At first the department said they couldn't discipline the deputy due to a union contract. But a union representative disagreed: "He tased someone. Now that could be a criminal charge, couldn’t it?” So impressed with @aurabogado and @lauracmorel for keeping on this.

NEW: True the Vote raised millions in donations, claiming it discovered tide-turning voter fraud. It’s never released its evidence. Instead, more than $1 million in questionable transactions went to its founder, a board member and its general counsel.

The talent in Ese is overflowing. She worked her ass off while she was here. She used data and did that "boots-on-the-ground" type of reporting that makes stories feel whole and clear. If you get to work with her, you're damn lucky.
