Barrett: "are you really going answer Justice Kagan by saying that result can never be achieved expeditiously"?

something about class cert?

And while the DOJ could never do all the work needed to enforce the VRA (and has never even been aggressive in doing so), THIS DOJ has abandoned all its cases enforcing the VRA and gutted the voting section (last estimate I saw was it is down to 3 attorneys).

There will certainly be an appeal here. But these principles are the bedrock of our democracy and, assuming they hold in this case, they should be a lesson to those who would follow Judge Griffin's sore loser playbook.

And the judge sums it all up:

And as to Judge Griffin's cherry-picking of voters to challenge only in certain counties, the district court notes that Judge Griffin is an interested litigant that shouldn't be allowed to pick which voters are subject to his new rules. This violates Equal Protection.

On changing the rules after the game is played:

Yesterday, a federal district court judge (appointed by Trump, not that that should matter) said no. I'd like to share some key quotes from that opinion, which I think say it all.

Shamefully, the NC Supreme Court took the bait on this gamesmanship and granted his request to exclude thousands of overseas and mail voters from the count unless they come forward in short order six months after the election to "cure" their ballots.

His challenges would mean that overseas and military voters that followed every instruction given to them would be disenfranchised just because he contends those instructions should have been different. But those rules were settled before the election and he never challenged them then.

The case in a nutshell is that Judge Griffin lost his race for the NC Supreme Court. Unable to accept that loss, he has cherrypicked thousands of voters to challenge -- but his challenges are based on attempts to change the rules in place at the time of the election.
