Gregory Lee Leingang and the funniest Trump assassination attempt
On September 6, 2017, in Mandan, North Dakota, Gregory Lee Leingang stole a forklift from an oil refinery and attempted to drive it toward the presidential motorcade while Trump was visiting to rally public support. After the forklift became jammed within the refinery, he fled on foot and was arrested by the pursuing police. While interviewed in detention, Leingang admitted his intent to murder the president by flipping the presidential limousine with the stolen forklift, to the surprise of authorities, who suspected he was merely thieving the vehicle for personal use.

Advocacy groups are key players because they bring most of the lawsuits filed under the provision of the #VotingRightsAct known as #Section2.
But in a #NorthDakota case brought by 2 #NativeAmerican tribes, the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that only the #FederalGovernment can sue to enforce the #law.
The decision conflicted with decades of case law. #SCOTUS blocked it in July, allowing the tribes’ preferred maps to temporarily stay in place.
