…a few brief lessons in “How to Talk About Voting”:

“For everyone volunteering to protect voters at the polls or in public hearings, or are writing about the election — say as a reporter, as a blogger, as a citizen journalist, or who have friends who are — or, you witness an incident of voter intimidation or harassment, and end up being interviewed by the press, keep in mind the following points:Rule # 1: Do not use their language. Always reframe.

Since the war and court case frameworks benefit conservatives avoid terms like:

fight, battleground, pre-emptive

lawyers, teams of lawyers, courts, judges, litigation and so on

These just reinforce their strategy — don’t hand them a gift….

Rule #2: Know your values and reframe based on those values. This means think about what voting, and the election really mean to you, and talk about that. Treat it as an opportunity to disarm their rhetoric.”
