The one about the military is most concerning to me. It sounds like they're arguing that if you're stationed overseas for a few years, your vote can't count anymore because it can't be used to determine a state's electoral college votes. Also, then a sitting president, who is in charge of the military, can have people shifted around to be stationed in states where they want the votes to count if they are stationed in the US and still not allowed to vote for their home state.

Very strange. Unless I am misunderstanding it, it seems like a dangerous issue that could possibly end up before someone like Brett Kavanaugh. If you are serving our country, and representing your home state in our military, your vote should count.

Maybe people don't think of Nevada as being a strong part of someone's identity the same way they think of people being Texans or New Yorkers, but I think if you said someone from Texas were stationed in Germany, and they still identified as a Texan and not a German, it would feel more obvious that their vote should count for Texas, right? Whether they can afford to maintain a home there while deployed or not?

Idk that one seems nutty to me and not really something republicans would normally think to support.
Historically you have always voted where your home of record is.
Trying to change that is a direct attack on military members

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh seems like this comes with the territory of what they are trying to do. Granted they are sinking to Trump's level but it is what it is. If anyone deserves it it's him and his people.
That's not how being a lawyer works.

Is it doxxing if it's all public record?
Sure seems like it.

Doxing, or doxxing (from "dox", abbreviation of documents), is the Internet-based practice of researching and publicly broadcasting private or identifying information (especially personally identifying information) about an individual or organization.[1][2][3][4][5][6] The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to Internet vigilantism and hacktivism.

Lawyers are given cases and are agents of their clients. Lawyer's frequently work on cases where they dont agree with their clients.
No one is forcing them to take a civil case. If this was a criminal case where they were assigned by the courts, then I get what you are saying. That's not what's happening here.
