The Senate Rules and Administration Committee held a confirmation hearing for Lindenbaum, a lawyer with the Washington firm of Sandler, Reiff, Lamb, Rosenstein & Birkenstock, to be a commissioner on the FEC. Days after, the Georgia trial for Fair Fight Action and Care in Action v. Raffensperger started in U.S. District Court in Atlanta.
Lindenbaum’s name appears as the third signature on the original complaint in the lawsuit alleging voter suppression in the race that saw then-Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp beat Abrams by 55,000 votes statewide in the governor’s race.

“The U.S. Senate must reject this nominee,” Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr, a Republican, said of Lindenbaum. “The FEC is supposed to be a neutral body that instills confidence in our elections,” Carr explained to Fox News. “She has spent the last four years making fake claims of voter suppression and pushing conspiracy theories. This has been a four-year fundraising effort for Fair Fight Action assisted by Ms. Lindenbaum.”

Meanwhile, Republicans filed a complaint claiming that Google’s email platform unfairly censored GOP fundraising emails by filtering messages to users’ spam folders at a far higher rate than it did Democratic fundraising pleas. The complaint cites a study from researchers at North Carolina State University that discovered throughout the 2020 election cycle, Gmail allowed the vast majority of emails from Democrats into users’ inboxes, while more than two-thirds of emails from Republicans were filtered into spam folders.
