As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Apropos of the today's executive order, here's my class slide which summarizes the results of vote audits over the past decade or so. To a pretty close approximation, individual-level voting fraud doesn't exist in this country.

Excuse the profanity, but this is absolutely fucking insane and such a clear overreach that I can't believe a magistrate judge authorized a warrant here. There is no plausible argument for a 1324 violation here. None at all. It's facially not relevant.
This seems a huge abuse of process.
