Quick Summary

Judge Luttig is concerned about the potential for chaos and a constitutional crisis if Speaker of the House fires the Clerk of the House and replaces them with a Trump loyalist. This could deny Democrats their seats and block the "blue wave". Judge Luttig is skeptical that recent ministerial role fixes will be effective in preventing this outcome, having witnessed similar scenarios before. Kim Rogers, founder of State + Local Election Alliance (SLEA), plans to vote in person in Maricopa County, Arizona, where she has also volunteered to be a poll worker.

Story summary

Kim Rogers, the founder of State + Local Election Alliance (SLEA), is not mentioned as being involved in any specific event or issue. However, Judge Luttig is concerned about a potential constitutional crisis in the US House of Representatives, fearing that the Speaker will fire the Clerk and replace them with a loyalist to former President Trump. This could prevent Democrats from being listed or seated, denying their chance at a "blue wave" majority. In contrast, another person claims to have volunteered as a poll worker in Maricopa County, Arizona (which includes Phoenix), but was put on a waitlist due to high demand.
