[ad_1] At 6:40 this morning Eastern, people started tapping their phones at the register and nothing happened. Apple Pay was down. DoorDash was down. Reddit, Hulu, PlayStation, all of it, gone. Not because those companies did anything wrong. Because a single Amazon Web Services region in Oregon coughed. AWS didn’t officially admit anything until 4:40 a.m. Pacific, which is 7:40 Eastern, a full hour after Downdetector lit up. They called it resolved shortly after 9 a.m. Eastern.

The state’s preliminary investigation found that up to 400 votes were cast by noncitizens, far fewer than the “thousands of votes” claimed by President Donald Trump. Trump has seized on the incident as validation of his longtime but unsupported claims about massive numbers of noncitizens voting. “Well, you saw what happened, they caught thousands of votes in New Jersey where illegal aliens were allowed to vote,” Trump said on July 22,…

[ad_1] From today’s decision in U.S. v. Romain by Eleventh Circuit Chief Judge William Pryor, joined by Judges Jill Pryor and Andrew Brasher:Because section 951 is content neutral, we “subject [it] to an intermediate level of scrutiny.” Under intermediate scrutiny, “we will sustain a content-neutral law if it advances important governmental interests unrelated to the suppression of free speech and does not burden substantially more speech than necessary to further those interests.” Section 951 satisfies intermediate scrutiny. “[T]he Government has an interest in knowing the identity of those acting on behalf of a foreign government within the United States, whether the…
