  • 1605026 NY Spotlight Memo
    ! MEMORANDUM TO: Interested Parties FROM: Alixandria Lapp, Executive Director, House Majority PAC DATE: May 26, 2016 RE: Congressional Democrats Poised for Pick-Ups Across the Empire State With just over a month until New York’s June 28 congressional primaries, and just under six months from the November general election, Democrats are poised for significant pick-ups in congressional districts across the Empire State. This year Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense in New York – with at least six Republican held seats that could be flipped this November. Multiple Republican incumbents and challengers are finding their already-precarious political prospects diminishing even further as they struggle with a damaging party brand, a toxic presidential ticket-mate, and increasingly prove themselves out of touch with their own districts. Bottom line: With New York’s congressional Republicans increasingly vulnerable heading into the fall, Democrats are overwhelmingly on offense and well-positioned to win key districts across the state in 2016. New York Republicans Tied to Toxic Brand As in any presidential year, down-ballot races will be heavily shaped by the top of the ticket. For Republicans, particularly in New York, that’s bad news. Even before the GOP presidential race took shape, New York’s congressional Republicans faced significant structural political challenges. In six competitive Republican-held districts, President Obama either won or came within 1% of winning in 2008 and 2012. Now with Donald Trump as their presidential ticket-mate, down-ballot prospects for New York Republicans are far worse. Earlier this month, a poll by Morning Consult found that nearly half of all Americans would “be less likely to support candidates for public office if they say they back Donald Trump.” And despite Donald Trump’s big win in New York’s presidential primary, there’s no indication that it will translate to success in November.

    WRITTEN STATEMENT OF ASHLEE N. TITUS PARTNER, BELL, MCANDREWS & HILTACHK, LLP SECRETARY AND BOARD MEMBER, LAWYERS DEMOCRACY FUND VOTING IN AMERICA: THE POTENTIAL FOR POLLING PLACE QUALITY AND RESTRICTIONS ON OPPORTUNITIES TO VOTE TO INTERFERE WITH FREE AND FAIR ACCESS TO THE BALLOT THE COMMITTEE ON HOUSE ADMINISTRATION U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES JUNE 11, 2021 Thank you, Chairperson Butterfield, Ranking Member Steil, and members of the Committee for allowing me to speak before you today. The conversation before the Committee today is vitally important. Free and fair access to the ballot is essential to a functioning and enduring democracy. Free and fair access ensures that all eligible voters can vote and be confident that their votes count. It means that citizens recognize the election as free and fair and therefore accept the results of an election no matter which candidate wins. Safeguards that protect the freedom and fairness of the entire election process give the American people that confidence in the election results. I am excited to address the Committee today on these important issues. My name is Ashlee Titus. I am an attorney at Bell, McAndrews, & Hiltachk in Sacramento, California specializing in campaign finance and election law. As part of my election law practice, I organize lawyers to observe elections in California and have been an observer myself in several California counties over the last 17 years. I also serve as the Secretary and on the Board of Directors for Lawyers Democracy Fund, a non- profit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to promoting the role of ethics and legal professionalism in the electoral process.

Now, with rapidly accelerating growth, the short-form video social network can’t be ignored. TikTok offers organizations access to a unique audience with a platform that allows them to influence awareness and perception of their brand more than any social network has before. It’s time to take stock of TikTok. With over 52 million active users in the US (800 million worldwide) and 74% of US social media users aged 13-21, TikTok has access to a young, energetic and difficult-to-reach demographic.Get ( more TikTok stats). Younger people love TikTok exactly because it’s not like other social media networks. It’s a place where creators thrive, where the focus is less about production and more about personal entertainment and storytelling—everyone here is a performer. If Twitter is where brands can build their voice, and Instagram is where brands establish their aesthetic, TikTok is perfect for brands to activate their multi-dimensional personality.

  • Affordable Care Act Entrenchment
    ARTICLES Affordable Care Act Entrenchment ABBE R. GLUCK* & THOMAS SCOTT-RAILTON** The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most challengedÐand the most resilientÐstatute in modern American history. Through and despite hun- dreds of court challenges, scores of congressional repeal efforts, unex- pected state resistance, gutting by the Supreme Court, unprecedented administrative strangulation, and criticism from the beginning that the statute did not go far enough to embrace the principle of universal healthcare, the ACA has changed the way many Americans and the polit- ical arena think about healthcare and the entitlement to it. Over its ten-year lifespan, the ACA went from being the rallying cry of the GOP in 2010, to the center of the Democratic platform in 2018, cata- pulting universal healthcare to the top of the 2020 Democratic presiden- tial primary agenda. It began as a statute criticized for its practical compromises and its incrementalismÐincluding leaving most insurance in the private market and retaining state control over large swaths of health policyÐbut those very compromises have, surprisingly, proved key to the ACA's resilience. They have also been instrumental in the ACA's entrenchment of not only its own reforms but also a broader, emerging principle of a universal right to healthcare. The idea of health- care for all Americans administered through the federal government was long viewed as political suicide, including as recently as the 2016 presi- dential election. In an astonishingly fast turnaround, that idea has now been considered and debated by every Democratic presidential hopeful. The ACA's principles have been codi®ed outside of federal law and into state law, voted on in ballot initiatives, and advocated for on late- night TV.

  • State's Responses As of 8.21.18 (00041438).DOCX
    DEMOCRACY DIMINISHED: STATE AND LOCAL THREATS TO VOTING POST‐SHELBY COUNTY, ALABAMA V. HOLDER As of May 18, 2021 Introduction For nearly 50 years, Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) required certain jurisdictions (including states, counties, cities, and towns) with a history of chronic racial discrimination in voting to submit all proposed voting changes to the U.S. Department of Justice (U.S. DOJ) or a federal court in Washington, D.C. for pre- approval. This requirement is commonly known as “preclearance.” Section 5 preclearance served as our democracy’s discrimination checkpoint by halting discriminatory voting changes before they were implemented. It protected Black, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and Alaskan Native voters from racial discrimination in voting in the states and localities—mostly in the South—with a history of the most entrenched and adaptive forms of racial discrimination in voting. Section 5 placed the burden of proof, time, and expense1 on the covered state or locality to demonstrate that a proposed voting change was not discriminatory before that change went into effect and could harm vulnerable populations. Section 4(b) of the VRA, the coverage provision, authorized Congress to determine which jurisdictions should be “covered” and, thus, were required to seek preclearance. Preclearance applied to nine states (Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia) and a number of counties, cities, and towns in six partially covered states (California, Florida, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, and South Dakota). On June 25, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States immobilized the preclearance process in Shelby County, Alabama v.
