That's a wrap! We spent the last two weeks in court demolishing the lie of rampant voter fraud. Kobach’s iceberg of illegal voters is more like an ice cube. And it’s melting fast. #ACLUvKobach

The purpose of your conference paper abstract is to get your paper in the A Pile and keep it out of the B Pile. The sentences are: * The problem * Why the problem is a problem * One Startling Sentence * The implication of the One Startling Sentence nitter.gq/jozilla/status/9743579…
