Statewide Election Denier Roundup
From coast to coast, the Republican party has elevated candidates who peddle misinformation about elections, many who still believe former President Donald Trump's farcical notion that the 2020 election was stolen. Earlier this year, we highlighted several "Big Lie" candidates in secretary of state, governor and attorney general races. With the primary elections now complete, we can gain a fuller picture of the Republican party's embrace of election deniers.
A comprehensive analysis by FiveThirtyEight found that 60% of Americans will have an election denier on their ballot in November -- out of 552 Republican nominees, more than 200 fully denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election, with an additional 62 raising questions and doubts.

Battleground Pennsylvania a Mockery of Democracy
Voting Rights Advocates File to Intervene in Pennsylvania Mail-in Ballot Lawsuit | ACLU - Oct. 9, 2022 |
A coalition of voting rights advocates today filed a motion to intervene in Ball v. Chapman, the latest legal effort in the commonwealth to invalidate mail-in ballots that are missing a handwritten date on the return envelope. The ACLU of Pennsylvania and the American Civil Liberties Union are representing the Black Political Empowerment Project, League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania, Common Cause Pennsylvania, NAACP Pennsylvania State Conference, Make the Road Pennsylvania, and POWER.
The groups represented by the ACLU are nonpartisan organizations committed to promoting democracy and ensuring eligible voters in the commonwealth are able to vote and have their votes counted. With 2022 voting already underway, the disqualification of mail-in ballots without a handwritten date on the return envelope would deeply impact the work of these organizations and could potentially disenfranchise thousands of Pennsylvania voters.
The lawsuit was filed just days after the U.S. Supreme Court vacated as moot the ACLU's victory in Migliori v. Lehigh County [1137 p.], in which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that the date on the return envelope is immaterial to voters' eligibility and, thus, under federal civil rights laws cannot be applied to disenfranchise voters. The Supreme Court's action did not reverse the decision but simply negated it as precedent; the dispute became moot before the Supreme Court had an opportunity to review it.
