Welcome
to
our
daily
feature,

Quote
of
the
Day
.


The
attacks
that
Donald
Trump
has
leveled
against
me
and
others
are
related
to
his
own
pathological
need
to
attack
people
who
stand
up
to
him
and
who
fight
for
free
and
fair
elections
and
for
democracy.


I
wouldn’t
recommend
that
people
try
to
get
themselves
in
his
crosshairs,
but
I
would
certainly
say
that
anyone
who
finds
themselves
in
those
crosshairs
should
be
standing
up
and
speaking
out,
and
not
cutting
deals
or
capitulating.






Marc
Elias
,
chair
of
election
litigation
boutique
Elias
Law
Group,
in
comments
given
to
the

New
York
Law
Journal
,
concerning
attacks
made
against
him
by
Donald
Trump
for
his
work
opposing
the
administration’s
policies.
Elias
said
his
firm
has
seen
a
“massive
surge”
in
redistricting
litigation
and
voting
rights
litigation
in
general
“because
of
the
attacks
on
voting
coming
from
this
administration,
particularly
the
fact
that
the
Department
of
Justice
is
now
not
only
not
defending
voting
rights
but
is
actually
now
suing
to
try
to
make
voting
harder.”
