I am once again begging any interested Delaware or Idaho resident who wants to be the named plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the cap on the US House of representatives to reach out to me.

Why Delaware and Idaho? Their Districts are ~2x the population of Rhode Island's

I know most of you guys know this and have heard me say it before. But I'm gonna keep repeating it.

In 2022, the Idaho Democratic Party wasn't even present in whole regions of the state. We only ran candidates in 45 out of 105 legislative races. We had no party presence in Nampa, where I live.🧵

"In years past, such a bald-faced federal intrusion into Idaho’s natural resource affairs would have been met with outrage by our state leaders. Quiet acquiescence to the water grab is unacceptable. Bipartisan public outcry could stop it." - Jim Jones #idpol #idleg

One wrinkle worth tracking: Idaho allows Election Day registration at the polls, so midday lines can include brand-new registrants, not just regular voters. Are clerks saying the lines are mostly first-timers or the usual crowd? #Idaho #idleg
