Americans are watching. These tactics won’t work. Cheating is always an act of failures.

Yeah, but a federal judge, after SCOTUS declined to take up the case, ruled that Missouri can use the 2025 maps (those used in the August 2026 primary election) on General Election Day in November and that’s what the Missouri state officials intend to do.

Saw that. Don't think the legal jousting is over quite yet.

"The complete answer to voter suppression is TURNOUT.

"...the one thing that will defeat every effort to interfere with the November 2026 election is an incontestable wave like what happened in November 2025. Right up until the polls closed on election day in 2025, Trump was talking about rigged elections, and conducting investigations, and as soon as the winning margins came back at 10% and 15% everywhere, Trump just shut up."

To help turn our pro-democracy fury into a Blue Tsunami with election results TOO BIG TO RIG, I made this toolkit with actions any of us can take to help Get Out The Vote:

Yes, it WAS great news, until the day unfolded and Federal Judge Stephen R. Clark issued a temporary restraining order, commanding Missouri to use the new Republican-drawn map anyway.

Also, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe and Secretary of State Denny Hoskins have directed election authorities to use the 2025 congressional redistricting map, defying the Missouri Supreme Court's unanimous decision and the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling.

This needs a lot of coverage!

It doesn't get any more corrupt than Missouri right now.

I.E. I hope a brilliant Jamie Raskin type sees this fiasco in Missouri and offers to help fight these thugs along with the very hard working "People Not Politicians" grass roots group that beautifully organized and collected 300,000 signatures to fight the unfair map to begin with.
