The operative—a partisan gerrymandering expert—not only provided the Trump admin with the true motivation behind adding the question, he also helped CONCOCT THE PRETEXT: He helped “ghostwrite” a draft DOJ letter requesting the question be added. https://t.co/QMgWMDmgGe — PolitiTweet.org

The operative’s fingerprints were all over the partisan push to add a citizenship question. A paragraph he wrote providing the Voting Rights Act pretext was included VERBATIM in a letter that Commerce proposed DOJ send back to Commerce as justification. https://t.co/Hoc9j1ADGP — PolitiTweet.org
