“It’s one thing to put something on Truth Social with no basis [...] It’s another thing to have to answer questions to a federal judge."

Elias Law Group partner Jacquelyn Lopez spoke to @notus.com about how Democrats are holding Trump accountable in court.

Proud that my law firm is representing the plaintiffs in each of these lawsuits.

"Since late August, three states — Louisiana, New Hampshire and Wyoming — have approved proof-of-citizenship laws, and voting rights groups have sued over them." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Failure of Texas proof-of-citizenship law is not the end

Legislation requiring Texans to prove they are citizens to register to vote fizzled even as the Republican-backed plan maintains momentum elsewhere in the U.S.
