Not Intimidated
A court has gotten the Trump campaign on the record promising not to
intimidate voters on Election Day. That is huge.

On Friday morning, a federal district court will hear arguments in a
dispute between the Democratic National Committee and the Republican
National Committee over whether the RNC, the Trump campaign, and its
allies are violating a long-standing consent decree barring the RNC from
engaging in intimidation of minority voters at the polls. Its not the only
case being heard on an emergency basis this week: Democrats have filed
suit against Donald Trump, Republican state parties, and Trump ally Roger
Stone in the battleground states of Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania. In the Nevada suit, Stone has been ordered to explain at
a separate Friday hearing what his questionable Stop the Steal
organization is planning for Election Day.
.
But regardless of how these hearings go Friday, the lawsuits have already
borne fruit by getting the campaign on the record with its plans and
promises not to intimidate voters. In an important development on Thursday
afternoon, the Trump campaign in response to the lawsuits sent an email to
Nevada campaign workers describing for them what constitutes illegal
harassment and what constitutes good behavior. By getting Trump on the
record promising not to harass voters with its ballot security activities,
the Democrats have significantly lessened the chances of Trump-driven
voter intimidation on Election Day.
.
Democrats have presented evidence of the Trump campaigns encouragement of
intimidation.
.
The main suit stems from RNC activities targeted at minority voters going
back to the 1980s ostensibly to stop voter fraud but really about keeping
down the Democratic vote. At the time, the Republican Party was accused of
sending off-duty police officers to patrol voting precincts in minority
areas, it used vote caging to send mail to remove minority voter from the
rolls (something that was still happening this week in North Carolina),
and it engaged in enough other illicit activities that the RNC settled the
case through a consent decree that makes the organization liable for
contempt if it violates it. The decree was extended in the past decade
over RNC objectionswhich went all the way to the Supreme Courtand expires
next year unless the Democrats show that the RNC or its agents are still
violating it.
.
Democrats have presented evidence of the Trump campaigns encouragement of
intimidation, specifically its beating of the voter fraud drum and the
candidates words instructing his supporters, after they vote, to go to
certain areas to look for such fraud (certain areas being code for
majority black neighborhoods in Philadelphia and other cities). Theres a
good argument that the close working relationship between Trump and the
RNC makes them agents of each other, and thus that any forbidden Trump
activities would mean a violation of the consent decree by the RNC.
Democrats have also presented evidence of poll-watchers who said they are
from the RNC, a claim that the RNC denies. (Among other things, the RNC
says some of these people were working for a consultant hired by the RNC
but not to do this particular kind of work.) On Wednesday, the RNC issued
its response to a court order questioning its involvement in voter
suppression efforts by basically having statements retracted from Trump
running mate Mike Pence and campaign manger Kellyanne Conway that had
suggested that the campaign and the RNC were working together to prevent
voter fraud.

While it is true that we cannot discount the problem of Trump vigilantes,
the suit has forced the RNC, state parties, and the Trump campaign to
disclose their official plans. In the Nevada suit, for example, the
morning after the court held an emergency hearing, the Trump campaign sent
out an email to all those supporters who signed up to be poll-watchers in
Nevada that carefully limits the circumstances in which they can try to
challenge voters. All over the materials are calls for Trump supporters to
avoid anything that looks like voter intimidation.
.
Its no surprise then that Marc Elias, the Democratic Partys superlawyer
who has been leading this amazing flurry of voting rights lawsuits,
tweeted that the letter directing Nevada Trump supporters not to challenge
voters without getting legal advice first was the first success from the
lawsuit.
