Marc Elias on Saving Democracy, GOP Soap Opera

Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias has been fighting GOP-led voter suppression efforts for years. In the process, he may be single-handedly saving our republic. He tells Joe and Alex the status of the fight for voter rights, the GOP's dangerous motivation to continue voter suppression, and how we can all help. How will the GOP's right to fritter away the right to vote play out, and can it actually work? Then, Joe and Alex break down Liz Cheney's ouster (and how Donald Trump called a Cheney a "Major Democrat"), 100 Republicans threatening to start a new party, and why she may be primed for a credible run for president. Marc's organization, Democracy Docket, is doing wonderful work -- follow along at this website: https://www.democracydocket.com/ New Republic article: https://newrepublic.com/article/162272/republican-voter-suppression-texas-democracy-reckoning
