An incredible investigation proving Navajo voters were disenfranchised during the last federal election in Arizona (and showing it was much worse than anyone knew).
This truth would never be out there, had @VotebeatUS & @ArizCIR not spent 1.5 years pressing for these records.

But that's not what actually happened.

Join me Nov. 10 with two of the country’s top election lawyers, Republican Ben Ginsberg and Democrat Bob Bauer, who’ve spent decades navigating major election disputes.
