he can say what he wants about where he lives. I'm a numbers guy. The numbers are 75 there and 51 here.”

“There's 3.1 million people in this state, and I do not believe that we can solve those problems effectively with a guy who's going to mail it in from two states away half the time.”
How you campaign like an adult, rather than a shrieking child.
