Recent LDF Media Hits

LDF Vice President Tom Spencer was featured in the Carolina Journal for his appearance on the John Locke Foundation’s panel discussing North Carolina’s voter ID law.

 

Ranking Member Rodney Davis was featured in the Madison Record to promote LDF’s amicus brief in Berger v. NC NAACP, a case where the U.S. Supreme Court held North Carolina’s legislature could intervene to defend the state’s voter ID laws.

  • “I was proud to join LDF in filing an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court to highlight that the U.S. Constitution grants state legislatures the primary role in establishing election law and that the role of a state attorney general is not to serve as the state’s lawmaker. Ultimately, the 8-1 majority agreed and adopted the reasoning from our brief in their opinion.”
  • Rodney Davis, Scotus Ruling Is a Huge Win for Voter Id, Madison Record (July 1, 2022), https://madisonrecord.com/stories/627857898-davis-scotus-ruling-is-a-huge-win-for-voter-id.

Wally Zimolong, one of the lead litigators in LDF’s case challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania’s mail voting system (McLinko v. Commonwealth), published an op-ed in the Keystone Today responding to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Act 77.

LDF Vice President Tom Spencer published an op-ed in the Tallahassee Sun, exploring Florida’s recent election reforms included in Senate Bill 90 (2021).

 

LDF Executive Director Lisa Dixon published an op-ed in the Daily Signal advocating for more transparency in elections.

  • Lisa Dixon’s op-ed highlighted efforts by election officials in several swing states––Michigan, Nevada, and North Carolina––to limit poll observer access, especially for Republican poll observers.
  • The op-ed also emphasized the important poll that poll watchers play to ensure election integrity and how observers should be given proper access to monitor elections.

LDF Associate Counsel Austin Cromack wrote an article in the Federalist Society’s State Court Docket Watch to explain a case in North Carolina where the state Supreme Court held two voter-approved constitutional amendments might be unconstitutional because the General Assembly that referred the measures to the ballot was made up of members elected from unconstitutionally gerrymandered districts.
